Xfinity Stream App Video Continues to Freeze-sound continues

I keep reporting this issue and it is never resolved. It's been ongoing for at least two years. Other users report this same issue and I see many such reports are closed out. But they were just closed, not resolved. I spent an hour and 15 minutes just now with Comcast. They claim this issue is only with me! And they are going to fix it in an hour and text me so I can verify they have fixed it. I don't know what else to do. The shows I record work fine on my PC and on my TV. But then on my iPad they may or may not work. Most of the time it is a Bravo show that operates without problem for about 10 minutes then the video freezes up and the sound continues. I also have one on my DVR now where the video continues without sound. Surely Comcast has enough information from the hundreds of reports of this issue that they can fix it. I end up using Peacock to watch the shows, and I have to pay for Peacock and watch ads! So maybe a solution is make Peacock Premium free until this is fixed?

I did respond but you didn't respond timely. I finally had time to sit at my computer for several hours and got the info provided by Airelle below. I suggested she post it to the community, which she has done. Issue still not resolved though.

We were able to find a temporary solution for this issue. The temporary solution is:

Selecting the “restart” playback option

Then fast forward to the spot you were at before.

As a temporary solution, we understand this is not convenient and hope to have this issue fully resolved soon.

Another frozen video-Southern Charm. Just recorded tonight and not yet available on Peacock so I can’t watch all of it. Stuck at a commercial for Chime. When will you fix this problem? I tried the supposed workaround and it did not work. I need at a minimum a credit for the month of January. You are not providing the services I am paying for. What will you do since you can’t seem to fix a problem that is going on 3 years now?
