ipad to vga to projector -- you are not authorized to play on this device
Got a warning that a movie was not authorized to play from the iPad with the VGA adaptor connected to a projector.
I stuck around the computer lab last night to test keynote on our projection systems in anticipation of using the iPad for lectures.
After about a half hour of changing projector settings I realized the ipad via VGA connector will not display anything unless a program that supports a vga adapter is running. When I started a keynote presentation it auto synced and came to life instantly. Before the flak starts, there were no instructions of any kind with the vga adapter and my many years of using these systems handicapped me as I would have never expected that behavior.
Keynote worked well for the most part although I was dissapointed that it did not mirror the slide on the display so I have to turn to read it on the screen. Also no notes visible from keynote. I did like the built in point image and the transitions were at least adequately smooth.
While finally hooked up I tested some other videos, mostly ones I had created, they worked great, I tried a downloaded trailer for Wall-E and it projected pretty well (VGA quality of course).
Finally I tried to play a purchased version of "The Hangover" and was stopped by a message that warned me that I was not authorized to play that movie on this device. The video plays fine on the ipad when not connected to the vga adapter and projector. I neglected to try it with just the VGA adapter connected to the iPad.
Anyone come across this issue for other applications or content?
