iOS 18 Digital AV Adaptor Issues (Lightning to HDMI)

Since upgrading to iOS 18 my Apple Digital AV Adapter has started playing up from certain sources.


I can’t play any content from BBC iPlayer or Discovery+ (via the Amazon Video app) something I successfully did before iOS 18.


I can still play OK from Disney+, U, Blaze, and ITVx absolutely fine. I also receive secondary display warnings from Amazon Video, Channel 4 and Sky Sports all indicating they can see the external display.


BBC iPlayer now refuses to even start any content, either streamed or downloaded. It mirrors the iPhone screen but pressing play or selecting a download is just ignored. Discovery+ (via the Amazon Video app) just mirrors the iPhone screen and when content is selected the orientation changes and a placeholder screen appears with a spinning symbol. Nothing else. Removing the cable from the phone allows these apps to function again.


Any help appreciated though I suspect app issues rather than iOS or AV cable problems?


Regards

Contacted the BBC. Looks like I’ve been lucky up until now. 🙄
