iTunes Extras do not play

Hi there.


I have recently discovered that all of a sudden iTunes Extras will not start playing on any of my devices. It stays stuck on black screen with note that it is live broadcast underneath the panel buttons.


I am using iTunes on Windows. Have the latest version of iTunes and Windows as well. I also tried it on my other authorized devices and it just do not start playing. Unfortunately, I do not have an option to try it on any Apple device. Just latest version of iTunes as mentioned above.


Also tried uninstall iTunes and install it again. Did not work either.


Any help and tips are appreciated.


Thank you!

Some EXTRA material will work on PC and some won't.

Apple wants you to buy Apple TV hardware, then all EXTRA material will work.

It's all really deceiving and a greedy way to force/trick consumers into becoming more of an Apple customer and only commit to Apple.

For big companies like Apple, it's all about business and therefore it should be the same for consumers never love, favorite, or have loyalty to a big brand.
