Why is my Apple TV app stuck on library and I’m unable to access my movies and shows I try to get into my Apple TV app on my iPhone and it goes to a library screen where it doesn’t let me do anything

Can't select my Library in the new Apple TV Menu After TVOS updated to the latest, adding the swipe menu feature, I can no longer access any my purchases. When I select and click on "library" or "shop" the Apple TV just fails to respond. I'm currently left with pulling up a movie on my iPad and air playing it to my Apple TV to watch the content I've purchased. Frustrating as hell when this happens right at the holidays when everyone one wants to watch old movies or buy new ones.

Why are some purchased movies in my AppleTV library not playing on Apple TV? Some of the movies in my AppleTV library just show a black screen with no audio or errors when I try to play them. Other movies I bought from Apple continue to play as usual. There doesn't seem to be anything different about those movies. Some I bought at the same time will play while others bought at the same time won't. My Apple TV has the latest OS. I have rebooted. The AppleTV is connected by ethernet, so the problem is not wi-fi signal related. The only way I have found to play the movies is to exit my library and go to the "Search" function of the AppleTV app. When I find the movie, its info shows that I have already purchased it. I can play it from the search results, but not from its icon in my library. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Is this about the TV app on Mac, when trying to watch it on Mac?

What happens when you try to play such content? Do you get an error message? What does it say?
