No video when streaming on chrome or safari

I have not used streaming on my Mac for a while and tried today - audio plays but no video using current versions of Chrome or Safari. The Stream App works fine on my iPhone & iPad. I've done the usual things like restart the cable modem, router & Mac but no joy. IIRC, there used to be a Flash issue but now that Flash is gone, what has changed? Anyone have a fix for this?

Same problem.

Works with Chrome however, on the same computer.

Clue: Just updated OS from Mohave (10.14) to Monterey (OS 12).

It worked perfectly before the update, and has failed since.

Suggestions?

I am just using "Web Stream" (https://www.xfinity.com/stream/) which I have bookmarked. Simple login to my account.

Again - working on Chrome, but not Safari (my proffered browser) version 15.4. OS is Monterey 12.3.1 on a Mac mini 

Same issue as others - starts with program for a few seconds with video, then black screen with audio only...

Hello, @user_cc948b, are you able to let us know if you are not getting a picture while using all browsers on your Mac? As of now we don't have a confirmed issue with Xfinity Stream. For most of our customers that has been a computer or browser issue. Our recommendations are to test with multiple browsers and PCs to help identify the issue.

is your issue fixed?   has Comcast given you any answers/info about the problem ?
or

do they just keep asking the same question?


Comcast seems to be very apologetic about our concerns but do little to nothing to help

Thanks for asking. How I wish I had an additional reply, but have heard nothing from the vendor, yet. I'm surprised that a customer must adjust their own behavior to fit the product instead of the vendor modifying the product to include, and therefore appeal to, a wider audience. Follow up on my part: I begrudgingly tried another browser, FireFox, and by golly I can watch live and streaming, on Mac and all connected monitors. To test further, I logged into my Comcast account using Safari, on my Mac (2018 MacBook Pro, OS 12.4) screen. HUZZAH, I could watch live and stream, *if* I started on the Mac screen and moved the site to another monitor. However, when I moved the website *back* to the Mac screen, audio continued, video disappeared. No matter where I moved the site thereafter, video didn’t appear. Let's face it, in this day and age, multiple monitors are rather common. Are these issues so technologically difficult? I choose to believe Comcast webmasters can fix them with ease. Please, make it happen.

Not able to open Xfinity Stream on iMac with either Chrome or Safari. Using OS Monterey 12.4. Called Xfinity. They are hung up on it being a network issue. It is not. Compatibility between Apple and Xfinity.  Sadi they will call back ;-)

@user_40b1ae Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue.

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3EqVMu7

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

 

See https://comca.st/3KQF8q9 for an example.

I no longer work for Comcast.

I'm having the same issue.  I was previously able to use xfinity stream on mac.  Now I have audio but no video using either Safari or Chrome.  This is bogus and just one more reason to "cut the cord".
