Onboard - syncing app playlist and ICE

Currently onboard EK768 bound for DXB and trying to get my iPhone 'talk' to ICE. I have a playlist created in the EK app - how do I get this to display on the onboard ICE?

Connected to wifi with a decent speed on the B777. However, playlist on app tells me it's in 'offline mode'.

Any quick ideas or quick fix?

BTW - Purser told me that it's basically 'plug and play' and that one can even save a favourite seat setting in the app when connected??? Really???

Me either. Spent hours working on it, checked with multiple staff, never got anything to work.

Apparently, it is only available on B777s - and not all of them. Tried it on two flights in May, couldn't get it to work. Also noticed that the ICE playlist on the EK app and the one one onboard didn't match.

But you fly 77W's mostly. Anyone have it work on the A380?

What we really need is a chrome (or firefox, because chrome is now passé) extension that looks up the Rotten Tomatoes score for each item on ICE. Their API is pretty locked down though.

Is it just the newer ones with the latest ICE or random? Shame it's not on the A380s

Saw a reference on the ICE guide on my last flight - can't remember what it said exactly. Presume it is not on the oldest ones.

My guess would late A6-EN* forward (EN, EP, EQ), maybe the ones with the interactive airshow.
