iPhone 4 TV Out

Unless i am doing something wrong, which i very much doubt i am not able to get my iPhone 4 to display video's out on my TV.

I am using the Apple (Genuine) Component Cable, LG TV and iPhone 4.

I have downloaded the WWDC2010 iTunes U keynote speech and available sessions.
I have started to play with the component cable plugged in, ensured that the settings allow for Widescreen and PAL output.

There is a Very Faint audio but no video.
Any help would be appreciated.

Apple iPhone 4, iOS 4

I use the youtube app. Connect my iphone4

to the tv via the composite cable with the

iphone connector.

I guess thats the digital connector -

Wide screen / ntsc.

Audio plays all day - no video.

This is the digital one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a

I use Airplay and my Apple TV to connect, I've asked another member to check the app with his equipment and check in here.

It's the 'dock connector'

I use the composite cable:

This worked until I installed IOS 6.1.3. Then YouTube stopped working for most videos.

I carry this cable when I travel. Netflix works fine.

I found that if I use the YouTube App, the video will not play on the TV. But,

if I use Safari and go to www.youtube.com, I can search for the video and it will

play.

So the problem seems to be with the YouTube App software or the interface between

the App and the iPhone output interface.

Correct!!

The current YouTube app is iOS 6 forward-compatible and is NOT configured for composite-TV-out(the red white yellow RCA).

So folks: Hold on to your older YouTube apps or use Safari, and keep a spare iPod Touch/Phone 4 or earlier around the house! :) Video-out shall not die as long as we stand united!!
