Rented a Movie how do I watch it on my xbox?

Hi again Archer Dell,

This what I found on this issue fromhttps://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/apps/buying-and-renting-videos-on-xbox-360

If your using Xbox movie app:

Note Unlike a movie that you buy, you must view a movie that you rent on the device you rented it for (for example, the Xbox 360 console, a computer, or a Windows Phone)

However I know Microsoft allowes you watch rented movies via a app called Movie Anywhere. If you purchase a movie on your account and if was produce by a movie studio they team up with>>>you can watch your rented movies there. I used this app in the past
and I had no problem watching my rented movies on there. Here more about ithttps://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/08/06/microsoft-movies-tv-now-supports-movies-anywhere/.

im having the same problem! its not letting me rent or buy movies. i select it and it says "renting" but then reverts back to "rent $5.99" all i want to do is watch movies :c

If you're planning on renting movies through Xbox Video, here is the explanation from the Xbox Support FAQ on how movie rentals work:

Renting movies

When you rent a movie through Xbox Video, it's available to you for 14 days. This 14-day countdown starts when you make the purchase. When you start playing the movie, another clock starts ticking: you have a 24-hour period of time during which you can watch
the movie as many times as you want.

Let's say you rent a movie at 3:00 P.M. on May 1. If you start watching the movie at 8:00 P.M. on May 5, your rental period expires at 8:00 P.M. on May 6.

Note Unlike a movie that you buy, a movie that you rent must be viewed on the device it was rented for (Xbox 360, computer, Windows Phone 7.

Hey there Tin! Are you saying you rented two movies and it won't allow you to watch the first movie you rented? Will it let you watch the second movie? What error does it give you when you try to watch the first movie?
