Getting error message: Upgrade failure. Please restart the application

Receiving this message when launching the Xfinity Stream App on all of my TVs.   I have a mix of Samsung and LG TVs and am using the Firestick 4k+ for streaming.  If I exit the error and launch again it will work, but the error returns next time I turn on the TV and launch.    I have cleared data and cache from the app but still get the error.

I’m also having the same problem which just started about 4-5 days ago. Keep getting Failure to Update message on Xfinity Stream app with 2 Firesticks. A third Firestick will only display channels as TV Go even though I am on my home network. The only Xfinity Stream app that is working correctly for me is the one on my phone. It appears that the problem is specific to Firestick. I’ve tried all the fixes and none of them work. The problem is with Xfinity and they need to get this fixed soon or I will have no choice but to change my TV provider.

2 fire TV's and 3 Firesticks on multiple brand TV's. All of them having the issue. Cleared cache, cleared data, deleted and re-installed app. Same problem still exists.  Waste of time until Comcast gets around to fixing the app.

I keep seeing posts from Xfinity asking for information about the errors. It’s all in the thread - all they need to do is READ it!

Doesn’t that drive you nuts !  I might be wrong but I half believe they’re bots doing the Xfinity replies and not real people.  How else could you explain that 😉

Same issue here on fire stick.  We went as far as I installing and reinstalling.  When we get the error prompt, we're able to exit and then start the app again.  Everytime we shut off tv/firestick error comes back.  Big

Same issue. 2 Fire TV's, tried all the "fixes" and the issue persists every day for over a week.

For everyone following this post.  I just turned on my TV / Firestick and it showed there was a new update for the Xfinity app being downloaded.  We’ll see if it works or not.  Maybe this post and the follow-on comments  here forced them in to doing something.  It’s interesting that none of the Xfinity reps replying to comments in this post, told us that they were releasing a new update to the app and to see if that fixed the problem.  Just goes to show you how disjointed their Support services are 😉

Issue occurs on ALL my TV’s that use Fire stick. Began about 3-4 days ago. ALL TV’s have latest software and I have performed all troubleshooting maintenance. The problem still exists and the solution is what has been mentioned earlier….. Xfinity needs to UPDATE the software.
