Lightning av adapter to HDMI no longer working after IOS16 update. Updated to current iOS 16.0.3 using Apple certified cord, turned off and on, phone is updated and backed up. It work until ios16. Another phone works, but not updated to the iOS16. For example Netflix mirrors from phone to tv and will play the trailer, but once I hit play the screen goes black and says now playing on your tv. But is not playing anything. How can I fix this issue? Thank you.
Not helpful at all. The update to IOS 16 is not compatible with the AV digital lightning plug. We full time RV and do not have WiFi. We depend on the AV plug adapter. We even bought a new one. My wife just purchased the new 14, she had s 6 which worked great. Our iPad worked great until we updated to the 16. Now nothing works. You all need to fix this and quick passing the buck to the other streaming platforms.
I called tech support and got to one of the higher-ups. He actually acknowledged it is an IOS 16 series software issue and that Apple is aware of it. Trouble is, he didn't give any specifics as to when it would be fixed or how. He thought probably through another IOS upgrade. Yikes !! Very maddening.
I am having the same issues with streaming Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, etc. I've upgraded to iOS 16.1 as well, without any successful "fix". I am using a certified Apple OEM lightning to HDMI adapter. I've attempted the use of all SIX of my certified Apple OEM lightning to HDMI dongles with zero success of each. Either I have a black screen on my TV with audio or I have no audio and a "stuttering" video display whereby the video plays in slow motion for a second then pauses, plays again in slow-mo for a second then pauses...and so forth. Currently ONE streaming apps worked successfully...Disney+. I find it a sickening shame that I've paid for six lightning to HDMI cables at the cost of nearly $50 each and the so called "much needed" updates fail to accommodate and keep useful purpose with an Apple designed and sold accessory.
My original issue was that the "Lightning Digital AV Adapter" stopped working for one specific iPhone (connecting via HDMI to a TV for screen mirroring and Fitness+ playback). The TV would not recognize any input, the same adapter worked with a different iPhone.
My wife and I sat down this evening to watch a Prime Video we had been looking forward to watching......could not use our lightning to HDMI adaptor since updating our phones to iOS 16.2-----unbelievable. I've spent hard earned money on cables and an official Apple adapter so we can mirror movies to our TV screen in the rural area we live. Everything has worked perfectly the last couple of years until updating our iPhones to the latest software. I've been a loyal Apple customer for over 35 years and this takes the cake. We are so disappointed in how this has been handled by Apple. There should have been an immediate update released to address this issue. Apparently we are one household out of many that are presently dealing with this issue. We also do a lot of traveling in our motor home and will not be able to mirror movies to our tv until this issue is fixed. Highly disappointed.
This is ridiculous advice. Both my adaptors worked perfectly with the equipment I have until I updated to IOS 16 and now neither works! Also tried them on 2 tv's so it is not anything that I can do to fix it. This is a major bug that apple needs to fix.
Holy THANK YOU for that comment. I live remote and have spent many hours and money trying to figure out what is wrong with my phone and/or device and Apple keeps blowing it off with aloof canned suggestions and responses that are totally not helpful but incredibly time taxing.
I have a similar problem...with most of my streaming apps. Using the lightning to HDMI adaptor works fine for screen mirroring, such as using google, or photos, static content, but not for video. I've read recently that there are quite a few people with similar issues. Most of my streaming apps play, but are choppy, and have no audio. It seems this happened after I upgraded to an iPhone 14, and ios16. Everything worked great previously, iPhone 11, ios15.7. Help?
I pulled this chapter together from dozens of sources that were at times somewhat contradictory. Facts on the ground change over time and depend who is telling the story and what audience they're addressing. I tried to create as coherent a narrative as I could. If there are any errors I'd be more than happy to fix them. Keep in mind this article is not a technical deep dive. It's a big picture type article. For example, I don't mention the word microservice even once :-)
Given our discussion in the What is Cloud Computing? chapter, you might expect Netflix to serve video using AWS. Press play in a Netflix application and video stored in S3 would be streamed from S3, over the internet, directly to your device.
