Recordings from X1 DVR not showing on stream app or website

I see lots of similar issues posted but no definitive solution. We have a bunch of recordings on our X1 DVR, but only a small number are on the Stream App. The ones from the stream app are from one show, and not the latest recordings. It’s like it stopped syncing. 

I have checked on multiple devices, iPhone, iPad, Fire TV, and stream website, and they all are missing the recordings. 

what can we do to get the recordings synced to the stream app?

I am having the same issue and we need a real solution or we should all switch to a different cable provider.

user_o3v0ou I am sorry to hear you are having troubles with your DVR shows not showing on the stream App. Have you already tried to log out and log back into the Xfinity stream App?

I have the same issue. 
many recordings that are available on the DVR do not show in the Xfinity Stream app on my iPhone and iPad. 
I logged out and then logged in. Same issue. 
as your an tell there are many others report the same issue. Plz provide a real solution!

My problem is similar, but not the same.  Our DVR and the Xfinity stream app both show the same recordings, but my Xfinity TV remote app (on my iPad) shows many more recordings that are not on the DVR or the Stream app.

How many people have to report the same issue before Xfinity does something? Seems like the only solution is to get a new service.

I've had the same issue for at least 6 months. Clearly Xfinity has major software bugs and either doesn't care or doesn't know how to fix it.  

pushing me to finally cut the cord for TV, I really have no other choice for high-speed Internet, which is unfortunate

Do any solutions ever get posted?  Or does everyone just get sent to private chat?  No, really!  Some of us are just sitting & waiting for the answers to actually go public...   Some of us do not want to go as far as chatting.  Why have people look here for answers, just give us more work and hassle?  I understand privacy, & sensitive information.

Just create one button - "Have a problem?  Click here to chat, sign an NDA that you will never tell a soul the answer, and then we'll consider fixing it." 

Forums, all questions - zero answers.

Update on the problem. I was working with advanced tech support and they told me I needed to increase my storage on dvr for $10. I thought it was ridiculous because I was only 40% full but told them I would try it if they gave me a $10 credit for the month to see if it worked and it did!  The only problem I have now is occasionally when I have to sign back in after updating my phone or for some other reason it signs me out, all of my downloads return to the recordings library. Before they used to go back to the DVR and would no longer be on the stream recordings library but at least I can re-download them even though it’s a pain

if that's the solution to the problem, then they need to give it to everybody for free,

Better than nothing I suppose, maybe for you, but certainly not perfect. And 10 Xtra per month?  Don't think so. They could havHHe just suggested a new DVR.

It is about storage in the cloud. Nothing to do with DVR

OK, I hear you - do you have a fix? If so, please share. The percentage is 21% showing on my recording list on TV.

Xfinity streaming does not show all DVR recordings only some of them. When will Xfinity solve this problem? Many many many people are frustrated because of this. The cloud percentage showing is only 21%. Why doesn’t Xfinity fix this problem? Are they in denial?

I posted on here a few months ago with the same or similar problem. I finally found something that said the streaming app only will hold a very small percentage of the recordings that are on your actual DVR. I don’t think it is going to change soon. Also, I have issues with downloads being returned to DVR as well as my app only showing a black screen sometimes. For all of these reasons I have finally given up on Xfinity and trying YouTube TV for 3 for three weeks. If I like it, I’m cancelling xfinity. I’m so tired of dealing with them. I’ve been on the phone or chat with them for hours and they are never able to fix anything. Last post. Best of luck to all of you with these issues with Xfinity.

I’m right there with you. I’m trying to get somebody on the phone is even more frustrating with their automated system. I’ll be canceling my Xfinity account as soon as possible

@user_ohjg0r We would hate to see you go, and would love the chance to work with you to resolve any concerns you have! If you are having the same issues with your recordings, have you followed the steps/information on the first page of this thread for more insight on possible causes?

This has been an issue for well over a year.  They know about it and refuse to fix it.  It's not a cloud storage issue, and it's not a "stream app on hold a few recordings" issue.  All of this is complete [Edited: Language].  I know because I have two accounts at two separate locations with the same services.  One accounts works fine on the streaming app, and one started with this issue over a year ago.  I have spent hours on chats and phone.  No solution.  It also will tell me I am recording too many things at once, which is also wrong.  It is totally random on what it decides to allows me to see on the app.  Like I said, same thing at two different locations on tow separateaccounts... one works fine.  The other used to work fine, and then all of the sudden out of the blue well over a year ago, this randomly started.  No resolution.   It HAS to be a coding issue or glitch on their end.  It's ridiculous.

