I bought DRM-free TV episodes from Google Play (IIRC). Everything was great until codecs got updated a couple of years later and the videos were suddenly jerky to the point of unwatchability.

Even when I own it, there's no guarantee I get to keep it.

You can probably play it properly on a PC using something like VLC (A pretty powerful video player)

VLC is also available on android, do that might be worth a try!

Including Android TV.

Or transcode it to support your current video player via handbrake
