If you want to stream from a Windows laptop or to a device that isn’t an Apple TV, you’re out of luck. If you have a Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, you’ll be happy with it. Even while fiddling with the playback controls on your iPhone’s screen, they wouldn’t appear on your TV - AirPlay is smart enough to stream only the content you want to see on the display.ĪirPlay works very well, but it has a big limitation - it only works with Apple devices. For example, you could play a video in an app on an iPhone and use the playback controls on your iPhone to control the video on your TV. It can use display mirroring to mirror the contents of a device’s display, or use a streaming mode that’s smarter. Using AirPlay, you can display the contents of your Mac’s desktop, start a video in an app on your iPhone and “push” it to your TV, or play a game on your iPad and mirror your display on your TV.Īpple’s AirPlay standard is flexible enough to work in two different ways. It allows you to stream video from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to an Apple TV. I hope this will help others who have a similar problem.AirPlay is Apple’s wireless display standard. Can switch modes, connect and disconect as much as I like with no problems. I found this out when I was able to try a Samsung that worked perfectly. It is very fusy about whether it will recieve from the MS display adapter or not.Įverything is good when it goes but you cannot change projection modes etc without it dropping of and then once that happens it is very difficult to get it displaying again. I have found my problem is the TV I use for my display, a cheap 32in Vivo that works great on HDMI cable. Having found a reset button on the adaptor has helped. It sometimes it takes a bit reseting and retrying to get it to start like at the moment, to the extent that I'm wondering if there is an intermitent hardware temperature related problem with the MS display adaptor. Once it starts it is good, all be it with a slight flicker/jerkiness when showing video on the TV. I can now get a projection but it is a bit of and on about when it wants to work.
#USE WIDI WINDOWS 10 DRIVERS#
The Intel update checking application didn't pick this one up, I found it when checking the drivers in device manager. Have found an update to the Intel(r) HD Graphics 5500 driver.

The MS display adaptor was not tried on win 8.1. Is there a fix for this or do I have to wait while MS, Intel, HP sort it out? All the display durring the update was on the notebook not the TV.Ĭan do all the right things on the TV with a HDMI cable.

The adaptor did accept an update to it via the WiDi which ran ok. So i'm ether not sending the correct data to the MS display adaptor or the adaptor is not translating it correctly. The TV is getting some sort of signal from the WiDi but its not a "screen'' as with no signal the TV is blue.
#USE WIDI WINDOWS 10 1080P#
The display adaptor brings up a ''ready to connect'' display at 1080P with black background.Īfter connecting, the notebook says it is ''connected to the MS display adaptor'' and the TV goes black.
