Deleted recordings persist on DVR list in streaming app

I have 2 deleted recordings that persist on the DVR list when viewed from the Xfinity Streaming app even though the recordings are indeed deleted and cannot be played.  This occurs on all devices (iphone, Roku) where I use the streaming app.  I otherwise have no issues with deleting recordings, from the app, and the DVR list on devices that are connected to a cable box is correct.  I have logged out/in from the app to no avail.  It’s like the database maintaining the DVR list is corrupted in a way that impacts the streaming app.

I have found a work around. After hitting delete, go back in to it again and delete it again when it’s displayed by itself. Weird I know but this works for now. I also noticed it is listed in the deleted folder and recordings folder after the first attempt.

it temporarily deletes by clicking the X. But bringing large box up and clicking delete it is still in saved list.

None of the workarounds mentioned above work for me.  A few weeks ago I saw a recording removed from the list but then it just came back.  I’ve never seen the recordings in the delete folder, just on the list.  I also tried deleting and reinstalling the Xfinity app but they made no difference.

Anyone ever try calling support?  If not I can try but otherwise won’t bother.  Even if they won’t fix the app they should be able to fix the database.

I didn’t call because I’ve had a lot going on with my xfinity the past few months and it takes hours per call. I only stream and don’t rent their boxes and they say that’s the issue but I know it’s not.

I tried online support. They are clueless.

Hi, @user_7mgy20 and thread! We appreciate all the troubleshooting steps and answers to our questions that you all provided! Our engineering team has moved this to a known issue so no further steps are needed at this time. The Xfinity Stream app is not syncing properly with the X1 service causing the recordings to show back up. We will keep an eye on this and update the thread when we get further news. Thanks for your patience in the meantime!

@XfinityRay​ you mentioned X1, but these complaints are mostly about streaming app.

Same issue.  iPhone 14 w/latest iOS. Recordings from 10/27 through today are not deleting!  All published workarounds/fixes DO NOT WORK.

Howdy user_c1co6r 👋 I appreciate you taking the time to let us know what's been going on with deleted recordings still appearing for you on the Xfinity Stream app, and can definitely understand how puzzling that'd be! Since you mentioned that this is occurring on all devices, it may have to do with your account's entitlements in our backend which would require some further investigation on our part. If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the full service address associated with your account, we'd be happy to dig deeper into this for you 👍

 

To send a Direct Message, please click on the “Direct Message” icon in the top-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon, click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon, then type or select "Xfinity Support". Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window and press Enter to send your message and initiate a live session.

@XfinitySeth​ Xfinity Ray says this is now a know issue. So not about one customer.

I am having the same problem. The recordings are "phantom" recordings in that the titles show in My Library, but the recordings are not really there. When I attempt to delete, I get a message saying they are deleted, but the titles remain. They, however, cannot be watched. This is only a problem on the Streaming app on my phone. My recordings on my TV are fine.
