Movies stop playing while downloading

This is getting very bad - I bought this in the hopes that I could just click and rent.
I have an extremely high speed 50mbps Fibre Optic connection, and if I rent even a non HD movie on the atv2, it stops after 10 mins and doesn't resume.
I then have to press menu and press play. It starts instantly then. This only works for about 10 times, and then I cant resume at all.
Anyone with advice? Of course I have tried rebooting the device, restarting my Router etc. By the way my atv2 has ethernet cable directly to the router.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem, I had to uninstall and then re-install itunes because it kept messing up on me and when I reinstalled it, my digital movies stopped working. All my songs work fine and my movies are still stored in the library, but they won't open. I just get a black screen with no sound and it doesn't play.
Does anyone have an answer to this? I'm new to this site and tried to create a new thread asking about this but can't seem to find a button/link on these forum pages to let me do that.

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

  • Music stops playing while using safari

    has anyone else had this problem? My music will periodically stop playing while surfing the web with safari. This usually happens right after I have zoomed in on the screen.

    it happened to me also... think that the problem is somekind of the used system of the itouch s.o. so.. if you're downloading a non mobil supported website... or a highly rate website may stops the music in order to continue downloading.
    so.. perhaps on an update may fix that safari and music performance.

  • Downloaded movie stops playing in iTunes after 4 seconds

    Purchased and downloaded an HD movie from iTunes.
    After taking about an hour to download the movie, pressing play starts the film then it stops after 4 seconds.  Subsequent pressing of play does nothing.  ahve to close itunes and restart to get it to play another 5 seconds, then it stops again.
    Tried to play this fullscreen, windowed, same thing.  Doesn't work.
    Immediately reminded why I don't use iTunes for anything.  You'd think with 16 mandated updates per day they would have gotten this program working in the last 10 years.
    Mac Pro 8 Core
    OSX 10.8.5
    Itunes 11.2.2 64 bit
    Would be nice if ONE time I did something with an apple product it didn't require tech support.

    Trashed the video file and redownloaded.
    Exact same thing.  Doesn't play for more than a couple seconds. 
    Infuriating, and zero responses yet.  Is there a point to posting on here when 99% of the questions I see are unsolved or completely ignored?

  • HT1657 Rented movie stops playing saying "unable to download"

    Rented "Dallas Buyers Club" and it stopped playing with 20 minutes left to go! "Unable to play" pops up on the screen. Tried to stop & go back to the same time but same thing happened 4 times. How do I get store credit?

    Check speedtest.net to see if connection is adequete.
    Check istumbler or net netstumbler to verify any network interference
    Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • HT1657 Why does my rented movie stop playing randomly throughout the playback?

    Why does my rented movie stop throughout the viewing period? This is so irritating while trying to watch I have to keep pressing the play icon to get it to play at all! Anyone have any info on why this is happening on my IPAD2?

    Hi fiercestorm,
    It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -

  • How do I get my movies to play while loading like the QT  trailers do?

    I have tried several different things in iMovie and iWeb, and I can not find anything on it. When I put a movie on my site, the viewer sees a Q for Quicktime, until the movie is fully loaded. How can I make it so it plays while loading, the way the Quicktime Trailers do. they way they don't have to wait so long to see it.

    Check out iSquint...

  • HT204370 Rented movie stopped playing

    I was watching a rented movie thru Apple TV and it stopped playing with a message that Apple TV was not connected to the internet. I check everything and it is fine. How can I restart a partially watched rented movie? All I can find is the option to rent it again.

    Yes you'll get charged.
    If you're in US you have 30 days to START watching but once you do you have 24 hours to watch - too short IMO.
    In UK you have 48 hours to watch after choosing play.
    Poor experience regardless - raise a query ticket via itunes store support or through your itunes account pages.

  • Unknown error (-50) rental movie stopped playing

    I downloaded a rental film off iTunes and initially it played fine. Although after around 10 minutes it stopped playing and then would not play at all. A message showed that said 'unknown error (-50) please check you are still connected to the network'. I'm still within the first 48 hours of downloading it.
    Can anyone help? Any suggestions would be useful?!

  • Movies stop playing in iTunes

    My movies have recently stopped playing in iTunes. After playing a few minutes they start stuttering and stop playing. I've repaired permissions, zapped the pram, didn't help. Anyone else seen this?

  • HT1657 Rented movie. Movie started. Movie stopped. Cant download rest of the movie. Yes, I have working internet

    Rented Movie. Movie Started. Movie stopped. Can't download rest...

    Same problem here. I am from Brazil. Started to watch Gravity, then stopped last 18 minutes to finish. Sign out my iTunes account, sign in back and...they ask me for a new rental to watch! What? But in the bottom side they say my rental is valid within 48 hours.

  • Movie Stopped Playing after about half an hour

    Hi everyone!
    I recently burnt an iDVD movie that I had made in iMovie and then played it on my DVD player. Everything was working fine and I had skipped a couple of chapters... after watching for around half an hour the video and audio stopped playing... I also tried it on another DVD player, it did the same thing but straight away. Could it have been something wrong with the burning or is it the DVD or the DVD players? The DVD I used was a TDK DVD-R.
    Thanks

    Hi Jia,
    The media refers to your brand of discs. Try a different brand of discs. Verbatim is the most commonly recommended brand, although Sony, Panasonic and TDK have good success rates too, although sometimes even the highest recommended discs fail.
    Also, don't use iDVD to burn a disc. Go to the file menu in iDVD and save it as a disc image. Then you can use Toast or the disc utility to burn the disc image at a slow speed - 1x or 2x. The slower the speed, the better the burn.
