Discovery plus issues when does Xfinity FINALLY fix???

I see everyone been having the same issues with discovery plus and Xfinity for months? So my question is I notice the same reply from the reps are please send a private message? Why? It’s still NOT being fixed because if it was I wouldn’t see the same issue. Now I’m having the same issue. Stuck on the logo screen. I reached out to discovery and they said it’s a Xfinity issue. The rest of my streaming apps work fine and the discovery app on my other devices work fine except with you guys. So what’s the deal?!

Comcast mainly just supplies the platform for developers to write for. Right now, there appears to be alot of finger pointing. My guess is that it's an app issue which would be Discovery's problem, especially if you subscribe directly with Discovery and not through Comcast.

Hi there, @user_cbc8aa. Thank you for creating this post and reaching out to us via our Forums. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Please keep in mind that we supply the platform and the app is provided by the actual company. As you have stated, the app is working on all other devices, however, all other streaming apps are working on the cable box. This points to an issue outside of Xfinity. However, if you would like us to troubleshoot the issue for you, please send us a peer-to-peer message to assist you. We will be more than happy to troubleshoot in any way we can and verify what may be causing the issue if it is on our end.

Hi @SamsMomKim! The more cases and info we gather will help narrow down the solution to this issue. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? To send a "Peer to peer" ("Private") message:

  1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon
  2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)
  4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

Using xfinity remote, we say “Discovery Plus”. On TV, it says leaving to go to third party app. Then the Discovery+ app appears and gives the option to do a 7 day trial or to log in.
We have always logged in in that app using the credentials from our subscription obtained thru apple iOS .
It works for that session and sometimes more than just one session. But then, we try to use Discovery+, and it asks us to log in again.
This is a time consuming task using the up down left right arrows to select letters, upper or lower case, symbols and numbers.
Hopefully, there is a way for permanent login to the TV/Comcast system.  Discovery+ technology support says it is an xfinity problem.
can you help and eliminate the need to login in EVERY time we want to see Discovery + channel?

Hey, @Rlloyd161! Thanks for the detailed comment. I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing a similar issue when trying to access Discover + App. To make sure we are on the same page. Your Discover + subscription was done through Apple, correct? Is this happening with any other device? Or just when using the app on our TV box?

It only happens when trying to view discovery+ via our xfinity service on TV.  The subscription is thru Apple.  The account worked for a while, ie login credentials were kept.

when we try to use Discovery+ now, it asks for login every time.  And doing that via TV screen keyboard is not practical

I can definitely understand how that is not ideal. We will get to the bottom of this! Does this occur when you're using your Xfinity Voice remote to use the app, or, when you're clicking on it manually?

We typically use the voice remote to select channels.   I just tried logging via the xfinity app, and the same thing happens.

it offers a 7 day trial or the login screen.

Discovery + would be the owners of the app and ultimately would have to be the ones to work with you on their authentication into the app. I would recommend reaching out to Discovery +. The networks provide the apps for us to use on the X1 box.

I'm having the same issues with Discover plus on Xfinity other have mentioned.  Freezing, buffering, impossible to watch.  I've tried signing out and in, clearing the cache (which made me have to sign in to all my apps again), and nothing helps. No error message, just unbearably glitchy.  Other apps work and Discovery Plus works fine on Roku.  Is this problem being worked on?

Hi Same issues as everyone else.     I am having consistent buffering issues with all of the programs in the D+ app in that it’s gone beyond periodic buffering. It’s now where I can’t watch more than a few minutes of a program without it buffering - to the point where the program won’t resume.   I’ve done a system refresh, I’ve cleared my local data, I’ve unplugged my router etc.   The issue has not been resolved.   I am not having this issue with any other streaming app.   But it seems the problem isn’t isolated to just me.   Please help.   The only advice Discovery provides is to remove and reinstall the app…which I cannot do since it is preloaded by Xfinity.   Please help!

I found that if I launch the app directly (downloaded it on my TV), the problem is much less severe than if I ask my remote to go to Discovery + (using voice commands). Don't know what the difference is but I am glad I tried it.

Having similar issues. For the past week Discovery + app won't even launch. Just on the logo page and never progresses. Have some ask the recommended troubleshooting advice I've found on my end but with no results.

No chat button on my browser but I’m having issues too. The app simply doesn’t open. Don’t you think it would be a good idea to allow the consumer to uninstall and reinstall apps??

Same old same old… I launch discovery plus either through voice command or remote and logo appears and it’s stuck. Only on one tv though which is strange.

I have had the same issue with discovery plus and xfinity. When I signed up for free trail I could use voice remote and it would take me to discovery plus with no sign in. I actually never created a sign in it was automated from xfinity. After the free trial it asked me to sign in which I tried but did not recognize me. After mos I cancelled and will not ever sign up for streaming services theough xfinity

This thread started 6 months ago and this is still an issue. I asked for a new router (which was needed) and the cable that was provided was too short so I had to buy a longer one because Comcast didn't have one long enough. Put everything together and got it up and running. Discovery+ still doesn't work. I'm happy with everything else but this issue is very annoying.

Emailed Discovery Plus and got this response. It worked for us!

1. Press the Xfinity button or home button on your remote

2. Use the right or left arrow buttons to get to the gear icon, then press 'OK' to go to 'Settings'

3. Use the up or down arrow buttons to get to 'Privacy'; then press 'OK'

If you do not see 'Privacy', then click on 'Local Storage Data' instead

4. Go to 'Clear Cookies and Local Storage Data' and press 'OK'

5. After clearing the cache, launch the discovery+ app once

@user_233143​ You are an angel! Such an easy fix and a long, winding road. I followed your instructions to privacy and then chose Local Storage Data and then clicked on Clear Cookies and Local Storage Data. I hope the Xfinity does something with your information or at least other users see this.

I agree. I thought Xfinity support was below "0" but Discovery+ is just as bad. They continue to add services but never really upgrade and fix their backbone to fix stupid issues like buffering and slow loading. Just keep milking the base until it is all gone isn't a long term strategy.
