Error message something went wrong

Whenever I try to watch anything on Paramount + the program (any and all programs) stop after a few minutes with this error message : Error Something went wrong. Please try again later. I click the OK button and try again. I continue the program and a few minutes later the same message pops up. This happens repeatedly. This has been going on for several days. Is this a known problem that will be resolved soon? 


This problem only occurs on Paramount +, all other streaming apps work fine.

I watch Paramount + through Xfinity on my TV.
I reset the app - no change

I restarted the  TV, the Xfinity box , and the router - no change

Hello @user_0g1634 and thank you for posting on our Xfinity Forum community! It's unfortunate that you're not able to experience watching Paramount+ without errors. It is our hope we can help you resolve this issue! You have done some great troubleshooting!

 

You might have the best results by clearing your locally stored data — this often works even better than restarting the device when you’re seeing app-specific “Something Went Wrong” errors.
Here’s how to do that:
Settings (gear icon) → Privacy → Clear Cookies and Local Storage
Just a quick heads-up: clearing this data may sign you out of some apps, so be sure you know your login information before moving forward.
Once you’ve cleared everything, go ahead and try launching your app again and let me know how it goes.

 

Please let us know if these steps help.

Hi Melinda,

Thank you for responding. I tried doing as you suggested and it did nothing to fix the problem.  I needed to login again to all my apps and reset my preferences once I did it. Is this situation unique to me? Is this a problem affecting other customers? I really would like to be able to use the app again.

user_0g1634 I'm not seeing this being a known issue we are aware of affecting multiple customers currently. Let's see if we can help with a refresh on our end. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" If necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person".

Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

We are having the same issue - watching a show on Paramount+for a few minutes, then the stream stopping as if for buffering, but the processing wheel spins for about a minute then the screen returns the "Error  Something went wrong.  Please try again later" message.  If we then try to access the same episode again the same thing happens again, though even more quickly than the first time.  We are having this problem for all of the shows we are trying to watch on Paramount+. 

The problem started about 2 weeks ago.  The issue is intermittant, some nights no problem, other nights cannot watch anything on Paramount+ without this happening.  This is only a problem for Paramount+, other streaming apps we have through Xfinity (Netflix, Hulu, Starz, HBO, Acorn) are operating with no problems.  Would this have anything to do with traffic on Paramount+?  This problem is most acute in the early evening, when presumably usage would be at its highest.  But we have seen this issue in mid-day and after 11 at night, so not sure what the deal is.

Hello,

The issue is with Paramount + not Peacock. I had a very nice employee work with me over the phone for nearly an hour. She was able to boost the signal or something while we talked. It worked better while we were talking. The same problem is back now. I was sent a different cable box that has limited dvr capabilities to replace my current box. I don’t want less service. I will be returning the new box.
