AppleTV on LG webOS "Couldn't Load Video"

This is a strange problem. I have tried everything that I have found in Google searches on this issue.


If I play any AppleTV content, it briefly plays the Apple intro, then tries to load the stream. But this fails every time, and it shows the error "Couldn't Load Video / Check your internet connection then try again." What is strange, is this only happens when the Apple intro is played. If I play an episode that is already in the middle (so no intro sequence) it plays fine. Everything else works. As noted, I can play episodes that are already in progress. But I can't play anything from the beginning. To be clear, my internet connection is fine. I can play everything in my Apple TV library. Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Youtube, Youtube TV, Disney+, Max, and Peacock all work. LG channels work. It is just shows on Apple TV, that play the Apple TV intro sequence.


What I've tried:

  • Checked that the TV has the latest software
  • Restart TV
  • Delete & reinstall the Apple TV app
  • Unplug and plug in the TV
  • Restarted my Verizon FIOS router
  • Checked network settings on my router
  • Tried with IPV6 on then back off
  • Tested on wifi
  • Tested on wired ethernet


None of this makes a difference- all other streaming services continue to work, the Apple TV app fails.


This is a new LG TV from Costco:

Model 65QNED85TAA.BUSELKR

WebOS version: webOS24 / 9.1.0-46






Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17

Same here (LG 86QNED86T6A - WebOS 24)... Fast forward to Position 0:50 helps, but it's really annoying :-)

Looks like the Apple TV+ App for WebOS has some kind of a bug. Apple: please fix it!

Just sharing in case it helps others. I was consistently getting this error with my Sony TV/Firestick on shows that played the Apple original logo. I was able the same show on the AppleTV app on my iPad with the same wi-fi connection, and have no streaming issues with other apps. I checked that all software was up to date, logged in & out, and cleared cache.


What worked for me was in AppleTV Settings, there was an option to Limit Playback to SD which I toggled on. I did a test, and my internet speed is 320MB, so again don't think it's my connection. But as soon as I did that, the show played through without needing to fast forward.
