“How should I do? I just got a smart TV, and when I tried to transfer iTunes movies to it via a USB flash drive, it kept popping up error messages saying that the file could not be played.”

"I'm troubled. I want to play 'Avengers: Endgame' purchased from iTunes on LG Smart TV. Is there any way to stream iTunes movies directly to Smart TV?"

“I want to watch movies purchased from iTunes with my family on a big screen Samsung Smart TV, but it doesn't seem to do it.”

The above errors often happen to us. Watching TV is the most comfortable way to relax at home, especially watching movies with your family on a widescreen HD smart TV. At present, there are many brands of high-definition smart TVs, including Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Sony Smart TV, Panasonic Smart TV, Philips Smart TV and so on. There are many different movie applications are available on smart TVs, such as Netflix, Youtube, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Cinemaw and more. You can use these apps to enjoy your favorite movies.

Apple's DRM prevents iTunes videos from playing on non-Apple devices

However, nothing changes when you try to transfer iTunes videos to a smart TV other than Apple devices for playback. This is because any videos, movies, and TV shows we purchase from the iTunes Store are protected by Apple's FairPlay DRM technology. This restriction states that we can only watch our paid videos in one of several ways: through the iTunes app, iOS devices, or Apple TV. When it comes to playing iTunes videos on any smart TV, removing DRM protection from iTunes media files is necessary.
