Crash logs are hard to read for me too. It shouldn’t happen: apps should notify the user gracefully if they can’t do something they’re instructed to do. This issue here is deeper in the system, probably not related to your purchases.
Try these general Mac troubleshooting steps separately:
Then try playing the movie again.
While not fixes per se, these steps will narrow down where the problem lies. And that will guide the next step, on what to reset, delete, etc.
Please let us know the result of these.

perhaps this problem is occuring because of the movie itself as it is an asian movie.
The origin shouldn’t matter; it still should play normally. The iTunes Store requires that movie producers work with approved ‘Encoding Houses’, to make sure all movies conform to the applicable compatibility standards. Please contact the iTunes Store staff about issues with specific titles.
Hello Urquhart1244
Well, when I tried to play the movie, the apps (AppleTV) was quit unexpextedly. And then, I get a full list of problem details and system configuration with some written "crashed threat" which of course, none of those make sense to me as I am not a programmer or tech person.
Well, so far, it happened to 2 of the movie that I purchased. Unsure with the others because I haven't try those yet.
Hello again,
Well, I had tried the safe mode; the apps do not quit unexpectedly but the movie will not play (2 movies).
To make sure this problem does not occurs due to the apps, so I verified all the movie that I had purchased. And it seems that all are fine and ready to be watch. So if I'm not mistaken, perhaps this problem is occuring because of the movie itself as it is an asian movie. The others that I purchased were either European or American movies.
Anyway, thank you very much for the advice, informations and time on helping me.
Have a very good day
Cheers always
What happens when you try to play this movie? Do you get an error message? What does it say?
Does it happen for every (purchased) movie?
I think that you are right. Thank you again for the information. I will contact the iTune Store staff regarding this matter.
Hello again,
I had contacted the iTunes Store staff and they had provided me a solution - create a new user login and it works . thank you very much with your help.
Thanks for the follow-up. I’m glad that you have a solution now.
