firestick xfinity tv app not syncing with the video in the recorded programs this is happening on both of my 4k firesticks

When playing some of my recorded content through the firestick the audio and video are not syncing up with each other. The same content acts the same way on both of my 4k firesticks forcing me to watch that content on the cable box. I bought the firesticks to be able to watch all my TV services without having to switch back and forth. This is frustrating is there a fix? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app refreshed the firestick done all I could think of besides setting the device back to the factory settings and starting over and I'm not about to do that.

I'm experiencing the same issue on multiple devices a firestick,  firestick 4k and a 4k toshiba fire tv.  This not a device issue this is an app issue. Xfinity charges through the nose for service that is often unwatchable.   Please fix the app.

Hello, @Shalanda_20, I love the Stream app and use it daily on my TV, so I can only imagine how you're feeling. That out-of-sync audio can really drive you crazy. What troubleshooting steps have you taken already? I'd hate to make you repeat yourself while we try to get this fixed for you.

Audio-video continues out of sync on firestick version of the Xfinity app when replaying recorded programs.  The firestick xfinity app does not work!  I have tried every solution online. It does not happen on any other platform. The firestick device is FAR SUPERIOR to Xfinity devices.  I am thinking FUBO plus over the air live TV via wifi dvr. Good savings versus xfinity

I am having the same issue on a Fire Tv programs when I watch recorded programs.  I don’t have the issue if I I watch the same program on my IPAD.  Is is only the Xfinity Stream Beta App for fire tv.  It is about a 4 second delay.

I'm sorry everyone but the development team has stopped working with me.  They want to send someone to my home to investigate but I'm not paying for that. I know they will charge me because they want to check out the Fire Sticks not their equipment and they charge for anything that requires them to deal with equipment that is not theirs. Looks like this is the end of any attempts to fix the app. [Edited: "language/solicitation"]

@eagle252 Try contacting them through email or chat and get them to email you that you will not be charged for the home visit.  They may want to try various changes to the settings to confirm that the app is causing problems.  This might help you, and everybody else who is having this problem.

If they will not do that.  Then I agree that you should not bother.

I’m having the same problem and it’s getting worse (firestick, xfinity app, playback of recorded shows audio out of sync). At first, it happened once in a while, now it’s happening on most every new recording). I’ve cleared cache and nothing.

 There were several requests to contact xfinity via chat, has there not been any resolution?  I read the post where xfinity wants to come on-site to check things- that makes no sense.  Evidently, this is a prolific problem and appears to be related to the fire stick app.

@Surge2 Problem is that I have one cable box in the living room with a Firestick and another Firestick in the bedroom and both are having the same issue. It is not some sort of issue with hardware it is a software problem. As I was a computer programmer in the past I can tell the difference. If it is a firmware issue it would be simple enough for them to recreate the issue and diagnose it directly without bothering me at home.

I also have experienced this.  It was very bad on a Survivor show that I recorded.  That show has lots of commercials, so it was very annoying having to watch the three second or so out of sync video.  Most of my early morning recorded news does not have this problem, but once in a while they do.  It is very unpredictable.

I could not get the Xfinity boxes, other than the main dvr box to work, so I switched to firesticks, and use them on three of my other TVs.  They worked okay, except for freezing once in a while when watching on demand stuff.

The out of sync video and audio problem seems more frequent recently.  I have no problem streaming content on my Ipads or laptops.  The firestick works fine with all my other apps.  Only the Xfinity app gives me problems. However, none of my other apps show recorded content.  So it appears this problem is an Xfinity app problem that occurs only when displaying recorded content. This occurs on all three of my firesticks.  I have tried restarting the firestick, clearing the cache, various audio settings, but nothing worked.  I think that a software fix to the app is what is needed to fix this problem, because I think every other possibility has been eliminated

XfinityAldrik - At this point, I think that it is clear that there is a bug in the firetv version of the Xfinity TV app that was introduced in a recent update.  There are a large number of people commenting with the same issue - recorded programs that display fine on Xfinity TV boxes and the stream app on other devices display on the fire TV version of the app with audio and video that is out of sync by several seconds.  I have also tested numerous other apps with streaming content on the fire TV device and there are no issues with anything other than the xfinity beta app.  Is the development team aware of the issue and working on a solution?

We have the same problem with our firestick and it is only getting worse lately! I am

[Edit: Language] bc it was an xfinity rep who had me turn in my box to save money and I can’t stand it anymore! I need the box back. The app is terrible.

I have the exact same problem no matter where I use the app!

I tried it on two different fire sticks, my cell phone, and my tablet; there's always an audio delay!

Hello, @deputylynch. I'm sorry to hear that you are having audio syncing issues. Have you by any chance attempted to pause and then rewind the movie/program for a few seconds to sync the audio with the picture? This has happened to me and I've been able to resync the audio with what I'm watching by completing this simple work around.

 

If you have not attempted this, please give that a try and let me know if the issue persist after doing so. I would be more than happy to troubleshoot on my end to help resolve this problem with you.

Same!  This issue started a couple of weeks ago.  Tonight, I watched recording of 911 on Firestick, it had the lag.  Switched to Roku was fine for a while but the lag kicked in.  Very frustrating. When will there be a solution?  I don't have a cable box.  Went streaming only and was fine until two weeks ago.

I see the person above mentioned that a Comcast rep suggested not needing a box and using firestick; this is exactly what happened to me. I've had problems with syncing on recordings for a while, but it's gotten to the point that NO recordings are watchable to me anymore. A second off is irritating but at this point it's amazing, some are 3-5, it's unbelievable. I basically have to listen to the sound and look up every once in a while so I have some frame of reference. I don't understand how Comcast justifies the insane amount of money we pay for this awful service.

Same issue for me as well. Please release a new fire stick app. Recording unusable when audio is not synced.
