SOLVED: Xfinity Stream app on Flex with Samsung TV

Hi,

Until this week, I was able to select the Xfinity Stream app from Flex and stream shows.  This week, I get the "X" purple logo animation and then just 3 dots in the middle of the screen.  I have an older Samsung Smart TV and have read about issues with Xfinity Stream and the TV, but I'm using the Flex box connected to the TV and not an app on the TV.  Any ideas?

Hi user_e3a43d, 

Thank you for reaching out. I hope you are doing well today, besides the hiccups with the Stream App on your Flex equipment. I understand you had no issues before, but you recently ran into trouble. I'm a big fan of our Flex box, and I know how great it can be. With that said, I'm sure this has been a headache to deal with. We appreciate you brining this to our attention and creating a new post. If you use the Xfinity Stream App on your phone or another device, do you have the same troubles? Have you tried to reboot the box or tried any any additional troubleshooting so far?

Hi, the Xfinity Stream app works correctly on my phone and laptop so it is just the Flex box that has the issue.  I have unplugged the Flex box twice, and it did not solve the issue.  I also checked to make sure that the Flex box was connected to my home network which it is.  Other apps from the Flex box work correctly.

Thanks

user_e3a43d Thank you for the updates. I'm a big fan of the Stream App, and I know it's really convenient to have access on the Flexbox. Did you get any error messages or codes that accompany this issue, or just the logo, as you mentioned in your post? Are any other apps on the Flex box giving you trouble?

I get the logo animation and then a greyish screen with just three dots in the middle showing that something is loading.  But the dots just keep flashing. I’ve waited over two minutes and then just give up.  No other apps have problems.

@XfinityVianney​ I started a DM chat, but had to wait 20 minutes between generic responses so I wasted 45 minutes.  Xfinity support is just a joke.  If there are no troubleshooting ideas, I'll just deal with it until I cancel my Xfinity service.
