Q: iTunes 12.3.1.23 video playback not working

I recently updates to OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 and iTunes 12.3.1.23 on my MacBook. My iTunes will now play songs, but video playback for TV shows/movies I've purchased through the iTunes store is not working. The video player remains black, and there is no sound. The files have been downloaded to my MacBook, and are not playing through iCloud. Thoughts or suggestions?

I've tried closing iTunes and restarting the computer.

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), iTunes 12.3.1.23

For people to offer help you need to elaborate; what version of OS X, what version of hardware. Right now iTunes video playback is working as expected with no issues. On 10.10.5 with iTunes latest 12.3.2.35

I included this in the OP for this discussion stream. I am not willing at this point to do anything that will require that I reload any content. I use this computer to teach, and I don't have time at this point in the semester, and can't risk losing any materials/marking that I am working on. I don't believe I should have to spend hours fixing a problem accessing material that I PURCHASED, and that worked fine until I did this update. I was/am hoping for a solution that will be an easier fix.

If you reapply the full OS X installer for your version of the Operating System, none of your personal content will be disrupted, erased, or lost. The solutions very easy just download OS X installer from Apple`s Mac App Store

Updated a day ago and had the same problem as everyone else. Just on a hunch I checked for any new Apple updates and they had two, one for iTunes and one for Security. Applied both and it fixed my iTunes video play back issues.
