When I try to hide a movie in the TV app on my M1 MacBook Pro, it will disappear from my library temporarily on the Mac but will not disappear from my library on my other devices and does not show up in my list of hidden movies in account settings. If I log in and out of the TV app, the movies in question will reappear in my library. This has been happening now for several months. Is there a solution?
Hi jeriah212,
We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that hiding a movie on your MacBook Pro is not working as expected.
We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.
Are you using the same Apple ID across your devices?
Did you use the same steps in the article below?

If you answer yes to both questions, we recommend that you check if the issue persists while on safe mode.
Below is an article to help guide you through the process.

Thank you! I can affirm a “yes” to your first two questions. I then used safe mode, and found that the TV app functioned properly in safe mode. I haven’t yet tested whether it works out of safe mode. I believe Ventura will be arriving soon. Whether or not it is working outside safe mode, I think I’ll wait till I can test it in Ventura, and if it still isn’t working then I’ll update this response.
Thank you again for all your help!
