Apple TV+ So Difficult To Watch On My Samsung TV

My friend […] has other streaming services but Apple don’t work on her Samsung tv. Does it need to be a smart tv?

1. The Apple TV app is available on select Samsung smart TVs from 2018 or later. I believe it should be pre-installed on these models.
2. The Apple TV+ app is available on Samsung TVs from 2017 or later that did not get the formerly mentioned Apple TV app. Users may need to download this from Samsung’s on-device Appstore/Smart Hub.

As of June 2024 we still cannot get the Apple TV app to work on our Samsung TV We have Optic Fiber internet and have zero issues with apple on any of our other brands of TV.

Does anyone have a way to fix this issue?

My new Samsung TV running Apple TV app was previously working as expected but today won’t strwam video reliably. The first 40 seconds of episodes will play ( the intro sequences) but then it will stall and not play. Scrolling through the programme will display thumbnails but not play the video. This error is across all video/TV/movies.

Same here. Apple not able to help. Told to remove app and re-install. They couldn’t help with that. Samsung unable to help cause we have Cox Cable. Will try that call next!!! May have to cx Apple TV if we can’t get help???

I’m cancelling my subscription to Apple TV. I can’t even cast it from my iPhone or my iPad to my Samsung tv. Anything else casts perfectly-Apple TV - Nope!

Fix it Apple TV and I’ll start up again and you’ll get my $15 Cdn a month. Otherwise, you’re out of luck.

That's my problem as well. All my other apps are working fine, and I can watch Apple TV+ on my Samsung android tablet just fine but not on my Samsung TV. When trying to watch through the TV I get a choice of 'how to watch' , when I press this it tells me I have to sign up for this app. Driving me crazy!!!

Half way through silo and apple tv tells me my country is not supported (Scotland) I mean what the heck is going on with apple, this problem would not occur unless some boffin at apple hadn’t put it in the script.

I have the same problem constantly bit my Television is an LG and it’s very new … I have cancelled Apple TV because nothing I do makes it stop .. it does not happen with any other streaming service. There is so much fab content it’s a shame.

I deleted the application and now the TV system doesn't accept the new installation. I'm getting the "Try again later" message and a code, but I have found nothing about this code

Please tell use about that message regarding this code. Does it want a code? Does it give a code? Could it be related to two-factor authentication? Or perhaps does the code relate to a web interface for confirming something? Did you try creating a new Apple Account (not needed nor wanted if you already have one, especially if the Apple TV+ subscription is linked to an existing account).

Thank you, for your answer. I already have done all the above and more. I have chat with the Samsung support and I did anything they proposed. They finally concluded that the problem concerns the application and the Apple should provide a solution

apple tv requires sign on every time with my samsung tv. I’m fed up doing this. It works on my phone

Apple + tv downloaded for over one year and then suddenly stopped streaming on 6 year old Samsung smart tv.

It appears Samsung has blocked all Apple products from working. I can stream from a Samsung phone but not Apple. Samsung also blocked Peloton.

Did anyone solve this problem? I ditched the app because all of the sudden nothing in it would play on my Samsung smart tv. Tried all the fixes. Thanks.

It rarely EVER works on my Westinghouse Roku TV so I canceled it. I have no problems with all other streaming services.
