"stop watching on your other device" error playing a movie

Go to whatever main device you use, mine was my phone, go to your account and there should be a button that says Clear Play History. It doesn't delete anything just basically clears watch history and then the issue will be resolved!!

In case if the above doesn’t help, it didn’t for me.

I went on the “Movie ITunes” on my Apple TV, found the movie I rented on Apple TV, pressed play, then pressed “play from the beginning” and it worked.

provided Apple TV app is closed on the iPad.

when that happened to us, nothing worked. So i filed for a refund. And later on, I rented it again.

tried. not working.

1. tried clear history.
2. tried sign out of my ipad

none working.

i only ahve now 47 hours to finish downton abbey!!

😭😭😭

Same problem here. I logged out of all devices and i keep getting the same error message. I am now unable to watch my FAST N FURIOUS 9!! Any other suggestions?!

Thank you! This did the trick for me.

Thank You!!! It worked
