We struck up a convo and he told me that it would be available for the Firestick in January 2019. Don’t know how true it is but I have my fingers crossed. I will definitely check out XFinity Stream again once it is available on Amazon FireTV!   Thanks for the info. ... View more

@clearsky wrote: As of the last week of April, I am no longer encountering this DRM-3 error. From what I can determine, in the third week of April, Comcast installed a new version, 2.4.7, of the Xfinity Stream application on the Roku platform. Also, from what I can determine, the applications on the Roku platform automatically install / update themselves. I didn't use the Xfinity Stream application that week, but when I started using it the last week of April, I noticed minor changes to the application's layout.  I checked the version number in the "settings" area, and saw it was version 2.4.7.  There is a post from January 22, 2018, on this thread stating the version (at that time) was 2.3, build 2. My conclusion is the DRM-3 error issue is resolved in the 2.4.7 version (at least it's resolved for me). Clearsky,   This is good news! I am glad to hear development is moving along. We really liked the idea of XFinity Stream, and want to come back when we know significant strides have been made. By your observations and feedback, it sounds like we are on that path.   Now, I would love to hear some info about the Stream app being available for Amazon Fire TV!   Thank you again for the update! I will continue to monitor these forums for more info. ... View more

No, because logging out and removing the app were not part of ComcastJessie's instructions on how to clear the problem. I am not sure what the 'dongle from all cables' means either. I assume you meant unplug the HDMI cable from the ROKU device.   However, after I posted, I watched for another 90 or so minutes and didn't have any more DRM-3 problems. I am currently done watching any shows again until this evening. ... View more

The app doesn't cause the error, it is reporting the shutdown of the encrypted data video stream.  Rustyben,   Thank you for the reply. While I appreciate your thoughts on what is happening when DRM-3 errors occur, here is what I am having a hard time understanding:   You state ' the DRM-3 is the app letting you know the hardware is shutting down the stream due to hardware DHCP handshake failure on the HDMI path.' That is fine, but if that is the case, it is ONLY happening with the XFinity Stream TV app on our equipment. From day one, and via several other pervious devices, we have NEVER had any DRM-3, or any other communication errors, on our streaming devices, Roku or otherwise. Nothing on Nextflix, Amazon Prime, Crackle, Vudu, YouTube, none at all! Nothing on a free movie, or a paid movie or show. Zero errors ever.   Even when using the Discovery GO app, AMC app, or History app, we NEVER have any DRM-3 errors. This ONLY happens with the XFinity Stream TV app on Roku. So, you can see why I have a hard time believing it is a 'hardware' issue and not a problem with the XFinity Stream app.   And, my statement you previously quoted clearly states we even did the typical 'unplug the power/replug the power' and we still could not clear the DRM-3 errors on 1/1/2018 or 1/2/2018, yet we watched shows on Amazon Prime those nights on the same Roku with zero issues.   Again, I will say this really seems to be a problem initiated by the Xfinity Stream app on Roku, not the hardware itself. Perhaps the Xfinity software has a memory leak, or some other programming defect, and the app 'crashes', causing the DRM-3 to occur? I am only speculating, but the facts definitely point to the Xfinity app, at least in my case. If you log out of the app, uninstall it, remove the roku from power and any connection it has on HDMI for 30 seconds or more then plug it all back in and reinstall the app and log in the DRM-3 error will go away. If it continues to instantly come back swap out the HDMI cable first (easies) and if necessary change the HDMI port the device plugs into.  You clearly are not reading the details of each post I make, but again, I appreciate your attempts to help folks here. I've already changed out the HDMI cable, as well as done everything else here recommended, time and time again. I have even posted info from Comcast Admins themselves affirming DRM-3 problems from the Roku beta app. There is more going on here than just a hardware problem with people's Rokus, HDMI cables, and TV's HDMI ports.   In the meantime, I will keep hoping Comcast will get the Roku app out of beta ASAP so we Roku users can have a much more pleasant and stable experience than we are having now. I want to see the Roku app perform like the XFinity Stream Android app or XFinity Stream web player, or any other app such as Netflix, Discovery GO, or HBO Now. None of these other products have any issue, likely because they are not in beta. but did you follow the steps you replied to in the post? if that doesn't work you will need to contact your TV manufacturer for assistance in hardware. you could easily prove this if you can borrow a roku device or buy and return after testing. Again, as I have posted before, this DRM-3 error happens on all three of our Roku Ultimate devices, on three separate TVs, so it is not a problem with our Rokus or TVs.   I have absolutely followed the steps you listed, and have thoroughly documented that I have done so in previous posts within this thread.   I really do appreciate the help you are trying to provide, but the problem is much bigger than just a faulty Roku/TV/HDMI cable. ...

Rustyben wrote: re: DRM-3  .. if the device is plugged directly into the TV it could be the TV or the Roku. if it is plugged into the receiver it can be the receiver, HDMI cable(s) or the TV. Well again, we have three brand new Roku Ultimates on three different TVs, and the DRM-3 error happens on all three; many times at exactly the same time, so I cannot believe that is coincidence.   Also, I just received this information from ComcastElla regarding a response from the engineering team working on the Roku app. The info is in regards to the DRM-3 errors on Roku:     'Hi, David! This is what I got directly from the engineering team: "Rebooting is the only workaround that we know of at the current point in time for this particular error.  DRM -3 is returned by the Roku player during playback and matches up with “Unknown Error”, which hasn’t helped much in the debugging.  We may add more logging in an upcoming release to see if it helps to identify a pattern or root cause. Some of the other errors in that same table do indicate an issue with the actual content - but Unknown Error doesn’t give us a lot to go off of". Basically, at this point, we don't have enough information since the error message generates from the Roku device itself. Doesn't mean it's a Roku issue but it's definitely something that we need to work together in order to resolve it. My apologies for not providing a resolution but I want to be honest with you and provide an accurate info.'   I want to get this info shared with others so everyone knows what is going on, and what the engineering group is saying. Hopefully, since one of the major selling points of XFinity Stream was the ability to use our Roku, the engineering team will find a resolution soon. We really enjoy using our Roku for XFinity Stream, and would love it if the app became available for Amazon Fire even more! ... View more

