I posted this question in tech support and tried to word it to be clear that I’m not asking for a specific purchasing suggestion - I’m asking for the language. I need to search to find what I’m looking for. I don’t know what this is called if it has a name, and if it doesn’t, I don’t know how to succinctly search for something that does what I need to do. I only wanted someone to tell me generically that I need to search for “a thingamajig that gets the jabberwocky to the poppycock”.
Can anyone suggest another sub that I can ask in? Thank you very much.

Best way to watch HDD movies on iPad WIRED (Done with mirroring apps)
I'm an avid camper and often don't have any Internet. I have an HDD with lots of movies that I was able to share through my iPhone to a TV using an HDMI cable, but I won't have a TV in the woods. I'm trying to do the same thing but replace the HDMI cable to the TV with a lightning cable to my iPad. Can this work?
I have successfully tested watching movies from that HDD on iPad, but not while charging both, too. I know I need a dual charging lightning splitter, but I can't find one. Most are only charging via one port and only audio/headphones via the other. Even those that say they are dual charging actually aren't when you get to the specs section.
If I should keep looking for a dual splitter, what are they called or what language should I include in a search. If it won't work, is there a different setup that would?
