iOS 14 HDMI Lightning no longer working

After updating my iPhone Xs over the weekend I noticed my HDMI to Lightning dongle is no longer working.


When attempting to play a video through YouTube or other app’s, I end up with a black screen. The phone screen is displayed on the TV before I start the video and AirPlay using a Apple TV works, the issue for me is I’m using a cable in my truck and now can not watch videos on my TV.

iPhone X, iOS 12

I just purchased a brand new Apple lightning to HDMI adapter. I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 14.0.1. But when I plug it in nothing happens. I’ve tried different HDMI cables and 2 different TVs. But it’s like my phone doesn’t even register that the adapter is connected. It charges it but does not display video or play sound on my TV through any app.
