Purchased movie not showing up in tv.apple.com

I just rented a movie (The Bob's Burgers Movie) in the Apple TV+ app using my phone.


I want to watch it from the browser on my (Lenovo) computer, but it does not show up at all when I search it in tv.apple.com.


I don't think I should be needing Apple hardware to have proper operation with such basic features (searching and watching a movie).


This is really disturbing. Help please.

Thanks. I downloaded iTunes and accessed the movie indeed.


The design is really confusing though. I purchased the movie from the Apple TV application on the phone, not iTunes. One would expect to access is also from Apple TV on web browser. There is no indication on such distinction between browser and phone application use (at least not that I can see at first sight).


A well-wasted 1 hr at the end of the day, instead of relaxing and watching a movie.
