Xfinity Stream App Not Opening/Loading

This has been extremely frustrating. I pay a significant amount for Xfinity, yet the streaming app constantly fails to load, goes to a black screen, or gets stuck in a loopplaying the same commercial repeatedly.

I’ve tried every troubleshooting step possible…logging in and out, restarting the TV, reinstalling the app, and even running diagnostic tests through the main Xfinity app. Everything indicated that my internet connection and TV are working perfectly fine! Also, I double checked and the streaming app works without issue on my phone, so this seems to be a problem specific to the TV app itself.

Xfinity really needs to address and fix these ongoing bugs and inconsistencies. It’s unacceptable to pay this much and still be unable to reliably watch what I’m paying for. I’m highly dissatisfied with the performance and reliability of the streaming app.

Were you able to find a solution? I'm having difficulty getting Xfinity stream to consistently load from my Samsung TV. The app works fine from our phones, tablets, laptops, and also from other TV's using a Roku device. I've done a soft reboot, unplugged the Samsung TV for 60 seconds, cleared cache and data, removed the app and reinstalled it, reset smarthub, etc. After each of these measures, the app will eventually load successfully, but only once. Xfinity customer support tells me that it's a Samsung issue, but I don't experience this problem with any other apps on the TV.

I have to uninstall the Xfinity stream app and then reinstall on the TV then it works, but after turning TV off, I have to go through the same process again 😢, if no fix soon, I'll be going back to YouTube TV.

So aggravating. I have 2 new Smart TVs and downloaded the xfinity stream app to both. And I spent multiple days on the phone to get it resolved. I un installed them, reinstalled them - rebooted the modem . It’s [Edited: "Language"]. Spend too much money to never know if the xfinity apps are going to work. Keep seeing Verizon trucks around and will most likely be switching to Fios. I’ve wasted so much time on the phone troubleshooting- they should be paying me. I don’t have issues with the other apps. The Xfinity Stream app [Edited: "Language"].
