Apple TV app suddenly stopping after a few minutes on Samsung Smart TV

I purchased a rental movie and it was playing well for about 20 minutes. Then it suddenly stopped and the screen goes black. All other streaming apps are working well. I have reset the TV, reinstalled the apple app and it keeps doing the same thing with every show I try to watch.

Please somebody help

As a rental is available for 48 hours once playback has started, time is of the essence. Please try contacting the Apple Support staff. Do ask about refund options if you can’t get it to work in time, relating to your current difficulty.


Else: If the Apple TV app misbehaves on your Samsung smart TV, then consider these troubleshooting steps from Samsung Support:

  1. Cold reboot the TV,
  2. Update the TV system software, if available,
  3. Delete and reinstall the misbehaving app (if deletion is supported for that app),
  4. Reset the ‘Smart Hub’ (like a factory reset for the apps part of the TV). Home﹥Settings﹥Support﹥Self Diagnosis﹥Reset Smart Hub
