Stream app needs to be fixed!!

It is not a television issue which are new, smart and LG’s. Our router is new and more than adequate.  

The app is SLOW.  When I finally get to a channel if I go back to previous channel, THREE DOTS just keep spinning.  TV has to be turned off and on to watch.  This occurs on BOTH smart televisions.  

There is NO PROBLEM with any other apps.  

Xfinity Stream shouldn’t have rolled out until it was ready.  The longer we have it the glitches get worse.  

We don’t want to use boxes again and pay more money.  Since ALL other streaming apps work fine, what is Xfinity doing to correct it?  Calling CS doesn’t help at all.  

 Shouldn’t be this difficult to watch television.  Please advise!!

 I have started to experience "Loading" on YouTube programs on Samsung TV  every few 30 seconds since last night 6/14/2024 . All YouTube programs work fine on all browsers on the computers. So mine is not internet issue at all. It is TV connected to Xfinity box which has been having issue all of sudden since last night after 2 decades using Comcast/Xfinity. Now Xfinity box/TV is not watchable.

Hi there, user_dpha5f! I apologize that the YouTube app has been buffering making it unwatchable. We will get to the bottom of this so you can relax and enjoy your entertainment once again. Are you noticing issues with any other apps on your Samsung TV or just the YouTube app?

A step I take to reset the internet connection to my TV is to forget the WiFi network from the TV, restart my TV, then turn it back on and connect to my home WiFi network again. Have you tried that already?

THE APP [Edited: "Language"]. It has not worked yet. I purchased a faster/expensive modem too. The one Xfinity recommended too.

I have similar issues but I also find that the Xfinity app for Samsung is slow to resolve the picture once it appears on the screen. Sometimes it’s up to 30 seconds for the high-def picture to resolve. 

The Xfinity app for Apple TV resolves right away. I just wish it had the mini guide like the Smart TV version of the app.

@user_e89e51  I tested it and works fine on all my devices. If there are issues with the TV's or TV platforms for the app, we recommend a dedicated streaming device like a Roku or Firestick, that can handle the large library of available movies/shows, and massive Live TV content from the Xfinity Stream app. We also have our Xumo boxes that specialize in streaming apps. Xumo, and any dedicated streaming device will allow you to enjoy all your content successfully. It can also be Cast to any Smart TV in the home from a mobile device such as a phone or tablet.

Xfinity tells me ALL my problems are because of my Roku TV doesn’t support their platform

@user_e89e51​ tried to tell us their app doesn’t work with ROKU TV. That’s why everything else works.  I don’t know what to believe.  If it didn’t work with Roku tv it would never work.  It’s great when it works, but it doesn’t always work. It’s now working great with Amazon fire stick upstairs and  XUMO box downstairs.

I think they are keeping it intentionally slow so you will get annoyed and pay more to get another box.

Whoever developed the Xfinity stream app should be fired. It's buggy and slow. I have LG C1, C2 smart TV's. I have the same issues others described in this forum. I have to exit the app and restart the app every day. Every fking day. Hire better engineers Xfinity!

Hi there, DolbyAtmos! Thanks for reaching out about the Xfinity Stream app on your LG TVs. We want that working great and are glad to dig further into this. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far such as uninstalling or reinstalling the app, checking for TV updates, or checking if the issue is isolated to only the TVs or present on other devices as well?

Over the years this app has slightly improved...until today. Our internet was down due to a "Comcast outage in our area". Since then the Xfinity Stream app will not load anything from Live TV, Saved programs, etc. Just the three dots . . . And the "try again". 

We have 5 tvs with Roku boxes, 3 Roku Smart tvs (and one cable box/dvr) using X1 wifi.

Cable box works fine. Stream app on all Roku platforms has been frozen since internet came back on 7/15/24 (same day).

Reatarted all roku devices and tvs and x1 device, restarted app, checked for updates on roku boxes/device and Stream app. Uninstalled app and reinstalled app.  STILL NOT LOADING CONTENT!!!!

Every other app running perfectly.

I, like many others, have been a customer for decades and am appalled at this long-continued issue and lack of concern/attention by actual Comcast human beings.

I will try again tomorrow im hopes that the cloud service wakes up and starts working.

Comcast is terrible they say use Firestick to resolve problem. I have a brand new firestick 4k max. And it will not work about every 5 min says not connected to internet. Back out to guide and go back to channel it is fine. I am even wired direct to my Xfinity provided router. If you recommend a solution that costs a customer money, you should make sure it works. CS is a hugh joke read from script and pass the buck if script doesn’t work. Looking to cancel and use a different service.

@user_hbaw4p​ I purchased a new Fire TV Stick 4K Max also and had the Internet connection dropping issue - it's a problem Amazon has to fix on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I called and talked to them, they had me return it and sent me another. It doesn't drop the Internet connection 3-5 times per day as the first one did, but still does once, or so, every few days. I also have Fire TV Stick 4K which has never had that problem.

Hey there, @user_hbaw4p. We can definitely understand the frustration of not having a service function as it is intended. @erm54 Provided some great insight on working with Amazon on potentially getting a replacement Firestick. They mentioned they tested multiple devices and the replacement is functioning more efficiently.

@user_hbaw4p​  if and when it works it’s great, but it doesn’t always work.  Why would anyone switch to another one of their services?

We have the same issues.  We insisted that Xfinity send a tech to our house rather than continuing to deal with customer service.  Tech removed an amplifier & installed the newest router - now we have TV's that won't connect!  Xfinity is sending a tech back to hopefully fix the issue.  I agree that the problems are app based not equipment.  Hulu is looking better every day.

Hello, @user_wrfzma! Was the return tech already out and able to assist in resolving the issue?

It sucks!  I feel like I’m back in the 90’s dial up.  I’m canceling it.  It’s not worth paying for it

user_h922uj,

Thank you for reaching out. I see you are considering canceling, and I am sorry to hear that. I understand the Stream App also hasn't been performing as expected for you as well. That is never what we want to hear. Can you confirm what devices you use the app with? Do you run into trouble on your Smart TV, laptops, and phones?

I'm sorry to be blunt but can you stop gaslighting us and please fix the issues. It doesn't matter the brand of the tv or casting device, it's the app.

In a nutshell I am having all of these issues. CS is horrible,<Edited: Language>. I’m told their platform doesn’t work with ROKU TVs. You’ll need an Amazon fire stick or a XUMO box.  It’s better now with the fire stick and XUMO box but we are still having the same problems.  Just not as frequent. It’s taken over 4 hours months for them to come up with this solution.

Hello, user_e89e51! I am sorry to hear that the Stream app has been acting up. We appreciate all of your help with troubleshooting so we can get to the root cause of the problem. This link shows the compatible Roku devices with the Xfinity Stream app. You can check that your Roku is supported and has the required firmware. 

 

I am glad that the new cable was run and want to get the rest fixed as well. Does the Roku device show there is a good internet signal?

On 8/18/24 on my Roku tv and other Roku devices can not function as they were with the Xfinity Stream APP.  I have done everything that people have stated previously. An Xfinity tech just left my home.  He tested all equipment and it works, but the Xfinity Stream APP does not work properly with the Live TV choice.  Even the Xfinity techies feel that something is wrong with the Xfinity Stream APP.  Sounds like  a software issue with the Xfinity APP is the problem, so why cannot Xfinity upgrade the APP.  All of my other apps work fine.
