Macbook Pro 2019, running AppleTV freezes during playback or exits content. Not a problem streaming movies I own... this is specifically content on Apple TV . Is there a troubleshooting methodology besides 'force quit and reboot'.l Apple TV worked great. Added Apple TV+ to stream new content. The AppleTV+ content does not play back without freezing or exiting content every 15 minutes or so, or sometimes earlier. Great network connectivity and can play owned movies without any problems. It is strictly Apple TV+ content that is affected. This is on Macbook Pro 2019. Has anyone else had this problem? TV v 1.2.2.40

Apple TV always stop while watching on MacBook Air M1 2020 While watching Apple TV movie on MacBook Air M1 2020, the movie always stops playing. I have never been able to finish any Apple TV movie on this Macbook. Usually the movies stop after more than 30 minutes streaming, today I try to watch, the movie stops playing after 2 minutes. The internet speed shows 40+ Mbps. I also try to download Apple TV movies several times, it never works every time. No progress shows after 9 or 11 percent downloading. Using same internet source/wifi, I try to watch Apple TV movies on my iPhone, nothing problem happen, I can fully watch all Apple TV movies (I don't try to download Apple TV movies on my iPhone yet since my iPhone memory is very low). So what should I do to fix this problem?

Streaming purchased movies on the iTunes TV app shut off after about 10-15 minutes. When streaming purchased content on the TV app on my MacBook Air M1 2020, the movie screen shuts down after about 10 minutes. Restarting sometimes fixes the problem. Downloading the movie seems to help as well. I don't want to have to download a movie every time I want to watch it. This has been an issue since I purchased this machine. For clarity, this isn't an Apple TV issue; it is the TV app on my MacBook. Please help.

Does it happen with all movies or some movies?

Does it happen with iTunes, QuickTime Player, or web players in Safari? Did you try the others?

Does it happen with AirPlay (switching content to the Apple TV) or while accessing Home Sharing (connecting to Computers [iTunes on the MBP] from the Apple TV)?
