When I try to watch ultraviolet movies on iPad ( on Flixster) and then send to my tv via airplay / mirroring, the end result is a smaller picture within the screen.

...it is the same 16:9 picture as the screen size, but strangely does not fill the screen...with borders on all sides...


Anyone have any idea how to fix this....or why it happens.?

Thanks

are you airplaing natively within the app, or mirroring the ipad? mirroring wont get a fullscreen

does your iPad have mirroring turned ON as above. if yes you are mirroring via airplay, which is different than native airplay. if mirroring is on, the ATV is simply mirroring whatever is displayed on your iPad screen. when mirroring is off, certain apps have the capability built in and will send a stream to your ATV, and it will be optimized for viewing on a tv

Flixster problem...

Flixster 'used to' send via mirroring as opposed to directly via airplay....however now this no longer works as it comes up with an error message licences Etc...

Shame as this used to work before ( albeit in a mallee screen size).

..are there any workarounds, or other programs that will allow me to view ultraviolet movies on my TV/projector ?

Thanks
