I've read through every response on just about every available resource there is on the subject of apple tv won´t play purchased movies. I've tried them all to no avail– until now.

Just had this issue with a Clients Apple TV.

Netflix, Youtube, And all Movie and TV Show previews operated quickly with out issue. Purchased Movies and TV Shows would not play and often get the buffering circle and time out with an Error loading content. After being on hold for some time I was trying many things on my own and found turning "OFF" the Quick start under settings>Apps>iTunes Movies and TV Shows>Turn Quick Start> "OFF"

Hope this saves some the frustration we was receiving. Support wanted to restore the Gen 4 apple TV or have us purchase another to see if it fixes the issue?
