@XfinityThomasC I can log onto Vudu. All my stuff is there. Nothing will play on the main box. It gives me the error. Movies on Vudu will play on the secondary or smaller box. Someone else said they are having the same problem with the main box. It worked since I first got Xfinity. Just stopped over a month or two ago.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us regarding your issues streaming through the vudu app. Can you tell me if you are streaming through Flex, or X1 device? Are you having an issue streaming any other apps or just this app? Besides replacing the cable box what other troubleshooting steps have you attemped on your own? -Michellea

Having same Issue, must be a recent development because I was able to watch Vudu not too long ago.

I can Launch App, Sign in, and display my movies in Library, but when you try and launch one it appears to try and buffer for a moment before displaying a message that says “it looks like your having trouble with this title”, then suggests I lower the resolution it’s streamed in, I’ve lowered to to HD, then to SD to see if it would even launch like that.

After trying to launch in SD it appears to try and buffer for a moment before displaying an error message that reads “network error - unable to stream at this moment due to network error”.

After reading thru some of these comments I decided to try and Launch Vudu and stream the same title on my bedroom Xid box and it fired right up with no delay.

it appears to be some kind of issue affecting the HUB STB but not the corresponding Xids on the same network as crazy as that sounds.

thanks for taking the time to look at this and I hope it’s resolved soon, was planning on watching Maverick with the fam for the Holidays.

Thank you, can you confirm all the coaxial cable connections in the home should be "finger tight". Can you perform the following connection checks?

Check the coaxial cable at the wall plate?
Check the coaxial cable at the Internet modem and Cable box?
Adjust/remove splitter if applicable?
Ensure the device is located at the originally installed outlet?
Ensure any amplifier within the home (if applicable) is connected to power?

Let me know when this has been done, please?

Same issues as other posters, can log in to app and view library of titles, but when trying to play one get a ‘network error’ / unable to stream. Annoyingly, it will let us watch the trailers but not the actual movie!

Trying to stream off of primary Xfinity box as noted by others.

Any solution would be appreciated!

Thanks

@user_86n42a After testing again when a system outage was fixed, this seems to have worked after a DVR restart. You may have to logout of Vudu, then relogin.

I am having an error streaming on the Vudu app, I get the error “it appears you have been having trouble streaming this movie at the HDX quality level. Would you like to select a different quality level? Selecting a lower quality level may allow playback with fewer buffering interruptions.” I then select to switch to SD and still get the error.
This is not an issue with the boxes. I live in Indiana. My dad and sister that live in Kentucky in different homes get the same error when they are trying to stream on their Vudu app through xfinity. So I’m sure this isn’t an issue with just my box. We can’t play it from our main boxes or DVR box but can stream from the little x1 boxes

VUDU was working fine for me then it stopped a month or two ago. It wouldn’t let me log in or anything, it just kept failing to connect to the app. It started working again 2 weeks ago but now I’m back to a timeout “hardware error” message when trying to use VUDU. I swapped out my smaller X1 box for a longer model and I’m still having the same issue. All other apps work as well as my cable service. I’m only having issues trying to use VUDU.
