DVR recordings do not show desktop computer or mobile streaming app, but do on TV set top box/TV
I have spent an hour on each of the last two days with a "tech". Neither can solve the problem of DVR recordings nor showing up on stream apps (desktop computer or mobile). Both have said I will get a follow up call since they could not solve the problem. Yesterday, I did not get the call; we'll see if I get one today.
Further, after the gyrations the tech put me through, I cannot even sign on to my mobile streaming app (Samsung S20). I can only get there on my browser. (xfinity.com/stream).
I have the distinct feeling that the whole web infrastructure on Comcast is a just a patchwork and it is in chaos. Time to leave if they cannot get their act together.

@user_245284 We do appreciate you taking the time to make this post and outline the issues you have been running into with your recordings. We want to ensure that you are able to enjoy your content not matter how you are accessing it, so we'll make sure to get this working. You mentioned that you are not able to sign in with the Xfinity Stream app. Can you share more on what issues you are having when trying to use the app?
When it comes to being able to view recordings on the Xfinity Stream app, or online via the Stream web portal, you are only able to see recordings that are saved within your Cloud DVR. Are you able to see any recordings at all online, or are none showing at all? Were you able to see your recordings before and now they are gone, or did they never show up in the first place?

Similar problem here. I have only cloud service for DVR. After a year or so with no issues I cannot view recordings or recording schedules consistently in the iOS app or Fire tv app. I have 2 iPhones and 3 Fire TVs. It is intermittent on all devices. I can see recordings on my PC and am currently streaming to my TV from this to watch recordings. I’ve spent over 5 hours on the phone with billing and various levels of tech support. Still waiting for a call back from a tier 3. Just terrible service.

I'm having the opposite problem. I can see all my recordings from the web app (most of the time) and only a few from the DVR.
For what it's worth, I think this problem started when I stored a recording for over a year. (never did get around to watching that) After that recording was deleted due to age, I started to see issues. The app and DVR were out of sync and both tended to be flaky. The app/DVR would show a few things, then later would show them all.
I am speculating that when the file was deleted on age, it broke the database.
My plan is to delete all recordings. Then contact Xfinity and see if there is a reset that can be done to get me back to a clean state.
