DVR recordings freeze while viewing on Xfinity Stream App

For the last two weeks my DVR recordings have been freezing while watching them on the Xfinity Stream app. I can still hear the audio but the video completely freezes. It usually starts around the halfway point of the recording. Please help.

as many people have said, this does not work either. I just tried it again, and it was frozen at the same place as my xfinity app. So please do not continue to suggest things that do not work and get this resolved once and for all. Now, I can go to my TV and it will work. But just so aggravating. Especially with so much competition out there.

I understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback on this matter, @user_fe9b47. To confirm I understand correctly. The issue is still present when using the website and app. But working on the TV box. Am I correct?

Hi, @user_bc207e. Thanks for bringing your playback issue on the Stream app to our attention. I'm confident we'll be able to make this right together. I've experienced this issue once myself. What helped resolve it was performing a System Refresh on my main cable box by pressing the A button my my X1 remote, and deleting and reinstalling the app. Let us know if that works for you too.

Will performing a System Refresh on the man cable box cause programs  to delete or settings to change?

@BrianH16 Thank you for reaching out on the Xfinity Forum. A system refresh should not cause you to lose any programs or settings. It would be similar to a clearing of cache and cookies that someone would perform in a browser on the internet. We recommend powering down the cable box for about a minute by removing it from the power outlet. Let it boot back up and attempt the action again. I would also recommend the same steps for your modem as well.

I’m having the same issue viewing Bravo DVR’d programs through xfinity stream app on iPhone. (Replay on TV/Cable has no problem). The shows video freezes at halfway mark but audio continues. I’ve refreshed, reset and unplugged system, each x1 cable box, modem, iPhone, etc —  Nothing fixes problem.

How should I proceed?

I am having this same issue. It has happened to 3 Bravo recordings in the past week. So frustrating! The recordings freeze when I try to stream on my phone (can still hear audio) and timeout and become unavailable when using the TV app.

That is never the experience we want you to be having. Please allow us to get this figured out. Are you having issues that generate a specific error code?

@delkp I want to help you get the issue with your video freezing as soon as possible. Is this happening mainly on Bravo as others have described or on multiple channels? Is this only on live channels, DVR, on Demand or a mixture? As much information as possible is very helpful?

Same issue for me!  Been happening for weeks. I’ve removed the app, refreshed the system, unplugged and plugged back in. Same issue day after day. Only with Bravo channels and happens as soon as I try to fast forward it. Sometimes it will correct if I hit the 15 sec back arrow, but only about 30% of the time. Only does it on the app not playback on a tv or on the web on a computer.

Hello, @user_b564c2 and thread. I am seeing this issue is being worked on by our Engineering team now. I am showing the recordings are freezing on Bravo and TLC when using the Stream app. The sound will continue as you all have stated. This happens over WiFi or cellular, on Android and iOS. The temporary fix is to playback the shows from the Xfinity Stream website as opposed to the app. We hope to see this resolved soon and are very sorry for the inconvenience.

@XfinityRay​ if it paused/froze in the app and you do as you suggested “playback from website” it still is frozen and will not play from there either.

It’s beyond frustrating. I am looking into switching to a different steaming service because of this. It used to happen every few months, but now it’s happening for every recording :-(

Same thing is happening to me every day. I've tried everything, including spending 30 minutes on the phone with an incompetent tech guy.  It's beyond frustrating to pay so much a month and have a service that doesn't work. After reading through the forums, it's very clear Xfinity knows there's a problem and needs to fix it.

Hello, @user_3e291f and community. I am seeing this is a known issue that our Engineers are working on. The workaround is to use the Xfinity Stream website but I know that if you are on mobile only that will not be possible as the app is required for viewing. We hope to have this resolved soon and will post it here when we have further information.

Nope, still does it on the web version with Bravo shows. This has been going on for MONTHS, and we pay entirely (and I do mean ENTIRELY) too much for Xfinity services for this to happen. Fix it already.
