dvr playback on stream app: picture freezes, audio remains around the 35 min mark

When I playback a show I've DVR'd through the Stream app, playback is normal until around the 35 min mark when the picture freezes but the audio remains playing.  This seems to be happening with Bravo shows on my iPad and iPhone.

I also wrote to Bravo. Given Xfinity and Bravo are both owned by Comcast, you'd think they can work it out pretty easily. [Edited: "Personal Information/Solicitation"]

What is being done about this Bravo streaming issue? A month seems like enough time to solve the problem if you're really working on it.

@user_c403d5 There is a known issue at this time with recordings on the TV channels Bravo and TLC when using our stream app. Our temporary solution is to stream via the website instead of our stream app. 

 

Our team of programmers are working to resolve this as quickly as possible, we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding.

Xfinity won’t help you on these forums. Everything they are recommending doesn’t work. [Edited: Solicitation"]. I have done this and Comcast corporate is now engaged. [Edited: Solicitation"]. Comcast has now been out to my home twice. They think this is a hardware (equipment) and/or signal (wiring) problem but it’s not. They came out replaced hardware and checked wiring replaced them still same issue. [Edited: Solicitation"].

Very disappointing that this is still an issue going on 3 months now. Xfinity Stream App had an update a few days ago, I was hoping the Bravo streaming issue for iPhone and iPad would be resolved but it is not, still freezing on playback . What’s going on Xfinity??? Very frustrating.  Very unhappy customer.

They rarely provide a solution. Calling doesn’t help. Having customers complain doesn’t help. Having a bunch of unhappy customers isn’t motivating enough for them. They are too busy raising prices when their services don’t work.  The fact that there is still not a resolution after months and months of this is mind boggling. More importantly, calling them is a nightmare. Who would actively choose to call Comcast? Sad that this is where we are at.

This has also been happening to me as well for the last many months on my iPhone.  It hadn’t happened previously.  All of the troubleshooting tips from Xfinity support are not working.  I saw one tip above was to go directly though the website.  I tried and when I go to start a show, it says it will connect me to the app which is not working.  Can Xfinity please post the fix on this forum so we know what to do?  Super Frustrating.

I am in the same situation. I’ve tried all troubleshooting. Nothing fixes it. It’s always bravo. I’m on iPhone.

Hey there, @user_af2efd! Thanks for bringing your shared concerns to the community for help. I'm sorry to hear that the steps you've taken so far have not been able to resolve this streaming issue. May I ask what all you've tried on your iPhone so far?

Regardless of what channel my recordings originated on, I constantly experiences DVR recording playback failures on my iPad.  Recording is fine for a period of time, then either freezes or if I try to ff past commercials, it never picks up again -- reverts to the beginning of the program, and or freezes completely and sends an error message about problems with playback.  It is maddening.  iPad has all of the update software.

No problem watching on a PC laptop and fast forwarding, just on the iPad.

Hi there, @jhmr, thank you for sharing your experience with us on our Xfinity Forums. I know how frustrating it is when a certain feature is not working the way we want it to. Please rest assured, you have reached the right team for assistance. 

 

Have you completed any troubleshooting steps on the iPad? Forced closed the app? Deleted and reinstalled the app?

This forum has been great to read. Multiple people complain of the same problem. The comcast reps put the same stock formula up.  Everyone says it doesn’t work. Someone else has the same problem. The comcast reps put the same first stock response up.  Ever so helpful. It seems to me the issue is in the ads. Mine will freeze after an ad break. Going back, it freezes in the same spot, during the same ad, and will not play forward. Only on my iPad. When I watch on my tv, there are different ads and those don’t freeze.  Anyone else noticed the same?

Hmm this is a very interesting concern. We really appreciate you reaching out to Xfinity Forums. I understand you are having issues with the Xfinity Stream App. Based on your post I understand you have troubleshot your ipad and the issues remain. Are these issues with the same download within the app? Are you streaming while in the home as well?

It was so interesting to come here and see many people dealing with an issue that I thought was unique to me. This frustratingly happens a lot, and none of the fixes work. For me, it is not limited to just Bravo or TMC it happens with many recordings from many channels, does not seem to be triggered just by ads, and in my case it happens for things I stream as well as things I’ve downloaded. It happens when I’m on my home wifi, other wifi networks, or even offline. It seems totally random and I can see no pattern in how or when it happens. I don’t have this problem with any other app, Netflix, Prime, HBO Max all work fine. Nothing like downloading a bunch of shows for a flight and only get 2 minutes in before the picture freezes and realize I have no entertainment for the next 3 hours…

Why is anyone surprised this hasn’t been fixed yet. They are VERY busy raising everyone’s prices and taking channels away and making them billiards at a higher tier. I do NOT a expect a resolution to this AT ALL.

Unbelievable!! It happens for me all the time on Bravo shows. Yes I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions made above and also deleted and reinstalled the app. SO FRUSTRATING with the amount of money we pay to Xfinity!! Not sure how much they really care about their customers…
