Incompatible Content error for Alien Romulus on Apple TV app with Samsung Q90R TV

Apple TV app on Samsung Q90R TV showing “Incompatible Content” for the film Alien Romulus.


All other films/tv I have purchased previous are working just fine on this TV without issue.


I have tried the usual, resetting the TV, resetting the app, signing out and back in and it still comes up with the same issue “Incompatible Content. To play this show , try using an Apple device”.


The film can be played on my iPad, and MacBook Pro, and iphone, but then cannot Airplay to the TV as it shows “The Video is in a format that cannot be streamed to this tv”


Any ideas on what might be the issue, and how to resolve.

I’m having the same problem. I can’t play the move “Night at the museum” on my LG TV with the AppleTV app. The error is “Incompatible Content. To play this show, try using an Apple device.”


Deleting and reinstalling the app had no effect. Unplugging and restarting the TV had no effect.


I am, however, able to AirPlay the movie from my iPad to the TV.
