Xfinity app DVR playback video pausing issue.

For the last week, I have noticed several of my DVR movies are having playback issues. It first started when I noticed a 3 to 5 second pause in audio, during video playback, especially after the start of the playback or if I tried to fast forward past commercials. In the last four days, I’ve noticed that it will just not play, but about 20 seconds of a video, buffer then crash. 
How can we fix this issue?

Good morning @user_651952 we would be happy to troubleshoot with you. When you access these recordings from the box, do you experience any playback issues?

No I do not. I travel a lot for work and notice only on the app. I have forced quit, reinstalled the app. Everything is up to date tried with and without LAN connectivity. And nothing fixed it.

@user_651952, have you noticed this only happening with older recordings? How have you most recent recordings behaved?
