Pluto TV Unavailable Content Suddenly on One TV

I am on X1, and have three TVs in my house.  I have been watching Pluto TV for several years on each TV.  Suddenly, this week, I can't watch Pluto TV on my bedroom TV.  I can choose the app, I can choose a show, it starts loading the show, them I get a message that there is an issue and try again followed by another  message that says content not available.  I don't get those messages on the two TVs downstairs - content loads fine.  I've tried rebooting the cable box.  I've cleared the cache under settings - privacy.  Neither of those things helped.  What else do I need to try?

Hi there, @griffin185! Thanks for reaching out about watching the Pluto TV app. I am sorry to hear that has been giving you problems and am happy to further help. You did great with resetting the box and clearing the cache. Have you also tried a system refresh signal? That one takes about 15 minutes and will reboot all your equipment. You can press the "A" button and go right to select the tile or say "system refresh" to the voice remote to bring up the option. 

 

If that doesn't do the trick, I will check on your signal levels and that your TV boxes are up to date. Feel free to send us a direct message with your full name and complete service address to “Xfinity Support”. To do so, click on the direct messaging icon located at the top right of this forums page.

On XFINITY WiFi, Pluto TV app on TWO different TVs hasn’t worked since August 10 or 11. I spent hours with support and they insisted I try a Xumo device. I drove and picked one up, installed it.  Pluto TV on Xumo doesn’t work either. It just hangs.  All other streaming works and we did all the usual troubleshooting.  Not sure how to get this escalated to a network engineer.

Hi there, @user_7q7p6v! Thanks for sharing what you did to try and fix Pluto TV app hanging up. I do not see any know issues with the app but understand this has persisted with 2 TVs and the Xfinity Xumo box. Do you have any devices where it loads like your cell phone? 

 

Is your internet service working well with no concerns?

Hi Ray, Pluto TV app quit streaming on both of my TVs (old Visio and new Hisense, completely different OS). Yes, I told XFINITY support that Pluto works fine if I use my T-Mobile hotspot instead of XFINITY WiFi.  They insisted I go pick up a Xumo (which also has the Pluto TV app) so I did, and I installed it.  Xumo doesn’t stream Pluto either.  The issue is between XFINITY and Pluto.  It could be a blocked port, a bad route, a blacklisted IP, etc.  I don’t know your network architecture so just speculating

I work from home as a computer engineer.  All network and other streaming is fine. XFINITY support did all the usual troubleshooting and bouncing my WiFi but the problem seems to be in your network or between you and Pluto.  Thanks for the quick response!

Understood and thanks for all the steps you tried, @user_7q7p6v! We always want things working great for you! We will ensure this is reported to the proper teams. Our engineers would work between us and Pluto if there is a larger concern with the app. That is what I looked for earlier but didn't see any known issues. When you say connected to XFINITY WIFI do you mean your home network or the Xfinity WiFi Hotspots?

My home XFINITY XB8, rev 2.3.  MAC ends in a2fc.  Agent said they checked firmware, cleared cache and rebooted twice. I opened ticket with Pluto last week but closed it after seeing Pluto work when connecting TV WiFi to my T-Mobile hot spot.
