MKV files on iPhone vs Apple TV

Hi,

I am using DS Video to play video files from my Synology NAS server.

When I open a MKV file on my iPhone Xs (software updated) the video doesn't play. I can forward to scenes in the video and the image is displayed but the file doesn't play.

Using the same app on my iPhone but I AirPlay the same file to the Apple TV, then the video plays.

Any insight why it doesn't work on my iPhone but works on my Apple TV via AirPlay?

Utilizing Lightning to HDMI Adapter for TV after updating to iOS 16.2 I updated my iPad 6th generation to iOS 16.2.. My lightning to HDMI adapter no longer works with my Samsung smart tv. I have two older Samsung tv’s. I have been using the same HDMI and lightning cable with no issues. Once I updated from iOS 15 to 16 the cable no longer works on any of the televisions. I have changed both the HDMI cable and lightning cable with new ones, no change. I tried to utilize my iPhone with the same cables, no difference. Was there an update with the new iOS preventing the lightning to HDMI cable to transfer movies from iPad or iPhone to the television?
