My HDMI cord for my iPhone isn't allowing me to play videos

I ordered a HDMI cord from eBay that said it would allow me to connect my iPhone to my TV. While it was able to connect, I wasn't able to play any videos. I'm able to play games (with sound), but not able to watch Netflix, my videos, etc. I haven't been able to look back at the buyer from eBay because they removed the product and I'm not sure what brand it is. I don't want to spend anymore money and don't know what else to do, please help me

Online services disable the HDMI out port in tablets and phones to prevent people watching on TVs

Remove the usb end of the charger cord from charger and insert it into the usb port of the tv.
with the tv remote go to media menu and choose movie.

Your cable is working fine, the problem is that Apple in it's infinite wisdom does not support HDCP copy protection. So any content that you stream over the cable that uses HDCP will not play.

HDCP is an indistry standard, Apple does not like industry standards!

  • Speakers sound blown out when I play my music on the Aux cord? So starting today I put my Aux cord into my iPhone 6 to connect to my Pontiac Torrent to play music, and the audio was absolute garbage! It sounded like my speakers were blown out, which scared me. But I went to my radio to see if it did the same and it was fine! I thought it was just the aux cord breaking, but I bought a new one after work and it didn't help at all. What is wrong with my auxiliary port?
