Stream app not resolved despite rep saying it was, please help

**** Please help.  I posted on wednesday about this and had a rep reply that this issue was resolved (without saying when or how), but I tried to use the app tonight and the issue has not at all been resolved, so I'm going to try to get help one more time.  This is my Wednesday post about the Xfinity Stream app problem:

What's been happening for the past week:  The app (Xfinity Stream on my iPhone 14) connects successfully with my LG TV every time.  But when I tap "Watch" on a show, it looks like streaming is about to start (the scrub bar shows, the 'downloading' circle is active, but the show never starts.  After a couple of minutes, the app says "ERROR" with no error code or explanation about the error.  On a couple of occasions it said "Just Watched" on the app, and both of those times it was a brand new recording that I had not watched (or even started watching) at all.

What I've done so far:  

Unplugged and rebooted the TV - made sure it is connected to the internet.

Rebooted my iPhone

Made sure both iPhone and the LG TV are both up to date with software.

Rebooted the modem/router

Uninstalled and reinstalled the Xfinity stream app.

Tested streaming from the Xfinity Stream app on my up-to-date iPad and same problem.  Connection, but no streaming success.

Any other suggestions?  Streaming was working well prior to about a week ago.

Thank you for letting us know this was still an issue, @user_qp37ea! Can you tell me a little more about how this has been presenting itself? You mentioned not being able to stream from your iPhone or iPad to your LG TV. Are you able to view content on your mobile device directly, only to have it lock up when you try to cast to your TV? Are you using the Apple AirPlay app to mirror your phone, or does your TV have the Xfinity Stream app installed?

Thanks for your reply - Yes, I can view content directly on my mobile devices but cannot stream from the Xfinity app to the LG TV.  I stream from within the Xfinity Stream app, tapping the stream icon in the XS app and selecting my TV.  I do not open the iPhone's Mirroring app.  My TV does not have Xfinity Stream app installed.