Just under two weeks and the DRM-3 errors are back AGAIN! They started again last night only a few minutes into watching The First 48. This is starting to get out of hand, especially as paying customers of this service. We've been paying for this service for over two months now since it released.   The answer every time cannot be 'uninstall and reinstall' to get our device re-authenticated. That is an unacceptable solution this many times. Once I could see, but not every 1-2 weeks. There has to be something else to keep our devices in an authenticated database on Comcast's side so we don't have to do this every 1-2 weeks. My wife and I are getting so frustrated with this DRM-3 error situation.   Also, is there any progress on getting the Roku XFinity Stream app out of 'beta'? Hopefully the official app will be able to keep our Roku devices authenticated so these errors stop. The DRM-3 error is from teh app but not caused by Comcast. The app has to have a way (the error message you see) to communicated HDCP handshake issues where the devices (any) stop the HD video stream due to a perceived non-secure path. the device begins at the Comcast server providing the stream and ends at the TV displaying the stream. literally any device in between can cause the issue. to fix a DRM error, the Roku must disappear from the path so it can reset. That is why the complete power down and disconnect of the HDMI cable fixes the problem. Only an engineer can decide/determine if the app could recover in a different manner handled by the software or via hardware interface with the Roku device. Thank you for the response.I understand the mechanics behind clearing the DRM-3 error and making the device 'disappear' so it then can re-authenticate. So then, what is the permenant fix? I don't have this issue with any other app other than the XFinity Stream app on Roku. Never one problem with Netflix, or Amazon, only Xfinity Stream. There has to be a permenant fix. I'm sure you can agree it is unacceptable having to uninstall and reinstall the app to clear the DRM-3 error. Simply powering off, unpluging the Roku and HDMI cable, then plugging back in and powering back on only works some of the time, not all. When it doesn't work is when we have to uninstall and reinstall.   I've now uninstalled and reinstalled around 7-8 times since this service came out on 9/4/2017. There is no way I want to keep uninstalling and reinstalling every 1.5-2 weeks indefinitely. Also, we have three Roku devices, and all three devices get this same error, so I highly doubt it is a Roku, HDMI cable, or TV problem. Again, this only happens with the XFinity Stream App on the Roku. Everything else on the Roku have worked flawlessly since day one.   Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this, please. It is driving us crazy. ... View more

My wife and I are getting so frustrated with this DRM-3 error situation.   Also, is there any progress on getting the Roku XFinity Stream app out of 'beta'? Hopefully the official app will be able to keep our Roku devices authenticated so these errors stop. ... View more

After several weeks of no DRM-3 issues on our Roku Ultimate, the errors started again this last weekend, 12/2/2017. They had gone away for several weeks after I power cycled my device, and unplugged/replugged the HDMI cable on my Roku.   I normally just power off my Roku, unplug/replug the HDMI cable, then boot back up and the DRM-3 errors go away for a while. This last weekend however, the power cycle and HDMI unplug/replug did not fix my issue. I tried pulling the power and disconnecting the HDMI cable three separate times, but I would still get DRM-3 errors after about 6 minutes while watching Discovery Channel (was trying to watch Season 5, episode 3 of Bering Sea Gold).   This morning I uninstalled the Xfinity Steam Beta app, powered off, pulled HDMI, then powered on, reinstalled the XFinity Steam Beta, and re-registered the device to my XFinity account. We will see if the problems are still there this evening.   ... View more

The problem was on Comcast's end, and this was verified by ComcastChe in a Private Message back then. I am going to assume the problem is on Comcast's end again. the 'thrown error' DRM-3 is an application message (the app) and probably means that the path has been invalidated by the server to monitor handshake so the application "fails". For any DRM app error the device must disappear (unplug from TV's input port allowing the port to reset and it is best to remove power from the device so it can also hard reset.

The test will be if we can binge-watch for several hours with no problems.   Thanks again for the suggestion, and we'll see if we can make it longer than 12 days without a DRM issue on our Roku devices this time. Just an update. Watched shows for about 90 minutes last night on our Roku with no issues, so it appears your suggestion worked. Thank you again for that.   I'd mark your suggestion as a solution as you request in your signature, but I could not figure out how to mark it as an accepted solution. ... View more

I appreciate the info, and I will certainly give your suggestion a shot, even though I didn't have to do any of this previously when ComcastChe fixed my issue. Again though, I am willing to try anything because our service is completely unusable on our Roku devices due to the DRM-3 error. I will do this once I get home from work later today.   For the record, when this error started on one device, I tested our other two Roku Ultimate devices and all three of them are all having DRM-3 issues at the same time now. Three different Roku devices on three difference TVs, all connected via LAN. DRM-3 pops up exactly 6 minutes into any show we try watching.   Lastly, I called Comcast support this morning on this issue, and it was very apparent the support person had no idea what Xfinity Instant TV was, what a Roku device was, or what a 'DRM -3' error code was. I was repeatedly asked for my Comcast set top box serial, which I obviously do not have. I asked the support person why they were asking me for set top box info when our account should clearly show we do not have a cable TV package, only the Instant TV package. Replies were all 'canned'. A very frustrating call that yeilded no results.   In the end I asked for a ticket number so I could call back and hopefully get someone in support who was familiar with Instant TV, Roku, and the DRM-3 errors so I can get proper support on a package we are paying money for. ...
