ANSWERED Fullscreen video when using an HDMI adapter on an iOS device

[CletusAZ 0]

Would it be possible to display fullscreen video when using apples lightning to HDMI adapter?

When using the adapter with YouTube and Netflix the video fills the screen.

When connected and used with emby, while video and audio will play it looks a screen mirror of the iPad rather than the method the YouTube and Netflix apps use.

I'd love this feature if possible.

Hi,

Am I doing something wrong? It just mirros my screen.
Apps like YouTube and Netflix stream in 1080p and your phone becomes kind of a remote while using the adapter. This doesn't happen with emby app.

Hi, what version of iOS?

I'm using iOS 9.3.6 on my iPhone 4s

Ok on iOS 11+ the experience will be better. But for iOS 9 & 10, at this point that's as far as we're going to take it, so yes it's only a screen mirror.
