Create Apple TV Playlists Without Downloading

Apple TV app on Macbook Pro

Can Apple please disable this bug where your movies download automatically when you make a playlist? This may have worked 15 yrs ago when your movie library on iTunes was like 10 movies, but this bug is more than obsolete.

Please upgrade this to a feature request or a bug fix request.

MacBook Pro 16″, 13.2

That cannot happen here. This is a forum of end users who cannot fix this. If you wish to route this to the right people, I invite you to use this feedback link:

Hi Jaym_8,

I agree with moriah68: you didn’t read my original post. This isn’t a question regarding automatic downloads of purchases — which I have turned off — it’s about automatic downloads when you create a playlist. Turning off automatic downloads in the settings does not stop playlists from automatically downloading.

Hello kyrnois,

To turn off automatic downloads, open the Apple TV app then select TV up in the menu bar and choose Settings. In Settings go to the General tab, then uncheck the boxes under the Automatic Downloads section.

Change General settings in the Apple TV app on Mac

Cheers!
