iOS 14 HDMI mirroring problem

Try toggling the settings under General/AirPlay & Handoff ... when mine stops working I toggle the three setting off and on then leave it on automatic then re-plug-in the adapter.... also respect my hdmi setting on the tv.... it’s a crap shoot but I always get it working again .... sorry it’s so non specific but I think ios14 is looking for a smart TVs which I do not have

Solution that working for me.

Have an iPhone SE2020, IOS 14.2.

Nothing worked.

I have a Chinese HDMI adapter (with 2 USBs). Plugged in power lightning cable, HDMI cable, an vs phone.

Noticed that Adapter Menu showed on Dumb TV (running from adapter), and that it showed a picture of an iPhone with WIFI and Bluetooth turned ON!

Well, I didn't think it was necessary in my attempts before... but i turned both ON.... And it all worked!

By the way.. Airplay was OFF in settings.

Display Zoom was Off.

(Some people suggest toggling them.. But didn't work for me).

I really hope that this helps you!

I too am having this issue. I use an Ipad mini 4 and connect via the lightning port HDMI adapter. It charges through the adapter, but the HDMI no longer works. It does stop audio as if it is sending the audio through the port, but it does not send anything to the monitor/projector/TV etc.. If I try an iPhone that did NOT upgraded to IOS14, it works fine. After the upgrade, the iPhone no longer works.

IOS14 must have a bug that has disabled the HDMI port.

This is a HUGE problem as we use this all the time for projector use and other monitor use with our Apple devices.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

I also have the same problem, my mirroring has been okay. But when I try to watch videos on YouTube, Shudder and some channels that are on Apple TV+ They aren’t playing except the audio only.

I have not tried Netflix yet.

i live in an area where I can’t watch or use my old Apple TV hardware because I don’t have WiFi but I can stream on my phone with the adapter. Now since I updated I can’t

Me too I can‘t play Movies via HDMI lighning adapter to my beamer. Worked fine with iOS 13. There is an error popping up that my screen is not authorized to play protected movies. I have been watching movies for half a year using the same adapter and beamer and it always worked. I hope it‘s fixed soon, the beamer was expensive and I want my big screen back..

Me too - can't use lighnting to HDMI for a connection to my TV via iPhone 8+ - I tried 4 different HDMI cables and 2 different adapters - I have the most recent 14.01 software - What have you done Apple???????? Please fix!!!!!

SAME problem here..... tried two HDMI adapters...... works fine with a friends phone with IOS13..... Stopped letting me play video on Netflix, Amazon Video AND on YouTube.... gives me a the famous black screen with sound .... I have been able to get it to work a few times but I don't have a repeatable set of instructions to pass along.... it looks like it EXPECTS a 'smart tv' in order to work...... well.... I'm using a standard flat screen tv..... sorry !!! everything points to IOS14 expecting to see a smart tv and connecting over wifi on a local network...... I turn things on and off and reconnect repeatedly and in different orders and after 30 minutes or trials it suddenly plays my movie just fine...... then I don't dare touch anything.... this started for me with IOS 14.0.1

IOS 14.0.1 KILLED my ability to play movies to youtube or netflix or even amazon video without repeatedly resetting controls over and over and over..... until I might get it to play video......... PLEASE REPORT THIS........ iOS 14.0.1 !!!

I ‘just might’ have found a solution 🤔... yesterday I turned off under general/AirPlay.... set Automatically AirPlay to TVs... NEVER ... I did this because it appear that iOS 14 was looking for a smart TV on a network all the time and by shutting that off it might finally connect to my dumb TV and in my case it did...

Well... I thought I found a solution only to discover I had to toggle the AirPlay setting more... I told it connect to a tv via a connection code (but not having smart TV this would not seem to work of course) ... anyhow after doing this a couple times I can now successfully play videos from YouTube, Amazon Video and Netflix (without the black screen just sound issue) I really think the problem might be related to ios14 now ‘expecting’ to see a SMART tv on a local network... sorry if this might make it more confusing but it does seem connected to the AirPlay controls

Still no luck with all the suggestions- I have a great 1080p Sony - please apple fix this - I bought the HDMI connector directly from apple - cant connect my iphone to the TV - used to work in the past!!!!

I have this exact same issue after having upgraded to 14.0.1 on my iPhone 11. I regularly use the Apple AV hdmi adapter to mirror my iPhone to my TV screen. Mirror works fine but once I try to play any videos from Netflix, Amazon video, Hulu, Disney+, or YouTube the screen goes black and only audio can be heard. Oddly closed captioning does appear but no video at all. Seems like an issue when iPhone goes into “TV” mode to play video on external devices... This is a major issue and should be treated as a “blocker” bug. Please fix asap. Thanks!

Thank you

I just went to the General -->AirPlay --> off the Handoff then one it back. Change to Ask then change back to Automatic.

Now it is working fine with iOS 14.0.1 with the Apple HDMI connector to my TV playing YouTube!

When a youtube video or netflix video displays a black screen but with sound.... I quickly pause it then go to Setting/Genera/Airplay&Handoff/Automatically AirPlay to TVs....... then I TOGGLE between "ask" and "never" (twice for good measure) then I leave it set to "never" ....... when I go back to youtube it's now playing the video as normal..... same with Netflix..... but youtube seems a little problematic and sometimes when I switch to another video I have to repeat the process.... but FINALLY I have a bandaid fix that works every single time now (for me.. that is)...... just wanted to share this...... IOS 14.0.1

Just got a new updates for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video..... my HDMI adapter seems (for the first time) to be working normal without having to fiddle around with the Airplay settings...... seems to be working again..... keeping my fingers crossed !!! LOL !!!
