Paramount Plus errors

I signed up for this service specifically because I wanted to watch 1883 and Star Trek Discovery. Not only is the response time PITIFULLY SLOW when trying to navigate, but i get an error every time a new episode tries to play. I have to close the app, launch it audible, and the next episode will play. First impressions of this app are not good.

Okay, don't know if it will help anybody, but...  I fussed with the ad blocking on my laptop and got nowhere.  Same with trying to get help from Paramount.  After posting a few minutes ago it dawned on me (I know) that I should modify my network ad blocking and see if that helped.  Well, that did it.  No more errors and watching Mayor of Kingstown.  Good luck.

Good morning! Thank you for reaching out to us here online through our Xfintiy Forums to bring this concern to our attention. We definitely want you to have the best experience possible with our services and we are here to help! I can see how that would be disappointing to have these errors when you specifically got this to watch a show you wanted. 

 

So that we can help to troubleshoot this, can you tell us what error you get when you are trying to play a new episode, please?

Devin, thanks for reaching out. The code is just a message saying an error occurred and to try again later. I exit the app, relaunch it and it works. I did have one occasion where I had to do it twice.

Are you trying this on our cable box, flex box, or third party device? Also, does anything else ever just run slowly on this device or other devices?

Hi Devin, this is on my cable box. I have only recently subscribed to cable again. I streamed for 2 years,  and only subscribed again in the last year or so. I had initially been using flex, but ended up turning it in for the regular box, for an issue I have since forgotten. The response of the voice remote is always flaky, never works the first time you press the voice button, rewinding and fast forwarding are very laggy. Just not great,  customer experience-wise. The Paramount + thing is just one more thing. Unless there is some option for me, I will be canceling my Paramount subscription soon. Thanks for the follow up.

Hey @jbarbuti, thank you for reaching out and letting us know about the error. Do you know what model of TV box you currently have? There is a known issue for XG2v2 models that our development team is working on getting fixed.

I also spent 2 hours with a comcast rep who had no fix to this issue....just a random error message with no number attached to it that something went wrong.  We tried to reset the system...made sure I was logged into the account...each time and with each tv I tried it was the same error message....Looks like I won't be using Paramount Plus.

I also have been experiencing this problem for a couple weeks now. Most of the time I can retry with some success but today it's not working. There is NO ERROR CODE#.

I get a message telling me they will send me equipment (free) so I can watch Paramount Plus. So I ordered the equipment. I hope it works. I can’t even get an access code at this point.

Paramount plus is extremely glitchy, the program freezes probably 1/3 of the time.  The rest of the time it's super slow to boot.

Paramount Plus and Xfinity do not seem to get along.  I constantly get "Error Something went wrong! Please try again later. Error code -" when I try to start a show.  Sometimes it works after restarting my Xfinity box and sometimes it doesn't.  Craziest thing is sometimes I get the above error, but the show actually starts behind the error box.  Haven't figured out how to get rid of the error box without the system taking me back to the menu.

If there is updated Xfinity equipment that fixes this, tell me how to get it.

I streamed the channel on Roku with no trouble until last week.  It seems that most things work but when I try to watch 1883 or Mayor of Kingstown the screen dims and I get the error saying something went wrong, try again later.  I was on hold with Paramount support for 30 minutes before I gave up.  It's weird that it just happens on those two shows.  I think maybe the problem is traffic on their server, just an uneducated guess.

i am having the same issue with Paramount Plus constantly giving me error message when try and watch any show through Xfinity. I have three homes in three states all with different Xfinity cable boxes from brand new to several years old and they ALL do this. Please let know what the fix is and if not I will be cancelling my Xfinity cable plus as well.
