Fitness+ with lightning to HDMI adapter

Has anyone tried to use Lighting to HDMI adapter to play new Fitness+ program? It did not work for me.

My set up:

I don't have a TV in my home gym. But I do have a large white wall. So I thought I could just use my portable projector to project the Fitness+ program onto the large white wall and work out that way, almost perfect right?

I have iPhone 12 mini (instant regret to play any videos on it and watch while working out is a pain duh), and I have the Apple branded Lightning to digital AV adapter. I use the same adapter and same portable projector to play Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, HBO, Spectrum TV, and Peloton workout app all just fine, so I don't think it's a copy right issue. But when I tried to use the same way to mirror the new Fitness+ program, the screen will go as far as the workout count down, 3, 2, 1 then projector screen would go blank, and video feed would switch back to my tiny 12 mini screen. but the sound would still play out from projector speaker, just no video. Any solution / thought?

thanks!

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

I’m joining this club.

Maddening and frustrating. Plus the sellers of cables on Amazon UK at least, don’t seem to know this restriction. They warn about not being able to use Netflix etc. So I purchased thinking it would be fine.

Apple is crazy to think users will buy an Apple TV (I already have one but not in the room I’m using for Apple Fitness+ in lockdown UK) or use an iPhone screen.

I know Apple don’t bother looking at this forum but I’ll write it anyway...

...get this sorted Apple. Craziness.
