Watch Button

Xfinity Stream / Live TV / Favorite Channels. Clicking on a program opens the details, clicking on the Watch button and nothing happens. No blinking dots, no twirling thing, the url in the top lined doesn't change. It's like the button isn't a clickable link any more. Mouse click or touch screen have the same problem.

The problem started on my wife's computer yesterday. Today it's started on mine (windows 11, Chrome browser). Worked ok this morning.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

To unlock the Watch button on Xfinity Stream, you can try the following steps12345:

  1. Log in to Xfinity Stream using your Xfinity ID or email address and password.
  2. Click the Settings icon in the top right corner to manage your settings.
  3. Check if your network is recognized as the authorized in-home WiFi network linked to your Xfinity account.
  4. Troubleshoot any issues you may encounter with the Watch button.
  5. To record a program, open the menu, head to the Live TV section, find the content you want to record, and tap the "record" button.

I am not the OP but I’ve been having the same exact issue. I followed the steps above and they did not resolve the issue on my end. I even restarted my chrome browser but the issue continues

user_cxqmin Thank you so much for letting us know you are also running into issues with your Xfinity stream app. I was able to test the stream app from a few devices and browsers and did not run into any issues with the watch option, and each option for live TV played. Are you able to confirm if you are still running into issues?

I'm still having a problem. In xfinity stream I get the Blue Screen with xfinity stream and the 3 flashing dots, that's all.

That is certainly not the experience we would want you to have with that stream app or service @user_m2211sq18. Could you send me a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service? 

To send a direct message [private message]:

   Click the "Direct Message" icon or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

   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

I have the same issue in Chrome. I've dumped all cookies, re-booted, and re-logged in with no resolution. The problem appears to be in Chrome. The play button does work if I access Xfinity streaming through MS Edge.  I'd like to know how to fix this in Chrome.

Hi I have exactly the same problem. Xfinity suggested trying it using Icognito and then it worked but still doesn't make any sense.

PS: I called Xfinity yesterday and actaully spoke with a person who said they were overwhelmed with calls about the same issue both on the App and browsers apparently. Some sort of system issue apparently.

user_i48fz6, thank you for reaching out to let us know. Are you having the same issues with all content or specific shows? Does the same thing occur when you use the Stream App versus the web browser?

Same problem here, nothing loads, and when you do, on occasion, get to the stream home page, you can see that the fonts and HTML look weird. See the 404 error at the top?  This file needs to load (looks like it is hosted on the Akami servers) and it is not there, ie 404

https://www.xfinity.com/akam/13/6908bcc3

This console message indicates that the browser attempted to fetch a resource (like an image, script, stylesheet, or other file) from a server, but the server responded with an HTTP status code of 404. This code signifies "Not Found," meaning the server could not locate the requested resource at the provided URL [1, 2].

How to verify

Clicking on the link in the console message will typically open a new tab attempting to access the problematic URL. If the page shows a "404 Not Found" error page, it confirms that the resource is not available at that address.

Suggested fix

Ensure the URL for the requested resource is correct. This could involve checking for:

  • Typos in the file name or path.
  • Case sensitivity (URLs can be case-sensitive on some servers).
  • Whether the file actually exists on the server in the specified location.
  • If the resource is being loaded programmatically, verify the generated URL is correct.

Summary

The "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404" error means the requested resource could not be found on the server. To fix this, verify the URL and ensure the resource exists at that location.

I have been having the same issue for the past week.  I tried chatting with a representative but was given no help.

I've spoken with two more representatives since this post.  They refreshed/restarted my device, then told me to use incognito mode.  The last representative asked if I was using Grouped Airplay devices and I don't even know what that means.  They assured me the were raising a request on their end to fix the problem and said I would be contacted via phone or email.  That was 10 days ago and I have heard nothing and the problem continues.  It's been well over a month and Xfinity is clearly aware of the situation based on my repeated contacts and the existence of this forum.  I shouldn't have to pay over $200 a month when an issue like this goes unaddressed for so long.

I am doing all possible to find alternatives to Xfin+comcast. Comcast charges are uber way too high and to go a week missing all my video is so very wrong. "Watch" and "play" buttons do not work - after trying several times just to access my account. Deplorable service and cost.

user_kapugp I would be happy to help with the TV service concern, and see if I can also find a better deal to save you some money. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

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

I am having the same problem, tried 3 browsers, cleared cache. If you inspect the page with Chrome Developer tools, you can see in the console lots of errors.  There are elements on the page that are failing to load, and that may be why it doesn't work. I'd attach a screen shot but I dont think I can here.  I have called CS, chatted, even sent DM on X, nothing.  No help, this is a front end web issue with the stream on the web service, and can be fixed with a simple debug.  Someone pushed bad code or removed something on the back end.
