That may be a sign that the internet connection isn’t working for the Apple TV app, i.e. no response from the remote server.

Can you stream from other apps on that same device?

thanks for getting with me about this. I had the same problem with other apps. I could call up any of the apps, but when I selected a show and hit play, I got the spinning dandelion. It just continued to buffer forever.

After many hours of internet searching, I finally tried rebooting the firetvstick itself. I had no idea this was even a thing, but it worked.
