Hi there! I see you want to use AirPlay from the Movies Hub app on your iPhone to stream content to your LG TV. That’s a great way to enjoy your movies on a bigger screen.
To get us started, can you tell me if your LG TV supports AirPlay? Most modern LG TVs do, especially models from 2019 onward. Also, are both your iPhone (iOS 18.6 in your case) and LG TV connected to the same Wi-Fi network? This is important for AirPlay to work smoothly.
Assuming the TV supports AirPlay and both devices are on the same network, here’s how you can stream from Movies Hub using AirPlay:
1. Open the Movies Hub app on your iPhone and start playing the movie or show you want to watch. 2. Look for the AirPlay icon (a rectangle with an upward arrow) usually located in the video playback controls. Tap it. 3. Your LG TV should appear in the list of AirPlay devices. Select your TV. 4. If prompted, enter the AirPlay code shown on your LG TV screen on your iPhone to confirm the connection. 5. The movie should start playing on your LG TV.
If you don't see the AirPlay icon within the Movies Hub app, you can alternatively use iPhone’s screen mirroring feature: - Swipe down from the upper right corner of your iPhone to open the Control Center. - Tap “Screen Mirroring.” - Select your LG TV from the list. - Then go back to Movies Hub and play the content, which will mirror onto your TV.
If you have trouble with the connection or the TV doesn’t appear, we can troubleshoot that next.
Does your TV show up when you try to screen mirror or AirPlay?
Thanks for sharing that detail! Since AirPlay connects fine and the video plays correctly on Tubi but not on Movies Hub, it points toward an app-specific issue with Movies Hub rather than a network or device-wide problem.
Here’s a step-by-step approach to help fix this:
1. Restart the Movies Hub App: Close the app fully on your iPhone and reopen it. Sometimes a fresh start resolves temporary glitches.
2. Update the Movies Hub App: Make sure you have the latest version of Movies Hub installed from the App Store. Updates often fix bugs, including AirPlay compatibility issues.
3. Restart Your iPhone and LG TV: Powering both devices off and back on can clear minor software hiccups.
4. Try Screen Mirroring Instead of AirPlay Directly in the App: Since AirPlay via the app doesn’t show video but the connection works, try using iPhone’s "Screen Mirroring" from Control Center and then play the video in Movies Hub. This mirrors your entire screen and can bypass some app-specific AirPlay restrictions.
5. Check for DRM Restrictions: Some Movies Hub content might be protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) which can limit AirPlay streaming to certain devices or apps. Tubi may have fewer or different DRM limitations. If DRM is causing this, the video might not play on the TV but just on the iPhone screen.
6. Reinstall Movies Hub: If nothing else works, uninstall Movies Hub from your iPhone and reinstall it fresh. This can fix corrupted app data that might interfere with streaming.
If after all these, the video still does not show on your LG TV but works fine on the iPhone, it could be a DRM or app limitation issue that Movies Hub has with AirPlay on your specific TV model.
Would you like me to guide you through any of these steps in detail? Or do you already know which ones you’ve tried?

It connects but video does show on tv. Tubi works fine.
