Airplaying downloaded shows

Why can’t i Airplay downloaded shows from Netflix or Amazon Prime on my Apple TV ?!

You can’t download the shows on your Apple TV so what are you supposed to do when the Internet goes down (I live in South Africa for context, it happens … alot).

Can you access movie festivals websites directly through Apple TV? With the Covid pandemic, my favorite movie festival will show its movies online. i was wondering if there was any direct browsing capacity for Apple TV, or if I must go through airplay and keep my computer on? thank you.

Netflix and airplay I’ve been trying to get Netflix to airplay from my iPad to my Apple TV and for some reason it won’t register that my Apple TV is on. I tried with other streaming services and I can get them to airplay from my iPad but not Netflix.

Apple TV airplay playing trailers but not shows/movies We can play trailers through our Apple TV via airplay but always get a ‘content could not be loaded’ when trying to play the actual movies or shows. We have been through all of the trouble shooting - same wifi, software updates, reboots, turned off subtitles, etc etc. The fact that we can play trailers suggest it is connected but odd cannot do anything more. Have even downloaded content before playing and that hasn’t helped. Any suggestions welcome pls!

Netflix stopped supporting AirPlay in Spring 2019. That was their decision, as any content provider may choose to do so.
For Prime Video, at present, the playback of downloaded content over AirPlay (or Chromecast) isn’t permitted. That is their decision.
