Xfinity Beta App For Samsung - Black Screen

Hello,

We have a new Samsung TV and have been using the Xfinity Beta App and when launching the app the screen just turns black. I have reinstalled the app and the same thing still happens, I have confirmed the TV has internet access.  Can someone recommend a fix?

Hi, @user_ebb904! I am sorry for the trouble with the app on your Samsung TV. We are happy to hear from you here! Have you checked to see if your TV has any updates? I recently had to update mine at home. You can check and if it does, retry the uninstall and reinstall once again.

@ComcastLinda FYI, it's not a TV specific thing.   Samsung said  it's your app.    TV reset to factory default, verified software version with them is the latest, app downloaded fresh - still black screen.   3 different Samsung TV  no longer working.

@RBKWA thank you for letting me know. It sounds like you have tried quite a bit of troubleshooting and have worked with us and Samsung to clear this up. I really appreciate the time and energy you have put into this and I know that can get tedious at times. AS long as your tv is a 2017 model or newer, it should work with the Beta version of our Xfintiy Stream app. Since you mentioned this is a new TV, lets go ahead and work through your account to fix this. I definitely want to be sure this is corrected so you can enjoy your new TV with Xfintiy content soon!

I have this same problem. No way to clear cache and factory reset isn’t doing anything to make stream beta app work. It’s been 6 days that I can’t get this work, and previously the app wasn’t consistent. Always got stuck and guides wouldn’t appear. Every time we tried to access the app from last time turning off tv we’d have to power cycle the remote to have tv start over processes completely. Except this past week app is just blacked out completely with no error messages. I have deleted app, removed app, reset smart hub, power cycled tv, factory reset tv, and nothing. So frustrating to pay for a service that does not work consistently or doesn’t work at all. If there are any ways to resolve this please advise. I have a Samsung series 6 smart tv with model MU in the name.

We are experiencing the same problem and no amount of power cycling / remove/ add is fixing the issue. We know the app is a beta version. Is this problem being addressed?

I have this issue also, sometimes shutting off my tv for a minute and turning it back on works, but not always. Now I’m also having an issue where the app completely freezes, it’s not my tv because I can hit my home button to get out of the app. It seems to be an xfinity issue on Samsung smart TVs, my non smart Samsung that I use a roku, I don’t have these issues with the app. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, unplugging my Ethernet cable and replugging it back in, logging out and back into my WiFi. It’s on xfinity side, not our tv’s.

@BellaCat1981- We recently came out with an update for our Xfinity Stream app, can you please check to see what firmware is currently installed? [edited to remove incorrect steps]

I'm experiencing the same issue with my new Samsung TV. The app worked fine for a few months and now I get an error message. I deleted and reinstalled the app without a successful result. Please help.

@user_brab As a followup to my previous post. After deleting the app twice and reinstalling twice, I was able to successfully install the app completely, log into the app and connect to my Xfinity account. I would still love to know if and when the app is going to come out of beta.

I am experiencing a similar issue on my LG smart tv. It is a 2020 model. 

When I launch the Xfinity Stream app, I get a black screen. The only way for me to get the screen to load is if I disconnect and re-connect the wifi connection.

@juliemoto, I love using the Stream app on my Samsung TV, so I can imagine how annoying that would be to do every time. I would love to help you more with this issue. Can you please create your own post on the appropriate topic board? This conversation is older and will be closed.
