Movies & TV app crashes.

Hi,

The reason why Movies & TV apps may crash can be due to outdated application or corruptions. To better isolate your concern, we'd like to gather more information:

• Does this only happen when you try to open a movie and photo files?

Movies & TV app crashes.

It happens when I try to open Movies & TV app and also when I doubleclick on a movie file. When I doubleclick on a movie file it shows an error message "The app didn't start".

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the app (as I did with the Photos app which then worked), but this does not work with the Movies & TV app
