 Hey there,@user_64113b, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding your playback issues! We would be happy to help with troubleshooting! I know how important it is to be able to stream through the app as it is my favorite way to watch my shows on the go. Are you getting the error when you are trying to watch a specific program?

I am having the same issue on my One Plus 8 5G. The app was working fine then all of a sudden all I get is "Playback Issue 2111 Error 3" no matter what channel I try.

Morning @mryrmy, I understand you are having play back issues. Are you using the latest IOS? When did this issue  start?

I have a Toshiba Fire Streaming TV — using the Xfinity App (beta) to play channels.

All channels via the App are not viewable. TV is new, and the App was working for 6 days. On the 7th day, this error occurred and I'm getting nothing.

The error states :

Playback Issue: 2111 

We're sorry but we're unable to play this video right now. Please try a different channel or program.

Error 3 

Is there a fix for this in the works?

Or is there a way to fix this that I can try? I am seeing a lot of this issue posted in these forums but I have yet to see any solution to the issue.

I expected some bugs for sure — it clearly is a BETA version, but your error messages completely lack relevant detail, and theirs no guide to the error system language I can find.

Any info about this issue would be most welcome.

To All With the Playback Issue 2111 Error 3 problem:

While randomly trying different things, I just accidentally fixed the issue on my One Plus 8 5G Android phone by clearing the cache on the xfinity Stream app. I did not clear the storage. 

At no time during all my many hours communicating with Comcast/xfinity did they ask me to perform this simple procedure!!??

I have the same issue on my one plus issue 2111. Can't stream live channels, recorded content is fine and my peacock is fine too. Tried clearing cashes and all the basic stuff nothing helps.

Welcome to our community forum, @sherifsheroo! Thank you for reaching out to us about the playback error you're getting. Are you experiencing this issue on more than one device? Do you see the error when using the stream site as well or just the app?
