App error TVAPP-00287 on Roku

I haven't been able to find ANY reference online to this app error. You would think Xfinity would have it in their list or search. Yes, it's TVAPP-00287 .

As with many other error codes, it says "Video cannot be played." This started happening off and on a few months ago. I noticed that the app updated on a few devices from the black icon with white letters to a purple icon. I figured they must have fixed the problem with an update as it's working with the update on at least one tv.  However, it completely stopped working on another (different brand) once you try to select anything whether from the guide or Saved and such. It buffers for a long time then gives this message here and video error. It's ALWAYS  TV-APP-00287. 

Then, it wouldn't work on a Roku Ultra attached to a different tv. This one had been having problems off and on also.

I went so far as to not just restart the Hisense Roku tv but also remove the app then restart. After relinking the account, the problem is still the same. I am considering Factory Reset on the Hisense Roku TV.  HOWEVER, since removing/installing the app affects all Roku devices, it reinstalled on the Roku Ultra attached to a different tv.  That one has the same problem now. I DID factory reset the Ultra, reinstalled the app as happens once the account is linked, and tried again. THE SAME ERROR appears when I actually try to watch something on the Xfinity app.  It is now USELESS for Xfinity.   I don't know how it has continued to work on yet another device (TCL Roku tv) that streams through the app. It sometimes has the problem. Typically, a restart fixes it as it mostly did on the other devices prior to the app update.

I have another Ultra device I'm reluctant to turn on and try as well as an already slow Roku streamer.

NOTE: the Roku tv and Ultra device do work with every other app. Streaming on those isn't a problem, and my wifi connection is Excellent.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?  I have no use for Xfinity tv if this is their modus operandi.

Downdetector shows over 3000 Comcast complaints about streaming in the past 1/2 hour.   Looks like wait and see when Comcast will fix the problem.

I have a cable box AND Roku, can’t watch the game in either via Xfinity. I literally can’t watch channel 5. All other channels work ok (meh, they’re glitchy) on cable box, and apps work on cable box and Roku BESIDES Xfinity app.

@user_1591fd​  Connect your laptop via your phone using 5G, then use Xfinity via the browser...it works...

The issue?  Network completely overloaded....not enough resources to stream so many customers...!!!

As mentioned, open PEACOCK (free) and watch game thru that.

What a joke. I cancelled Hulu live because of my Roku not working correctly after an update. Now I’m using my Samsung smart TV to stream Hulu so my partner can watch SNF. 

The Steam app is working on iPhone and iPad but not Samsung or ROKU but not on every channel. 

The only reason I’m using streaming is because I was sent a third defective box last week. 

Im probably going to cancel after this and go back to Hulu even with the price increase.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out @user_0cf8c6. We want you to be able to enjoy your shows and features that come with our services and having a consistent error can really hinder those moments. What type of device are you seeing this error on, is it through the Xfinity Stream application or another feature? Do you see the issue on multiple shows/networks or a specific one?

Same thing happens to me as well, streaming is not working with laptop nor Roku. Called xfinity but wait time is 5300+ minutes for an agent. I guess everyone is calling them now.

Same thing here. I just called directtv today. Looks like it maybe time for a switch. I could at least get altitude to watch the Avs that way.

I've determined our channels 430 through 440 do not work in the app.

ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox are are having the save error code - well, first it was tvapp-00206, then 000230, then 00267 and now it is back to 00206.

Other channels work - HIST, CNN, Bravo…

Other apps work. I deleted the Xfinity app from my Roku, signed back in. Same issue.

@user_397efe​ Connect your TV via your phone.  User the TV browser to go to Xfinity and do stream there. That works fine...!  Xfinity network issue...
