Signed out, signed in, unistalled app, reinstalled app, did all the tech stuff on my end, still have the same problem with the streaming app. Apparently it's yet another software issue on Xfinity's end just like a year ago.

Playback functions can become buggy due to temporary software glitches that can be fixed with a simple refresh. 

Solutions:
  • Restart your Xfinity device. Perform a soft restart from the device menu or by holding the power button for 10 seconds. For a hard reset, unplug the device for at least 15 seconds, then plug it back in.
  • Clear cache and data on your device. This is especially helpful if you use the Xfinity Stream app.
    • On a streaming device (Roku, etc.): Uninstall and reinstall the Xfinity Stream app.
    • On a web browser: Clear your browser's cache and cookie

Tried all that. Doesn't work. It's an Xfinity software issue just like before.

Hello @user_nmeduq, thank you for taking the time to leave a post. I understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you have to start over on a section you’ve already watched. What type of device are you using to watch Xfinity Stream? Is the device software up-to-date? When did this issue begin?

My LG ThinQ TV Software updates automatically. The issue started when you updated Xfinity Stream about a week ago. It's your software issue once again.

I have an LG Thin Q 2022 that automatically updates its software. Xfinity Stream updated about a week ago and that when the issue started. It's in your software on your end. This happened in 2024. Check your forums from Oct, Nov and Dec 2024.
