SAVED MOVIES NOT APPEARING IN APP

Have had this problem for awhile, well over a year, but I didn't address it sooner because I rarely use the app.  The problem is that the movies I have saved as favorites in 'My List' do not show up in the app, only via the cable box, and this started before the app was even a thing.  The television shows I have saved as favorites in 'My List' do appear in the app, but the movies do not.  I've tried marking movies as a favorite via the app but they do not appear in the app either.

Greetings Vando22,

Thank you so much for reaching out! There can be some specifics related to network and broadcasting agreements with some content. There can be preferences in place by the production company, studio or agency that is controlling the content to have it set for in-home viewing only. Certain content is cleared for viewing anywhere from any connection, I was curious, are you on your home Wi-Fi when you attempt to access? If you are away from home is typically when the content would not be accessible.

@XfinityThomasB​ I do not currently have Wi-Fi therefore I am always at home when checking it out.  I should have addressed this sooner, but since I am always viewing it at home there wasn't much of a pressing issue since the box is what I use anyways.  Still, it does not seem right that all of the television series are available for viewing in the app but none of the 400+ movies I have saved even appear, there's not even a listing for movies under 'My List.'

@Vando22 On your TV remote, can you press "A" and find the setting to refresh your box? I would like to see if that will help push these saved movies to your profile.

That did nothing. 

It has been like this for over a year and I've done more than a few refreshes in that time.  This is just very strange as the saved tv series, recorded movies, and purchased movies all still appear in the app yet none of the 450+ movies saved as favorites appear in the app on any device, they only appear via the cable box.  There is little regarding this specific issue anywhere online. 

I was in contact with an online agent today, they said they did some type of complete refresh of the account that took well over an hour as the progress was measured in percentages, and then they had me unplug the box which also did nothing to fix this issue.  They then opened a ticket and escalated the issue and said I would be contacted in 60 minutes, that was about six hours ago.