Very frustrating for sure. It was making me crazy. All I know is that in my particular case it was working fine and then  because the plan I was under expired, I called to get a new plan and in their efforts to save me money, they took me off of the extra cloud space. After that all of my problems started. Now that I have added it back it’s fine. Advanced tech-support has been calling me and from what I can understand is that on your DVR it tells you the space you have left on that DVR but you do not know what your space is in the cloud because apparently the standard plan does not have much space. in any case, I am hoping that it continues to work because it’s been perfect for weeks. There could definitely be multiple problems out there. Just glad mine is working now because I use it all the time. Maybe it’s a matter finding the right tech. Don’t know, but, if it goes awry again, I will be sure to come back here and post that. Hope this information helps some.  Best wishes everyone!

Thank you for your response.  Like you, I could not figure out WHY it was happening.  Glad to know I'm not crazy.

@Longlegslouise I'm not sure if you saw the reply from @user_b68085, they had mentioned after working with advanced repair that the fix was there wasn't enough cloud storage space available for all the recordings to show in the Xfinity Stream App. Upgrading storage helped fix the issue as they were able to see recordings they couldn't previously. 

Here was there update from 18 days ago: Update on the problem. I was working with advanced tech support and they told me I needed to increase my storage on dvr for $10. I thought it was ridiculous because I was only 40% full but told them I would try it if they gave me a $10 credit for the month to see if it worked and it did!  The only problem I have now is occasionally when I have to sign back in after updating my phone or for some other reason it signs me out, all of my downloads return to the recordings library.

The issue is all the popular channels/shows (like TLC, etc) won't allow downloading.   I don't know why comcast/xfinity won't be honest about that.

I too, after months of frustration, learnt that when I changed down to the "Popular Package", they quietly lowered my cloud storage to 20 hours!!!! So an advanced tech told me that both my DVR (which has a huge capacity of over 200hours) and Cloud save programs simultaneously, but after the 20 hours in the cloud gets filled, it stops, and you only see the latest recordings that add up to 20 measely hours!!! Bottom line, I had to enroll in their $10/month "DVR Services" charge to increase the cloud capacity to over 200 hours (I think). Xfinity SNEAKED THIS IN is the bottom line.

I have had this same DVR problem for several weeks now and can’t bear the thought of torturing myself to try to speak to someone in support, which seems from these many threads that there is no solution.   This must be fixed for the money Xfinity charges!! My recorded shows randomly come and go… makes no sense.   For those of you that maybe haven’t tried to change your view at the very top from RECENT to ALL.  I am sure you have tried this but it doesn’t work for me to fix the problem. No rhyme or reason to when and why I get to see all of my shows
FIX THIS!!  Please

Hi, @user_ajyqf5. Some users here reported that they were running into trouble due to storage, which was resolved after making some adjustments. Do you have traditional DVR or the 20 hours of cloud DVR included with your service?

I am having the same issue also one day all my episodes were erased and since nothing that says it’s recording doesn’t show up on the app. This is totally a deal breaker especially being in the hospital not being able to see my shows or depend on the service is a total rip off with no solutionz

I am sorry to hear you are in the hospital @20_years and you are unable to watch your shows. I have been in and out of the hospital a lot lately with my wife being pregnant so I understand with hospital TV having your phone to watch TV is much better. Have you tried to have someone sync the DVR at home? If you hit the Xfinity button on the remote and select the gear symbol you would then go to settings, device and scroll to the bottom of the list where it says sync DVR.

For the 100th time synch DVR does not resolve the issue.  Xfinity needs to listen to your customers and fix the problem before we all cancel our service.

Thanks for your comment, user_feg4k4. To confirm, are you experiencing a similar issue? Some customers found a solution by upgrading the DVR storage. Have you tried that?

Same issue. I am a retired senior field engineering manager for the company that provides most of the DVRs and home routers in the US. My team and I supported CPE (customer premise equipment) for major US service providers, including Comcast/Xfinity.

I am done, unsuccessfully, troubleshooting this issue and will be moving to a provider that can support providing full access to recorded programs via remote, mobile devices (as I travel a lot).

I finally solved it - you have to subscribe to cloud storage with xfinity for $10/month - now I am synced with the local and remote DVR for ALL my recordings - they quietly limited my cloud storage without telling me when they sold me the cheaper package, then I find out later what they did. I admit defeat, had to cough up $10/mo to solve the problem. Good luck in your situation.

Thank you for your feedback, user_e613e4. This isn't the experience we want; we'd appreciate the opportunity to help. If you press the Xfinity button on the remote control and select Saved on the main menu, then choose Recordings to view all programs that have been recorded, does it show your recorded programs there?
