Error code -12167 when trying to download shows or movies on Apple TV+ (on Mac)

Every time I try to download anything on Apple TV+ it just fails, and gives me an error code of -12167. I can stream everything, with no problems, but just can't download anything. I'm on Ventura 13.5, if that helps.

Unexpected error using app TV Series I have the very latest version for Apple TV 4, just updated last night, and was hoping it solve this annoying issue. I used Ethernet connection, 1 gig fibre. A couple of weeks ago I could go to TV Series app, and was binging happily through House til last week the loading was spinning and showed something like an ‘unexpected error’ and goes back to collection of tv series. That error is hopeless, an error code would be better. There are a couple more that happens with but other tv series plays normally. The only way around this problem is to go to Store, Library, find House and play from there. Appreciate advice about this if you’ve encountered it yourself, thanks.

An unexpected error When trying to watch some TV shows that I have purchased on the TV app on Apple TV, when trying to get into the actual TV series, I am presented with an error "An unexpected error occurred." The TV is connected over Wifi. This only happens with some television shows, not all of them. But it is consistent; the ones that work continue to work, and the ones that do not will not open and get the error message. It is happening to TV series which I have previously watched without any issue. I have tried rebooting and even just did a full rest to factory specs. It is still happening. I see that someone posted this same question a few years ago, but there was never a real explanation of how to fix it. Can anyone help? Thank you.

This is happening to me as well.

It only started after an upgrade to MacOS Ventura (I'm on 13.5 as well).
