Hey there, MzLegz.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Thanks for your post about being unable to start a specific movie from the Apple TV app. We'd be glad to see what we can do to help you out.


Does this movie start from the originally associated app? For example, if this specific title is originally on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, or another service, if you open the app for that service, does it play without issue? Also, is this specific to that single title, or do others also give you the same result? Be sure to check out some movie watching basics in Watch movies, TV shows, and live content in the Apple TV app.


Let us know what you find out.

Be well

Hello,

The movie is on the AppleTV app. I tried looking for it Friday and it didn’t show up. I just searched for it again and now it’s says rent or buy; or open with (BET), not sure if it plus or not but I have both. None of those were options before at all; couldn’t click anything but the trailer. It appears the issue has been resolved, obviously on the apps in.

Thanks for getting back with me!!
