Why can't I play my netflix on my tv from my phone anymore?

I cannot play my netflix off my phone on my tv anymore.

And it keeps telling me to turn off mirroring on airplay but I cannot access airplay on my phone

iPhone 4, iOS 7

Might have some good news for some of you. I just essentially rolled back the Netflix app on my phone to the previous version. Here's how:


First removed the Netflix app (v5) from my phone.


Next sync'd iPhone with stored version (4.3.1) of Netflix in my iTunes account. It's critical that the sync happens BEFORE iTunes automatically updates the Netflix app to the latest version. In my case I had a number of apps in my iTunes account that needed updating which provided more than enough time for the sync to complete.


Good luck to the rest of you. I hope this proves helpful.


Cheers,

Tony

Hi,


After spending most of the day on and off the phone to apple support, I am happy to report that this has worked.

Am slightly more concerned that when other streaming apps update the problem will resurface.


The lovely people at apple were shocked that the airplay icon is no longer available when a digital av adaptor is connected, thus not giving the option to turn off mirroring.


Fingers crossed the next ios update might address this issue.


Thanks,

Tony.
