Hello @user_a572bb! Thank you so much for reaching out to us here via our Forums platform. I hope this finds you well. Can you let us know exactly which channels you are experiencing issues with? Also to confirm, this is not the Xfinity Flex box right, but an Amazon Firestick?

@ComcastSelena Hi Selina.  I am getting the error on both of my Amazon Firesticks on all channels/all services on the Firestick App..  Both are the Newest Firesticks - 4k.  I Have reset the firestick and redownloaded the app.  WHat is odd is that it was working pwerfect for more than 60 days...

I also have gotten the same error twice within the last month on all my Firesticks.  Eventually, only the TV-GO channels will connect, but it takes a long time (30-60 seconds).  When in this state, I also get a similar error when trying to select channels with a Chromebook.  All other apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) on the Firestick work fine.  Both times, the only way I was able to resolve this was by rebooting the Xfinity gateway.  The Xfinity Stream app version on the Firestick is 6.9.0.016.

Getting the same error again today on all the Firesticks.

As mentioned earlier (FWIW), if the channel selected on the Firestick has a "TV GO" equivalent, it will connect to it after 30-60 seconds. 

When trying to access via a Chromebook, I get a "Attempting to Resume" message, followed by a "This video cannot be played" error.  Clicking on the "diagnostics" button does nothing.

Again, rebooting the Xfinity gateway corrects the issue.
