Xfinity Stream APP stopped working a week ago

What's been happening for the past week:  The app (Xfinity Stream on my iPhone 14) connects successfully with my LG TV every time.  But when I tap "Watch" on a show, it looks like streaming is about to start (the scrub bar shows, the 'downloading' circle is active, but the show never starts.  After a couple of minutes, the app says "ERROR" with no error code or explanation about the error.  On a couple of occasions it said "Just Watched" on the app, and both of those times it was a brand new recording that I had not watched (or even started watching) at all.

What I've done so far:  

Unplugged and rebooted the TV - made sure it is connected to the internet.

Rebooted my iPhone

Made sure both iPhone and the LG TV are both up to date with software.

Rebooted the modem/router

Uninstalled and reinstalled the Xfinity stream app.

Tested streaming from the Xfinity Stream app on my up-to-date iPad and same problem.  Connection, but no streaming success.

Any other suggestions?  Streaming was working well prior to about a week ago.

I have been having the same issue for a few weeks now. Was there any success fixing the issue or is it an issue with the app itself?

Never got an answer here. I’ve been using workarounds…

I lost the ability to watch Live TV or stream on demand through the app about four days ago. A tech showed up and after about two hours of head scratching and trying to figure out why I was getting internet but no TV service through the stream app, he decided to disconnect my Netgear CM600 router and connect a new Xfinity router. Finally, I had TV service again on all my devices. Go to find out through a rep on Reddit that was following up with me, he told me my modem was end of life. I went to Xfinity website to look at compatible modems and no longer see my modem. I had no idea this was about to happen, but had been waiting for the day that it finally failed me and I wasn't able to get internet or anything. For the next week, I will have to rent the Xfinity modem until my Arris S33 gets here.
