Unable to play purchased movie on Apple TV

Hi! I purchased a movie on my iPhone in the Apple TV app, but when I open the Apple TV app on my TV, it appears in my library but only shows as being in the “Up Next” list — I can’t play it. How can I fix this issue?

Adding titles to Up Next/​Continue Watching/​your Watchlist doesn’t require a purchase, but it won’t be watchable until the purchase is completed. So please verify that. View your purchase history for the App Store and other Apple media services - Apple Support

Also, is it playable on iPhone?


What happens when you select the title to play on your TV? Do you get an error message? What does it say?
