Furiosa not playing on TV or ps5

I am having an odd issue and didn't know where to post this so I am posting here. Moderators, feel free to move to another area.

OK, so, I purchased the furiosa movie from Google as I had tons of Google rewards money. Purchased it, shows up on YouTube and the Google TV app on my devices and plays fine on tablets and phones. It does, however, not play on my LG TV webos YouTube app nor on my ps5 via YouTube app. I see it and hit play but nothing happens. Just a blank screen. All my other purchased movies play fine. It's just furious. Any clues? I already submitted this to Google to try and get a refund but it's still being reviewed. I'm in the US.

Is your TV connected to your network differently than other devices? Can you mirror it from a tablet to the TV?

All on the same network. Wired and wireless. I can mirror from phone and tablet but I want to play at 4K as that is what I bought. It's really weird as it's only the TV app or the ps5 app. All other devices it works fine and it's only that one movie.

I actually stopped buying/renting things from Google/YouTube because so few apps can actually play the item in HD (wouldn't play HD in Firefox or Chrome or the YouTube app on Xfinity's flex box), and they don't note this up front - it's all buried in the help pages.

Update. Got my $ refunded from Google and got the movie from prime.

Incidents like this remind me that these digital licenses can change at the drop of a hat, and if I want to "own" something, I'm better off buying a Blu-Ray and archiving it on my HTPC.

Did you check the movie info on what playback devices it will work with?

A lot of times they restrict what works with them to make it harder to pirate them or only allow certain devices to support HD for this reason also.

I did. All my devices were listed.
