Playing videos in 2015 ML350

My 2014 ML350 and my 2014 E350 were both capable of playing videos from my 256gb iPod. The CPO 2015 ML with the "new" Command will not play videos except for DVDs. Has anyone had any success playing videos? If I find an adapter for lightning to 30pin would it work?

My 2014 ML350 had the 30pin iPod cable and the Videos showed up under the Playlists. I don't even see that category on the 2015 ML350 Command. There is a Video option at the top of the screen, but it is for DVDs.

It is the lightning cable causing the issue. I pulled the OEM 30pin out of my E-Class and it worked fine. The Videos showed in the menu.

What phone are you using? As far as I know the lightning port cant transfer analog video, so even with a 30 pin to lightning adapter, it wont work with any iPhones that have lightning.
I have both cables and the only way I can make it work is using the 30 pin adapter with either an iPhone 4s or my old iPod classic.

Edit: I see you are using an iPod, I guess I need to read...
