Media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem

I’m new to the community and I gather this is an old problem, but I can’t find an answer. I have a Mac mini and am trying to access reruns of TV shows from the stations web site. When I select the show I want to watch I get “the media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support. Search engine is safari ,OS C Yosemite. The Mac is a couple of years old but hardly used.

Monterey Safari DRM still a no go. It truly boggles the mind one cannot play content from Apple TV on Safari 15.4 (17613.1.17.1.13) or thru the Apple TV app but no problem on firefox. It is quite frankly shameful. Last year I opened up a ticket with Apple Support (101573690547): the problem in addition to the one above, was I could not view my purchased iTunes movies from the Apple TV app on my 2019 4K iMac (NO external monitor) running Big Sur. Thirty seconds in, the video blacks out but audio remains. We tried everything with the CSR, even sending in a diagnostics report. Final suggestion from her was the next version of macOS would certainly fix it. Guess what, nothing in Monterey is fixed: I still can't watch Apple TV+ content off Safari or the app and still cannot view my movies. Posting this here in case someone has a new solution before I ring up AS. clearly this iMac's panel trips up HDCP/DRM.

Apple TV stops playing downloaded shows after MacOS 12.1 install After upgrading to MacOS 12.1, I was no longer able to play purchased TV shows through the TV app. It causes the TV app to crash (unresponsive). Note that I have stored the purchased TV shows on an external NAS drive. I have tried restarting, and restarting in safe mode, but the problem persists, and the TV app still crashes after all those attempts. I can see the content in the app library, and in the Finder. I am attempting to play the content through the TV app. When I do, I get the "beach ball" wait wheel, and Cmd Opt Esc shows TV app unresponsive. The TV app preferences/Files/Media Folder Location is set to the external drive. You all would know better than I would, but I wondered if this could be a bug— since the issue started when upgrading to MacOS 12.1, which introduced SharePlay— I wonder if there is a bug that now the TV app crashes when attempting to play content stored on an external drive… But Apple Support via chat said it could be an issue with the drive format. I will look into it. (at the same time, it worked with the same format before the upgrade to 12.1, so it just makes me curious). Any other thoughts on options to try before I have to delete multiple GBs of movies/TV shows, reformat my NAS, and reinstall the purchased shows?

TV+ episodes stop and crash the webpage I'm using Apple TV+ in Safari, not the app because the app can't be installed on my old MacBook Pro. Each time I watch an episode, it stops at 4 or 5 minutes from the end. Veeeery annoying because that's usually in the middle of the most intense part of the episode... Anyway, I then tried to: pause and let the episode load - but it's not an uploading issue go back a minute or 2 and restart the episode go forward a couple of minutes reload the page go back to the show splash page and relaunch from there reload from the show splash page The issue doesn't happen when watching from the TV+ app on another Apple laptop. Any idea what can be done to fix this?
