Apple TV doesn't play downloaded videos

Yes, I just discovered this, this morning. ALL of my downloaded TV shows will not play on my Apple TV.

I deleted one episode and re-downloaded it ... that *did* play.

Apple must have updated their licensing data, forcing you to re-download everything.

Same issue with some movies, as well. I am moving back to streaming purchased TV shows, because Apple TV does a poor job of syncing watched vs. unwatched TV shows, which is why I was downloading in the first place.

Should read: ...but Apple TV does a poor job of syncing watched vs. unwatched TV shows, which is why I was downloading in the first place.

Which device is this on?

They don’t download onto an Apple TV set box
