Disney plus freezes on commercials

Apparently this is a common and Xfinity problem. I cannot watch an hour-long Disney Plus program, freezes during commercials and if I can finally exit out (it isn’t easy) and restart I am subjected to more ads and more freezing! Looks like this is something Xfinity needs to fix based on the number of complaints you have received. Ready to cancel my Disney Plus subscription and let them know this is on Xfinity. Time to switch to [Edited: Soliciting].

user_qdb8a2 Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us here on our Community Forum. We are sorry to hear about the issue you're having while watching Disney+. Are you noticing this using the app on X1, or are you using the Disney+ app?

I have the same problem, and there are other threads talking about Disney+ freezing going back a year. My husband has been on every forum, troubleshooting every “fix”, and nothing works. We have Firesticks for two other TVs and have no problem watching Disney+ on those. It’s incredibly frustrating to know this is an ongoing issue between Xfinity and Disney going on for a year now, and neither one is taking accountability for making a fix.

I am having the same issue - is there a firmware patch or something that can be applied?

Good Morning, @ayoungchef! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums. I am very sorry to hear about the experience with the Disney+. Are you experiencing the freezing on just Disney+ or is it other Apps using the X1 platform?
