"There’s a problem loading this content" error while watching 'Across the Spider Verse' on Apple TV

Purchased Across the Spider Verse through Apple TV, have watched it several times on various devices, and now today, only the movie comes up with this error message. I’m able to watch all other purchases, including the Special Features on Spider Verse. This message only comes up when I try to play the movie.


I’ve searched for solutions and tried all the suggested workarounds and nothing is working.

I am having the same error. After you push “PLAY” on the movie’s menu screen, you get “There’s a problem loading this content.” And and “OK” button which brings you back to the movie’s menu screen. Tough to spend $20 to own a movie on digital and encounter such a hassle!

Last night, after continuing to just get the "There's a problem..." notice on every show I tried to watch on Apple TV+ through the Apple TV app on my Apple TV 4K device, I turned the TV and the Apple TV 4K off for a minute and turned it back on. I waited until this morning to try it again. It is now able to load content (shows) again. But the additional separate reported problem of my Sony TV remote no longer being able to control my Apple TV 4K device is continuing since the latest tvOS update (17.4). (See the many separate discussions on that). (And though the Apple TV remote will work, you must "click" on a button on the remote each time the Apple TV 4K starts to "enable" to the remote again and then the touch pad will work.) (And the Apple TV 4K is slower to wake up after you select that input to play, so you get a no input screen for a couple seconds.) These things should not happen.

I am having this problem, too. Wanted to watch content available on “Filmwise” app so I installed it on Apple TV but no content from this app loads. I deleted the Apple TV app and reinstalled it but I am still unable to load content. Very frustrating.i am trying to watch this content on the latest iPad Pro.

Had the same issue.

Disabling IPv6 (which you can do in System Setting/Network on the Mac, but must do at router level for the Apple TV, and probably on other devices such as smart TVs) solved it.

Connecting through a VPN (which happened to prioritize IPv4 over IPv6) or connecting to my neighbors' WIFI (with their agreement, their network is IPv4 only) also solved it.


Apple system status page says everything is OK, on Apple - Support - System Status

Please send feedback to Apple on Product Feedback - Apple so they get aware of the problem.
