I keep getting kicked out from the Xfinity Streaming app on my Apple TV 4K

Hello,

I have the latest Apple TV - 4K streaming box from Apple, and I have it connected to my Xfinity Wifi.  I am able to download the Xfinity Streaming app, but after I enter the activation code, on the www.xfinity.com/authorize page, it logs me in for 1 second and then kicks me out.  I should add that I am running the latest and greatest tvOS software on my Apple TV Box. 

I have done the following:

1) Restarted my modem

2) Restarted Apple TV

3 Deleted the app and reloaded it

I think this is an issue with the Infinity Streaming app not being compatible with Apple TV, which is unacceptable!!

I found the problem to this.  The latest Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) is not compatible with the latest version of the Xfinity Steaming app.

(From the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/stream-on-apple-tv-overview)

SUPPORTED APPLE TV DEVICES

The Xfinity Stream app works on any Apple TV device that supports tvOS version 15 or later, including:

  • Apple TV 4K (2021) <---- the latest Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) is from 2022 onwards (see below)
  • Apple TV 4K (2017)
  • Apple TV HD (2015)

(From the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TV)

4K (third generation)

On October 18, 2022, Apple announced an updated Apple TV 4K with the A15 Bionic chip with a 5-core CPU (one high efficiency core disabled) and 5-core GPU, reduced weight and dimensions, and support for HDR10+. It comes in two configurations, a Wi-Fi-only model with 64 GB of storage, and a more expensive 128 GB model with Wi-Fi, Ethernet and a Thread radio. The included Siri Remote charges via USB-C instead of Lightning.[52]

This doesn’t help me. The Apple TV app crashed when using the Apple TV 4K and needs to get fixed. It’s as simple as that

We are glad to help in any way that we can @user_95dm71.  Can you confirm that you are using the most up to date version of the app on the device you are streaming on?

I need to know. Does the latest Xfinity Streaming App (version 1.7.0) work with the latest Apple TV 4K (3rd generation)?

It's a simple question. Please DO NOT tell me to restart my modem, or my Apple TC. These are NOT going to help. This is a software development question.

@user_95dm71 yes your Apple device does seem to be compatible with Xfinity Stream. It's compatible with any Apple TV device that supports tvOS version 15 or later. You can confirm this answer and more information using the following article. We continue to make Xfinity Stream compatible with as many devices as possible, so we can provide the best possible streaming experience for all our customers!

I’m having the same problem.

When I login to the Xfinity Stream app on my Apple TV 4K 3rd generation. The app logs me in for about 1 second, then displays the following message.

”This device can only access Xfinity Stream on your in-home Xfinity WiFi.”

Then it takes me back to the sign in page.

The problem is…I am in my home on my Xfinity WiFi network!

Can you help with this?

@XfinityShawn​ Sean, the directions that you give for contacting, you are more complicated than the directions your chat reps give to restart, reinstall, update, and reset. None of which do anything to solve the problem of Xfinity’s in compatibility with Apple TV.

I have the same issue, but I have more information to share.

I have THREE (3) Apple TV devices in my home. One in the family room, one in the master bedroom and one in my office.

The only one that works is the one in the family room.
The other two I haven't accessed Xfinity Stream in a while. I am now prevented from viewing any content on these two devices.

Family Room:
MODEL=A1625 (32 GB)
tvOS=17.5.1 (21L580)
Status=WORKING


Master Bedroom:
MODEL=A1842 (32gb)
tvOS=17.5.1 (21L580)
STATUS=DOES NOT WORK


Home Office:
MODEL=A1625 (32 GB)
tvOS=17.5.1 (21L580)
Status=DOES NOT WORK

It seems to not matter what the model or OS version is. It seems that as soon as I am made to authenticate, the authentication fails.


Rebooting devices has no effect.
"Forgetting" WiFi settings has no effect.
Re-installing the Xfinity App has no effect.


I must conclude that there is an issue with the app. We typically only access the Xfinity app in the family room because my wife likes to watch the news in the morning.

Once we tried watching the Olympics in our own bedroom we discovered the issue.

This is sounding more and more like a buggy app that needs Xfinity's attention.

Please review and let me know your thoughts on this ASAP.