Another relevant factoid is Netflix is subscription based. Members pay Netflix monthly and can cancel at any time. When you press play to chill on Netflix, it had better work. Unhappy members unsubscribe.
The client is the user interface on any device used to browse and play Netflix videos. It could be an app on your iPhone, a website on your desktop computer, or even an app on your Smart TV. Netflix controls each and every client for each and every device.
Everything that happens before you hit play happens in the backend, which runs in AWS. That includes things like preparing all new incoming video and handling requests from all apps, websites, TVs, and other devices.
In 2007 Netflix introduced their streaming video-on-demand service that allowed subscribers to stream television series and films via the Netflix website on personal computers, or the Netflix software on a variety of supported platforms, including smartphones and tablets, digital media players, video game consoles, and smart TVs.
Netflix succeeded. Netflix certainly executed well, but they were late to the game, and that helped them. By 2007 the internet was fast enough and cheap enough to support streaming video services. That was never the case before. The addition of fast, low-cost mobile bandwidth and the introduction of powerful mobile devices like smart phones and tablets, has made it easier and cheaper for anyone to stream video at any time from anywhere. Timing is everything.
Building out a datacenter is a lot of work. Ordering equipment takes a long time. Installing and getting all the equipment working takes a long time. And as soon they got everything working they would run out of capacity, and the whole process had to start over again.
The long lead times for equipment forced Netflix to adopt what is known as a vertical scaling strategy. Netflix made big programs that ran on big computers. This approach is called building a monolith. One program did everything.
What Netflix was good at was delivering video to their members. Netflix would rather concentrate on getting better at delivering video rather than getting better at building datacenters. Building datacenters was not a competitive advantage for Netflix, delivering video is.
It took more than eight years for Netflix to complete the process of moving from their own datacenters to AWS. During that period Netflix grew its number of streaming customers eightfold. Netflix now runs on several hundred thousand EC2 instances.
The advantage of having three regions is that any one region can fail, and the other regions will step in handle all the members in the failed region. When a region fails, Netflix calls this evacuating a region.
The header image is meant to intrigue you, to draw you into selecting a video. The idea is the more compelling the header image, the more likely you are to watch a video. And the more videos you watch, the less likely you are to unsubscribe from Netflix.
The first thing Netflix does is spend a lot of time validating the video. It looks for digital artifacts, color changes, or missing frames that may have been caused by previous transcoding attempts or data transmission problems.
A pipeline is simply a series of steps data is put through to make it ready for use, much like an assembly line in a factory. More than 70 different pieces of software have a hand in creating every video.
The idea behind a CDN is simple: put video as close as possible to users by spreading computers throughout the world. When a user wants to watch a video, find the nearest computer with the video on it and stream to the device from there.
In 2007, when Netflix debuted its new streaming service, it had 36 million members in 50 countries, watching more than a billion hours of video each month, streaming multiple terabits of content per second.
At the same time, Netflix was also devoting a lot of effort into all the AWS services we talked about earlier. Netflix calls the services in AWS its control plane. Control plane is a telecommunications term identifying the part of the system that controls everything else. In your body, your brain is the control plane; it controls everything else.
In 2011, Netflix realized at its scale it needed a dedicated CDN solution to maximize network efficiency. Video distribution is a core competency for Netflix and could be a huge competitive advantage.
The number of OCAs on a site depends on how reliable Netflix wants the site to be, the amount of Netflix traffic (bandwidth) that is delivered from that site, and the percentage of traffic a site allows to be streamed.
Within a location, a popular video like House of Cards is copied to many different OCAs. The more popular a video, the more servers it will be copied to. Why? If there was only one copy of a very popular video, streaming the video to members would overwhelm the server. As they say, many hands make light work.
