Find out what to do when you have the following issues.
If you see video but can't hear audio
Make sure that you're using a Digital AV adapter (which has an HDMI port). If you're using a VGA adapter, it doesn't carry audio signals. To hear audio with a VGA adapter, you need to connect to the headset jack on your TV, monitor, projector, or stereo.
If an app doesn't display video or play audio
The app might not be compatible with your adapter. Check compatibility on the app's info page in the App Store or contact the developer.
If an alert says that an HDCP-compatible device is required
Your content might not be compatible with your adapter. Movies, TV shows, and certain streaming video apps require High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you try to play these movies, shows, and streaming videos using a non-HDCP digital connection—like the Apple VGA Adapter—an alert will ask for an HDCP-compatible device.
If you need help with other issues
- Disconnect and reconnect your adapter from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and from your TV, monitor, or projector.
- Make sure that your VGA or HDMI cable works, since the issue could be with the cable.
- Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters. Accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signals to different video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) aren't compatible.
- Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS.

Cheers!So, just to be clear, if an issue didn’t happen to you, it’s false. Sounds like someone we know?
This issue happen the day the iPad Pro 12.9 G2 was updated from IOS 10.3.3 to 11.0.3.
It occured on both an LG PF 1500W projector and a Samsung TV using a genuine lighting to HDMI converter and two different HDMI cables.
The borders of the Netflix page is displayed but the video is frozen and blurry.
We just ran into this with SLING and the digital hdmi lightning adapter. Wife upgraded to IOS11 today and now can no longer stream to our television. Gives a “video content blocked due to actively recording or screen mirroring” message and can only hear audio. I, fortunately have NOT upgraded to IOS11, and mine still works just fine. This is ridiculous and the only reason I can see is the push for people to buy Apple TV’s. Extremely disappointed here... Thanks Apple!!!
Definitely the new IOS. Mine was working a week ago and we just upgraded because my wife's iphone was getting really hot as was mine prior to, and I knew upgrading would fix the heating up problem which it did, but now neither of our iphones work with netflix.
App compatibility is not an issue as I’ve used web browser and Netflix so many times in the past. This no longer works w iOS 11
Agreed, same problem here. Adapter does NOT work with iOS11 devices, worked fine with iOS10. This seems like most likely explanation
This doesn't work.
IOS11 broke this feature for us on multiple devices.
Hi after speaking Netflix they said the more people that ring and notify them of the issue the more they will look into it Everyone please make the call
With iphone iOS 11 and Netflix with downloaded content it doesn't work! 😠
With ipad iOS 10 and Netflix with downloaded content it workes!
I have this problem too, and use Netflix and AmazonPrime to stream offline at home. We don't have good internet and live in a rural area. I called Netflix and they said no changes had been made on their end. Called Apple and they said nothing should be causing the problem, however, I was told to take my device and lightning AV cable/plug to an Apple Store to get them to work on it. Nearest Apple store is an hour away...very unhappy with this issue...no problems until I updated to IOS 11...AmazonPrime works, but Netflix doesn't. Can see the screen on the TV, but as soon as I try to play the TV picture freezes but audio can be heard. As soon as the video is stopped, but picture returns. PLEASE FIX!!!!
Must be affecting new product ONLY?
This is still working on my 1st gen iPad Pro running iOS 11.0.3.
This is my only upgraded iDevice, to date.
Netflix still streams to my TV using my digital AV adapter.
This cannot be a widespread iOS/iDevice issue as more users would be complaining about this.

Yes, and Yes.
Two things:
1. Agreed. Only pre-downloaded content is blocked. I am camping, with limited bandwidth, so I have to download content when fast WiFi is available. Streaming is not an option.
Why would only downloaded content be affected?
2. If anyone deleted the Netflix app, reloaded it, and re-downloaded content, jas it played OK?
Well,
THAT's a whole different issue!
I've never downloaded Netflix content directly to my iDevices.
Is this extra cash to be able to do this?
I never tested for this.
I just use my adapter for streaming Netflix content to my TV, NOT to download the Netflix movie/TV content onto my iDevices directly.
Maybe a DRM issue, then.
Netflix only lets you watch downloaded content on mobile devices ONLY?
Or were you able to watch downloaded content from Netflix to your TV using the digital adapter before iOS 11?
Could it be that Netflix changed their DRM policies?
You can no longer stream Apple iTunes movie/TV content stored on external storage device and streamed from that an external storage device because Apple changed their DRM policies.
Same sort of situation with Netflix, now?
Hi, Merry Christmas from Brazil ...
I have the same problem here with my iPad with no satisfactory explanation from NetFlix or Apple. I‘ve used to download a few movies or TV seasons to my iPad Pro and connect to a TV when traveling to our summer place with no internet ... not anymore. We tried via Airplay/Apple TV and also via HDMI/connectors with no luck.
As soon as we make the connection the movie freeze the image and we continue to have audio.
I really hope Apple monitors the communities discussions and fix this problem.
Best to all, Zeca./
