"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.

RESTARTING THE REMOTE worked for me.


Hold down the TV button and volume down for 6 seconds. The "content loading" problem started the same time my remote stopped controlling the volume of my soundbar for no good reason. Restarting the remote solved both problems.

Similar situation with me with Apple TV 4K. All apps will play content except not the Apple TV+ shows. After selecting something to play There's a problem loading content box comes on screen. TV based Apple TV app will play, but I should be able to watch through the actual Apple TV 4K. Restarting things does not appear to have helped. Apple seems to have an issue that needs investigation. Thanks.

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.

I've been having the same error for a few months now. I also have a few other issues. I have a rather large library of movies and TV shows, most of it purchased on iTunes. I also ripped a DVD collection I have, for my own personal use. It's a bit more than annoying when stuff like this happens, it should just work, or throw up a message to say what's up. The other issues:

  • There are many blank areas where a movie I purchased should display on the Mac TVapp.
  • Much of the content I have purchased over the past year cannot be played on my MacBook or AppleTV. This string talks about the AppleTV. On the MacBook Pro, I select play and a window pops up for less than a second, then goes away. No error noted, nothing saying there is something wrong, just doesn't play.

Please help Apple!
