DP movie won't play in Sidecar display in Big Sur

Post by Steve B »

I've been using my iPad as a Sidecar display to my MacBook Pro in Catalina, and putting the DP movie window, full-screen, on the iPad. This worked perfectly in DP10.1 and DP11.
This morning I upgraded to Big Sur 11.4 and then to 11.5 before starting DP, so I don't know if the following started with 11.5 or 11.4 (or earlier.) But now the DP movie won't play on the iPad, full-screen or otherwise. The movie soundtrack plays, but the picture doesn't advance. It plays fine on the main display. This is the same in DP 10.1 and DP11. And the movie also won't play using my Samsung TV as the second display.

Everything else works fine on the iPad, including playing a movie in QT player. It's just the DP movie window.

Can anyone confirm this?
