Fixing HIDIVE spinning loading on Apple TV

Posted on by

On my Apple TV 4K, when I play a show on HIDIVE, it shows Loading and then a circular spinner and then… it just spins forever.

Thanks to Reddit for this fix: while the spinner is spinning, press pause and then play again on the remote, and it will play fine.

HIDIVE really needs to fix this playback bug.
