Xfinity Stream App - Difficulty with Recordings Playing

Throughout the past several months, I have not been able to watch certain tv recordings via the Xfinity Stream app. The recording will start playing for a few minutes, then the picture will freeze, but the audio will continue. Sometimes it is a few minutes into the recording, sometimes it is halfway through the recording. It does not appear to be a specific channel issue, as the same issue arises no matter when/from which channel it is recorded. I have no issue watching the recordings via my tv, but the app continues to have major issues. I have deleted the app and redownloaded, but the issue still remained. I tried downloading the recording, but the issue still remained. I have restarted the mobile device, and again, the issue was still there.

Additionally, the customer support sections on xfinity.com do not address this issue. I tried chatting with support, but it appears that support is not set up to address the app issues, only internet and tv boxes.

Hello, @sglackin! Thank you for creating a post about your Xfinity Stream App concerns. I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you've had with those recordings, and I would love to see what we can do to resolve this! First, may I ask what kind of mobile device you've been using to access the app (i.e. smartphone, tablet, etc.), as well as its specifications (approximate age, make, and model)? Thanks in advance!

I don’t use any other devices, such as other iPhones or iPads. We have tv boxes and it isn’t an issue with the tv boxes.

Hey there, @user_g60oar! I am sorry to hear you are having troubles with your recordings on your iPad and Apple TV. Just to confirm, all the devices are fully updated? Have you deleted the App and installed it again?
