Viaplay subtitles

I recently subscribed to Viaplay on demand streaming on Xfinity. I enjoy the Nordic programs tremendously, but there are issues with subtitles on several programs. On Season 7 of Seaside Hotel, the subtitles are in Danish, not English. Episode two of Love Me (Älska Mig) displays the subtitles from episode 3, and Episode 5 also has mismatched subtitles. Episode 6 of Pernille (Pørni) has subtitles from a different program altogether. I hope that Xfinity and Viaplay can resolve these issues.

I have found the same issue and it is frustrating.   When I contract Xfinity, after being on hold for about an hour and I finally get an agent, I have been told to contact Viaplay.  I contact Viaplay through chat and they tell me to contact Xfinity.  Viaplay is ONLY available in the US through Xfinity.   In that sense, it seems like the two companies should get together to figure how to solve the problem.   

The program I like is "Thicker Than Water."  I watched the first two seasons on Masterpiece through Prime.  The third season is only available on Viaplay.   

I tried to subscribe to Viaplay directly, but I cannot figure out how to do it since I am in the US.

The concern is not "accessibility / disability" help related. Thread moved here to the proper help section for assistance.

@EG​ Nope.  I've contacted that group and they can do nothing.

In addition to the above, Hammarvik S1 E1 has the wrong subtitles (for another episode) and the sound cuts in and out. It's been months since I reached out about their for the first time.

It's the same with Hammarvik S1 E1--subtitles are for an entirely different show. I reached out to both Xfinity and Viaplay months ago. Crickets.

Hi @user_72b2d3,

We would be more than happy to look into the subtitle issues you may be experiencing. Have you attempted to stream the content on the Xfinity Stream application to see if you are encountering the same issues? Please let us know.

@user_72b2d3​ I have been calling Viaplay and Comcast since January 2022 with absolutely no resolution.

@XfinityDemitrius​ I fully believe that it is a content problem.  Wrong subtext file associated with the video file. I am not sure if it is Comcast's fault or Viaplay's fault, but as the final customer, I should not have to figure it out.   Comcast needs to get together with Viaplay and figure out where the issue lies and fix it.
