In June last year, Christchurch white supremacist Philip Arps was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sharing the video.
A condition of his release was that he not loiter near the mosques, consented to GPS monitoring of his whereabouts, and did not possess firearms.
Arps opposed these on the grounds they were a miscarriage of justice and breached his rights.
After his appeal to the High Court failed, he asked the Appeal Court to let him appeal again.
But the court today rejected this bid, with Justice Wylie saying his offending was motivated by "bigotry and by racial hatred" to all Muslims, not just victims of the attacks.
