Movie download in TV app stops with error -12938 as 23% continously

Hi,


I try to download a movie and continuously run into the same error over and over again for that one movie (Fast & Furious 8). Other movies worked fine, only that one keeps failing. I tried:

  • Over multiple days
  • After restart of Mac (MacBookPro18,1 latest version+updates 12.6)
  • Manually deleting the folder where the temporary download file is stored (incl. plist file)


It's always the same problem and always failing with error code -12938 and at 23% progress. Resuming the download does not help and as mentioned restarting it from scratch by clearing the temp files in '/Movies/TV/Media/Downloads-TV' also not.


Please fix.


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.6
