Other HDMI with lightning adapter and Netflix

[hannibill43]

I have been streaming Netflix downloads from my iPhone to my tv successfully through a lightning adapter and an HDMI cable (male-male). After updating to OS 11, I no longer get a picture. Just updated. I notice that when I swipe up that the control button for mirroring seems to be looking for apple tv. Sound is coming from TV and picture shows on iPhone.

Sounds like it may be either a bug or possibly a copyright issue feature new in ios11. Or maybe a new Netflix policy.

[doublepost=1507209570][/doublepost]Everything works when I download “live,” but movies or shows that are in my downloads folder do not play the video. Bad for when you are in an area with no data or WiFi.

Yes, Apple is well known to block 3rd party wires from working with each ios update.
Not sure if they sell an official Apple MFI lightning toHDMI wire?

Are you referring to the hdmi wire or the lighting to hdmi adaptor? The adaptor is the official one from Apple. I don’t know why they would stop support for hdmi cables

Would a Chromecast be a possibility if the OP needs to replace his cable?

The OP should not have to resort to other measures to get Watch Netflix from his iPhone to his tv. That adaptor Apple sells, says nothing about having to use an Apple HDMI cable with it. There should not be an issue.

It's definitely an Apple adaptor? I didn't see the OP confirm.

That is am not sure of. If it’s not, that is the issue.

Anyone find a resolution to this? I am having the same issue using an official Apple lightning to HDMI adapter. Can watch Apple movies, ESPN, HBOGO but can not get Netflix to show on TV screen. Sound only, no video. Also, using the latest up to date HDMI cord.

I use an Apple lightning/HDMI adapter and Mediabridge HDMI cable. I turn on tv, launch Netflix on iPhone, select HDMI input on tv, and watch Netflix on my tv thru the iPhone. If the tv doesn’t show Netflix, I close the tv app, back out to tv blank screen, close Netflixon iPhone, and try again. Sometimes the startup procedure has to be restarted to get the signal.

Streaming video still works fine for me, anything that I’ve downloaded “offline” no longer shows video... but sound.

Tested this out last night as well and seems to be the same case for me. Can stream but can't watch anything that is downloaded and saved on the phone. Pretty crappy of Netflix to make it this way as one of the main purposes of downloading something is so that you can watch it in areas where cell reception is spotty.

Same issue, on both my iPad and iPhone. Ive only had this issue since the IOS11 update. Major pain when living in an area that doesn't offer wifi.

That is am not sure of. If it’s not, that is the issue.

Same problem here. Amazon prime works though.
