How to Play Movies on iPhone

• Hello, in the past weeks I have been unable to
  play (stream) my purchased movies and TV shows on
  my iPhone 6. It shows an error that says that I
  need to download the movie over WiFi when I press
  the play on the movie summary page. How can I fix
  this? Thanks.

• Playing movies on iPhone should be an easy issue.
  The purchased movies and TV shows are saved in
  iTunes library, and users are able to sync them
  to iPhone to have an enjoyment. If the users have
  purchased the movie directly on their iPhone,
  they will need to download the movies over Wi-Fi
  connection. Users need to go to iTunes on their
  iPhone, and toggle More gt Purchased gt Movies, and
  then tap Download beside the movie.

• So the user may have purchased the movie, but
  he/she hasnt downloaded it yet, that may be the
  reason why the phone doesnt playback the movie.
  If the users have purchased the movies in iTunes
  on their computer, they will need to sync the
  movies to their iPhone to have an enjoyment. If
  the users are new to iOS devices, they may have
  no ideas on how to get the movies onto iPhone.
  The following tutorial may be helpful
• Start iTunes and go to Edit gt Preferences gt
  Devices, and check Prevent iPods, iPhones and
  iPads from syncing automatically.
• Plug iPhone into computer via USB cable, and
  iTunes will launch automatically. If not, you
  should manually start it.
• iTunes will recognize your iPhone, and display
  the iPhone icon at the upper right corner. Click
  the iPhone icon and choose Movies in the
  summary panel.
• Check Sync Movies and choose the movies in the
  list below. Then iTunes will start to sync the
  movies to your iPhone.

• When the movies have been synced to iPhone, users
  are able to enjoy the movies with ease, and users
  dont have to download the movies again. So
  syncing movies to iPhone with iTunes is the
  easiest way for users to play movies on iPhone.
• Of course, many users dont want to use iTunes,
  because the sync function of iTunes will make
  users lose the non-purchased items. At this
  moment, a piece of iPhone transfer software will
  be helpful on this issue. People are able to
  various kinds of data transfer programs for iOS
  devices on the Internet, and among these
  programs, Leawo iTransfer is regarded as one of
  the best. This software is used for transferring
  files among iOS devices, iTunes and computers,
  and it helps users to get rid of the sync of
  iTunes. The following guidance will show you how
  to transfer videos to iPhone, and you are allowed
  to free download the software to have a try.

• Step 1 Run Leawo iTransfer
• Run Leawo iTransfer and connect iPhone to
  computer with the USB cable. The software will
  automatically detect the libraries of your iPhone
  and display the libraries in the left sidebar.

• Choose Movies in the left sidebar, and the
  contents will show up in the right part. If your
  iPhone movie library is empty, you will see an
  Add Files button in the main window. Click the

  click File gt Add gt Add File/Add Folder at the
  upper right corner to add movies.
