    People have reported troubles with non-Apple adapters when using ios 8.  Adapter worked in ios 7.

     

    People speculate manufacture not paying royalties to Apple for adapter.

     

    If you are not using apple adapter buy apple adapter.  Take to apple store so you can try apple adapter for free.

    Hi

    This is a problem with ios 8 maybe  something to do with D R M ie copyright

    The best way round this problem is to buy an Apple TV

    Then you can stream anything wireless from iPhone /iPad

    £59.00 for a Apple TV

    Cheers
