My TV shows which I've purchased from ITunes have now stopped playing. They were fine yesterday. When I select the show to play, it looks like its loading but then reverts back to the first screen? We only bought the Apple TV about 2 months ago. Can anyone help?
AppleTV 2, iOS 6
Have the same problem. Downgraded my Apple TV to v5.3 and everything plays...So looks like an update issue.
I have the same issues. After starting a movie and stopping it, I can not re-start it or find it at the downloads (because re-purchasing does also not work within the rental time). This is an update issue. When is this fixed?
I'm trying to downgrade to v5.3, could you tell me how you did it? Thank you!
Thanks for your advice. How to you downgrade on the Apple TV, do you have to reset (ie under Settings)?
I have been having the exact same problem, and I am outside of the United States but my iTunes account is from the United States.
I have never had problems streaming purchased movies, shows, or music before.
Now I can see all that has been purchased and even select them. However, when a movie or show is played, it shows the spinning wheel for a couple seconds and reverts back to the movie/show details screen. When music is attempted to be played, a "content not found" error occurs when a song is selected.
Interestingly, movie previews can still be watched just fine.
Also, if I restore or reset the Apple TV I can immediately watch one move or show video, but the second time this is attempted it reverts back to the original error.
This means that I have to spend 4 minutes resetting the Apple TV just to watch something.
Apple support was not able to resolve this.
Netflix and other apps work just fine.
