Why Cheap Apple Lightning AV Adapters Don't Work

[@jdujnd173]

[@SyedHousein]

The official Apple one doesn't work for those apps either. Streaming to external devices is blocked by the apps not the type of adapter you're using.

[@louuuuuu5]

If this is true, then this video is pointless and should be taken out.

@@Sensei-gk3wo Its not always apple fault, its because restrictions from the app

[@EgonTonsic]

That’s not true, I have an original Apple HDMI adapter and works fine with Protected DRM content. App tested on iPhone 11 Pro iOS 14: - Netflix - HBO Go - Apple TV+ - KZbin Premium Series

[@bobdrums]

My OnePlus does the same over a USB C hub, it's actually the apps blocking it which is so frustrating!

[@Sparkie075]

I just found this out this morning. No Netflix no matter what I tried. Sucks. Well, at least I’d been using it for KZbin all this time at work.

[@101RealTalker]

Really? That's literally all I am trying to help my dinosaur in-laws with, via their gifted ipad to relic of a tv with this adapter. Was hoping could set them up with such accounts, like Netflix and whatnot, but have you already tried to bypass the issue by opening Netflix from your browser instead of app and playing it from there???

[@GreeniusGenius]

@@101RealTalker Get them a Fire TV Stick or a Chromecast with Google TV. It will let you hit the cast button in Netflix, and still control it from the mobile device. Essentially, when casting from the mobile device to the streaming stick, the mobile device tells the streaming stick what needs to be played, and the streaming stick then plays it directly, but lets you control it on the mobile device as well.

[@aaroncano2247]

I have the same one but when i got it fresh out the box never touched i tested it and it never worked and it doesnt even wanna charge my device

[@adriiko]

My adaptor worked at the beginning and now it doesn't- a screen with a qr code shows up, similar to what's on your TV screen, but it does not mirror. When I scan the QR code it takes me to a drong cast app which is useless and kind of sketchy. Do you know how to fix this issue ?

[@SelcukDemiray]

Same here. My adapter was working with IOS 13.x after upgrading to 14.1 it does not work.

I bought one recently and it was working just fine. What ever was on my phone screen would pop up in the tv right away. Now it’s not working at all. When I plug it all in, the screen goes black and there’s no audio or video. 😩

works for Clean HDMI camera signal out? with filmic pro and other apps. i need it to use it like a DSLR camera for my livestream.

[@SylphidUndine]

this pretty much covered everything i needed to know. great video. thanks!

[@ItalyHart]

It’s DRM. Nothing new, it’s expected. The apple adapter will not let you mirror content like NFL, FUBo, Netflix etc. The licensing agreements for most state that the video has been modified and it’s for private use. To them, mirroring it on a larger screen is the same as selling the movie.

[@Username_Invalid]

Late reply, but a lot of these services will let you mirror it only if you go through their actual website such as MTV, or even the local channels. But it’s still it in miss.

[@dakotabedwell6829]

It’s HDCP copy protection bullshit that’s built into the HDMI port and there’s no way to bypass that

[@thernsa]

Why does no one real-time test the aftermarket adapter against the apple adapter?

[@felixroldan2026]

Hi Peter I noticed when I use my Apple iPad and Air Play to my Apple TV Box it does this Stall thing too but when I hit the Home Button it connects then I can watch the Video on the TV. let me know if the Lighting Adapter is the same. Thanks

[@trapperainsworth2435]

I bought one on ebay for like $8 & it worked at first but stopped working later. It shows an initial screen of the dongle but no iphone display on the hdmi. I tried resetting trust settings but it didn't work. I think I need to re-trust it because after I trusted it originally it worked.

[@stephenkarpath]

Thank you for this Review. Thinking about buying a HDMI for a IPAD game to use with a controller. Almost Bought Apple one but trying to save money. Worried lesser price ones didn't 100% work.

[@EPettersen]

I have lightning from my iPad to HDMI to external monitor. When I play a video, it shows fine on the external monitor, but the video is gone from my iPad. The screen says "Video is playing on TV". How do I get it to play on both?

[@futbol1972]

I bought this adapter like a week ago. it was working fine with iphone x to 24 inch roku tv but now it does not wanna connect. I tried the 3 hdmi ports on tv and same thing. I have to unplug the adapter or turn off tv and sometimes it works that way, but it is a hit and miss. Am I suposused to just plug in the HDMI cable to ipnone and to Tv and just select on tv the HDMI port that HDMI cable is pluged in right? or do I need to do something extra on iphone to connect it?

[@AirknightTails]

I was considering getting something like this to potentially Stream some games from Apple Arcade. Would that work by any chance?

[@lightvalve]

Same issue for me using $20 Dansrue "compatible" lighting to HDMI adapter. I will buy the expensive Apple version for best chance of success. Thanks for the tip!

[@pirategaming7316]

Don’t update to any iOS 16 software

[@cgjocson]

I used a 3rd party lightning to HDMI adapter too. I tried scanning the QR code displayed on the TV just like yours (1:56). This QR code shows up when the HDMI adapter is plugged in with a power supply but with no Apple device connected (just like when you disconnected your phone, it showed up on screen - 2:37). I scanned the code and installed the app from the app store (EZcast - this app may differ depending on the brand). Now I can use AirPlay (screen mirroring) and I don't have to connect my phone to the HDMI adapter at all. Have you tried that?

[@iiiamsheshexx]

How do you do that please the EZCast won’t pop up when I’m trying to mirror the screen

[@normabournes5789]

What 3rd party lighting to HDMI adapter did you buy?

[@BallisHobby]

Yeah I brought one and it worked the first time and every time after that it loads a screen but does not cast

[@antasytaccount]

nice one you discovered it just by accident. i was just browsing apple store and found also by accident that those connectors need to be compatible with protocol HDCP 2.2 to stream such drm content.

[@individous2833]

In the case of the cod mobile: well, I tried exactly that about an hour ago, drove over to my sister today just to get this adapter, it's the lightning to HDMI version directly from apple. my tv has almost no latency or input delay (is like super snappy when I use a raspi with a mouse connected i.e.) but the lightning interface seems to produce some lag and it only outputs at 30fps, unfortunately. I find it very much unplayable. even though it's just barely noticeable, it drastically affects my aim. would be alright even for a racing game but a competitive fps... no thanks! *** I DO NOT ADVISE TO PLAY CALL OF DUTY: MOBILE THROUGH THIS ADAPTER *** If what you want is a bigger screen to play cod mobile on, either use a USB-C to HDMI adapter on an android (as this interface supports up to 4k@60fps) or go ahead and install an emulator on your pc or laptop to have android running on a pc or mac that you can use to play call of duty mobile, also on a tv off course and even with mouse and keyboard support. this would be kind of overkill though and you might run into a few technical difficulties regarding the compatibility of graphic-processing-units. Really geeky would be to install an android fork on a single-board computer and hook it up to a tv. to not use a raspi3b for this tho: it god damn slow!
