Movies Not Playing on Mac Apple TV app

Ok I have downloaded tons of movies from my Apple TV app on my Mac. All the movies with the HSL file type will not play under all circumstances on wifi or not downloaded or streaming. The techs at Apple are baffled. The last thing to do is to delete and reinstall the app. There has to be another way… help please…
