How can I get my iOS 11.0.3 iPhone to play Netflix on my tv through the lightening to hdmi adapter

Since I updated to iOS 11, Netflix videos will not play on my tv through the lightening to hdmi at cord. When you press play on a title, the loading screen pops up but the title actually starts to play, the loading screen on the tv freezes and the title plays on the phone screen

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.0.3

I’ve been struggling with the same issue for almost a month. I don’t have wifi @ home, so I download netflix titles from work. When I connect to my HDMI converter the phone mirrors. Youtube works fine. The Netflix menus even appear, but when I select a title to play, the play button, duration, and option buttons all appear, and then freeze. The sound comes through the tv, but the video continues playing on the phone.


My girlfriend found the solution. Close out the app. Go into settings>>netflix>>reset.

Open netflix app. You’ll need to then connect to the internet via wifi to sign back in. Once that’s done, you can (if desired) disconnect from wifi and netflix should mirror properly.
