I've never heard of Rocketfish cable but google search shows that it's just an HDMI cable. Did you switch (your TV remote) to HDMI input channel that corresponds to the correct HDMI input on the TV? Did you try plugging the cable into different HDMI input on the TV? Before it fails, did you change anything such as upgrading iOS, upgrading Netflix app or changing cable etc?
You can also use AirPlay to send the video to an Apple TV through your wireless network, although the Apple TV also has the Netflix app installed. Even then the Apple TV is a good addition to your home theatre for streaming other content off the iPad, iPhones, computer or video rentals for iTunes.
I've got an HDMI cable which normally transmits what I'm seeing on my iPad screen to my TV except when I try and play a Netflix movie I get a message (on the IPad) saying "Cannot Play Video - The connected display is not supported."
Thanks for quick reply. Is it possible my TV is just too old (2011) for this new technology (for e.g. it's not HDCP compliant - whatever that means)? If so, is using a Chromecast likely to produce any different result do you think?
I don't know what TV you're using. I got my LCD TV in 2009, older than yours but it works fine. As long as you have an HDMI input, you can use Chromecast device. Best part of it is the cost. I got mine for about twenty bucks.
II've been streaming Netflix through my iPad for awhile successfully. I have the cable. However now somethings not connecting...get message on tv "no signal". Could this be my settings on my tv remote? I it on component to Netflix. Sorry, not very technical. Any suggestions appreciated.
A friend put a Rocketfish cable on back of my Samsung tv and I plug that into my ipad2. I change the settings on my tv remote and its always worked well. Now I get a signal on tv "no signal". I can watch netflix on my ipad but it won't stream through to my tv.
With everything. plugged in, have you tried doing a hard reset of your iPad by holding down the. Home and sleep buttons simultaneously until the screen turns black and the Apple Logo appears and then let go of the buttons?

yes, I changed tv remote settings to component as the cable has several wires. Always worked before. Now just get "no signal"....it's like there's no connection. Netflix works just fine on my iPad but it doesn't stream to tv.
The adapters for iPads can be unreliable and aren't terribly rugged. I would highly recommend purchasing a Chromecast or better still an AppleTV. If you're getting an HDCP error, that would likely be a bad or old HDMI cable. I would first suggest a new HDMI cable. If the issue still persists it could be your TV.
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?
Hi I am trying to access Netflix on my ipad but it dosen't recognise my email directly on the app but I can't seem to find a link through the Sky Go either? Are you able to watch and download Netflix through Sky?
The Netflix app on Windows/OXS/android/iOS etc. is supposed to permit a login using the same credentials as the app on Sky Q/Glass/Stream, and will give the access permitted by the relevant add-ons to the Sky subscription.
Having same issue. Have a Netflix offer through my Sky. However when I try to log on to Netflix through my iPad, it's wanting a payment method to re subscribe?
I have tried both the app and through the browser with no success. Is this a new thing? I used to watch through my iPad when I had Netflix through my Sky previously, before they changed the number of users allowed. Help!
In today's world, the joy of watching Netflix has evolved beyond solo binge-watching. Now, you can share these moments with others through FaceTime for the best virtual experience. Whether for a long-distance movie date, a family gathering, or a hangout with friends, you can make the most out of Netflix & FaceTime if you know exactly how to watch Netflix on FaceTime.
It's a No. You can't watch Netflix with friends on FaceTime because of its incompatibility with SharePlay. However, alternative methods exist to enjoy Netflix shows or movies with your friends on FaceTime.
Although you can't stream Netflix on FaceTime through SharePlay, watching movies or TV shows from other streaming platforms is possible. They offer a range of content, from blockbuster movies to engaging series, that you can enjoy with friends on FaceTime. These include Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Twitch, etc.
Screen sharing on FaceTime lets you broadcast your iPhone's screen to your friends, making it possible to view content from your Netflix app. This feature helps you collectively enjoy TV shows and movies, engage in real-time discussions, and create a virtual movie night experience, all directly from your iPhones."
