Newly purchased movies not showing up Video app

Whenever I purchase a new movie, it takes several days for it to show up in my video library on my iPad Pro. Shows up immediately on my iPhone. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

iPad Pro, iOS 9.3

I also had this issue and tried all of the offered solutions. The thing that worked for me was to go to the iTunes Store, purchases and select one of the movies that didn’t show up in the videos app. The store will take you to the movie’s page and allow you to download or stream. Select the steaming option. The movies app will open and after a few seconds the movie will start. I skipped ahead a couple of minutes in the movie and went back to the previous screen. Then I selected movies and all of my purchased movies suddenly appeared.

Just chiming in here to say that I get this issue as well. Bought in iPhone, can't see them in videos app on iPhone. Checked iPad, can't see them on iPad. On iPad I signed out and then in from iCloud, issue solved! Signed out and in on iPhone, issue still there. If I search for movie on iTunes I can play and download from there. When I download and then remove the download from the videos app the movie goes away entirely and I have to search for it in the iTunes Store again to watch it.
