Disney+ App hangs during commercial breaks

Hey all,

Recently resubscribed to Disney+ and it works like well, [Edited: "Language"], via the Xfinity App. It tends to hang during the commercial breaks. Inevitably have to exit the App, restart and hope the commercial break completes. Anyone else have the same issue?

Add me to the many, many, others who are experiencing the issue of hanging ads when watching the Disney+ app on Xfinity’s box. It’s getting obnoxious- it’s been stuck at least 5x now on a 20 minute show

user_b9sz4o, I see you are having issues on your end as well. Can you tell us more about this, and any troubleshooting you've done so far? Any other App doing the same on the X1 box?

The Disney+ app on Xfinity keeps freezing intermittently during adds. Sometimes I can't even get the gosh darn show to start. After reading that numerous other people are having this issue and have been having this issue for AT LEAST the last 5 months, I somehow feel less special..... All who are attempting to use the secondary application are obviously aware that there are other ways of streaming content but somehow we are all still here in this loop. If this company really valued me as a customer and consumer this would not still be happening after 5 months.

user_j5kvgo What device are you using to watch that on? Can you make sure you have the latest update? Have you contacted Disney+ support to see if the issue is not on their end?

I have the same problem.  We have a smart TV so I just started going directly into Disney+ after powering down the Xfinity box.  Works like a charm, never hangs up!

Sorry to read this issue persists ... something to keep in mind if we restart our Disney+ sub.

We are having this same issue.  We have a main TV box and two additional boxes.  It happens on all three of the boxes and the three TVs.  It has been happening for at least a year. 

I recently activated a new TV box in my bedroom.  It was happening on the old box, and is still happening on the new one.

Thank you.

Did you go into the Disney settings and change the data feed from Automatic to Save?

It is an ongoing problem with the Disney+ app on certain Xfinity boxes. Not sure what exactly triggers the freeze, but I do not have the same problem on my SmartTV's version of the app, or on web/phone connections.
