DVR not working with my Roku Streaming Stick on the Xfinity App

Usually I can watch the playback but a few minutes in the picture either freezes or stops. How can I fix this?

Hi @user_efa6ae

 

I see you have a couple of posts inquiring about this issue. Do not worry we are here to help! Have you tried any troubleshooting steps you can share? 

 

We can start with uninstalling and installing the app. 

 

A few questions for you, are you having the same issue if you log in to Xfinity Stream through a different device? (app on phone or xfinity.com/stream) 

 

Is the freezing only on recordings?

Hello

Thank you for staying on this issue until fully solved. Much appreciated.

We can start with uninstalling and installing the app. 

A. Did this a few times and no help

 

A few questions for you, are you having the same issue if you log in to Xfinity Stream through a different device? (app on phone or xfinity.com/stream) 

A. Only having the issue with the Roku Streaming Stick. No other devices.

 

Is the freezing only on recordings

A. Correct. Only freezing on recordings.

The video and audio become out of whack with each other and eventually while watching a recording the picture freezes and the audio keeps playing.

Also, if trying to fast forward it does not play the recording again. You just have 3 dots on the screen trying to play the recording. It is probable in the part of the recording where the video and audio separate and it can't play it at all.

This only started happening about 2 months ago with new recordings. 

I can watch old recordings with no issue. I have been using the Roku Streaming Stick with the Xfinity Streaming app for a few years now.

We are experiencing the same exact issue. When watching DVR shows on the stream app using Roku television, we experience the same issue. When watching with the DVR box no issues.

Thank you for reaching out to us here @user_0el86e. I am sorry to hear you are running into that problem with the recordings on your Roku TV. Have you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that corrects the problem?
