Is there a way to get movie count back on my Apple TV?

Is there a way I can get my movie count back on my Apple TV? I used to have a counter that showed all the movies I purchased in my library.

I know there is an issue with Apple and licensing and have also heard they took the counter away because they do not want the purchaser to know the movie they bought is no longer licensed by Apple.

So technically you are renting the movie instead of owning it.

I had a massive library and would love to see if in fact they have removed some movies from my library.

On computers (Mac or PC), the Apple TV app will list the totals for each view.

It helps for this to create a Smart Playlist with the rule to include media that has Purchased = true, with live updating, to have it all in one place, regardless of other media properties. Afterwards, you can give the playlist a logical name and add a description, so you won’t have to wonder in 6 months what this playlist is about.

Do you have a Apple TV and have you ever purchased a movie?

In the past when you went to movies it would show you the amount of movies you have purchased on the Apple TV... that has since been removed

I don't understand why your talking about playlists on the Mac or PC
