We're using AVPlayerViewController on tvOS and intermittently get this icon. It's not our icon - it's from AVPlayerViewController. Does anyone know what state produces it?:

Is it the "Not allowed" icon, related to Settings -> General -> Restrictions -> Allowed Content? - user4151918
I don't understand why I'm getting it though. There are no restrictions on my AppleTV atm. Also, we're only playing two types of content and most play fine - tvOS shouldn't know anything about the content. - OdieO

It means your player item has an error and cannot be used. Check player.currentItem.error. Your app should observe the error property and present an alert and/or take other action.
