When is Xfinity going to fix streaming in the Chrome browser?!?

Xfinity... You need to stop ignoring your customers and fix this problem!  This is something definitely wrong with not being able to stream within Chrome.  It worked for years, then it stopped.  You need to stop telling us to clear cache, blah blah blah!  You need to stop telling us to enable flash!  Flash is no longer used in Chrome and hasn't been for over 2 years.  So get off your butts and finally fix this issue!!!

@XfinityJamie​ WHY DON"T YOU POST THE SOLUTION HERE FOR EVERYONE? This is not a one-off and a single user has issues. NO ONE CAN STREAM IN CHROME. Provide a solution publicly please. Or admit that you don't have one and are failing your customers -- also publicly. Chrome is the preferred browser for most people - why doesn't it work anymore? This is a new issue - not flash. Fix it and let people know!!!

@XfinityJamie​ I've been saying the same thing now for at least a week even though the issue has been going on longer. It not just Chrome but Microsoft Edge, as well.

I did what @XfinityChristopher recommended, which is the same you recommended to @rachelws87), contacted xfinity Support and have not heard back from anyone. How long should a "Direct Message" response take? A solution to this major problem should be posted for all xfinity customers. 

I understand your policy is to refrain from Bold and all Caps messages but Xfinity Support appears to have no sense of urgency this problem nor are you taking us, your paying customers, seriously. 

Where will we have to go next to get the spotlight on this problem? Public Relations? 

And just to be clear, I am not a Visitor and have had Xfinity for 6 years.

I am sorry to hear this has been such a frustrating experience for you @user_3e183d. We appreciate the work you have put into getting this resolved and truly understand this must be causing you a major headache. Our team wants nothing more than to fix this up for you. 

 

I have responded to your direct message (over 30 min. ago) and look forward to working with you in that setting. 

 

As far as posting a solution for the Forum public. Your situation is usually fixed up with an entitlement refresh signal along with a modem provision/firmware update. Since we need you account information to send the signals, we would need to speak with you in the private setting (for your security). 

 

Your loyalty to Comcast is very much appreciated. Thank you for being with us over 6 years. You're awesome!

I do understand wanting and needing to know a resolution with the Xfinity Stream issue on the Chrome browser, @rachelws87.

At this point there are several possibilities of why Xfinity Stream may not be working on Chrome for you. If there is an error code, that will provide additional details. I also know that with recent updates, devices may not have the most updated version of Chrome too. Have you had the opportunity to visit https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/reset-google-chrome-browser to reset the Chrome browser yet?

What is the solution?   I've been done everything in the above reply.....  It's been weeks and I've gotten nothing accomplished.  It's not me or any individual thing, it's something on Xfinity's side.  I keep hearing the samething with no results.

Come'on xfinity... stop jerking us around!  We've done everything you've said would resolve the issue, yet it still persists.  Stop suggesting we reset Chrome or clearing out cache and history, and calling support for our modems to be reprovisioned!  There are NO errors you get a constant splash screen with 3 dots going back and forth.

Fix it!

@user_4701ed. The latest progress is that Vizio has to work with Google on the fix and we are waiting on that. If I find a public reference I will relay it.

This is crazy!  Xfinity has done nothing about this!  They say the same [Edited: "Language"] and keep pushing off that they are working on it.  Just flat out tell us that you decided not to provide the service anymore......  why keep this game going???

What is the status of fixing this Xfinity issue??  It's been over 6 months!  It was working fine for years....   if this is something Xfinity turned off, let us know!  I'm sure it's a way to charge even more money to get it work!  Which is not right!

@user_4701ed Hello and good morning, and thank you for reaching back out. I am so sorry to hear that you are still experiencing these awful ongoing issues with your Google Chrome browser not working properly. In looking at the status of the resolution from Google, they are still working hard to get to the bottom of this, and you can view the most updated information regarding their progress here https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/265178174. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help in the meantime, and we look forward to this getting resolved once and for all! -Christopher

@XfinityChristopher Have you not even read my post at ALL?!?  The Google issue you posted the link for is related to ChromeCAST not Chrome BROWSER!  For all that barely good in this world, GET YOUR TECHNOLOGIES STRAIGHT!  The Google link you posted is titled:  "Casting session disconnects automatically on Vizio Chromecast Model number V505-J09".

Stop putting the blame on some other company and fix your issue!
