Xfinity tv app

[phonetec]

No not the xfinity tv go app....the xfinity tv app that if you are on the same WiFi as your cable box you can basically use the app as a virtual cable box in another room. I am able to load the app up, it buffers then goes right back to the android home screen, any one have any luck or similar situation with this app?

I thought more xfinity Comcast users would be interested in this app as you would have access to your cable box/DVR, watch every channel you subscribe to without affecting anyone else watching cable on your physical cable box

I need this as well. There was an update to the app a few days ago. Does it work now by side loading?

I sideloaded the latest version of the Xfinity TV app version 3.1.0.014

The app does not support proper navigation with android tv remote as it is intended to be used on a touch interface.

You can however connect a mouse via USB OTG and use the app. I have watched around an hour of TV on the app and did not have any major issues.

It is a little buggy at times exiting and re-entering the app and I have had a force close but it is usable.

Once they update for Android TV support I will be very happy. (I am hoping they update for Android TV support. I haven't found any information to say they are for sure.)

Comcast released another app update today. Hopefully it didn't break things for you, let me know how it goes, I am thinking about getting a Nexus Player for this app. I doubt they will ever support Android TV, they would be losing $10 per month from folks who are currently renting their own comcast boxes for additional TVs.

I just uninstalled the previous version and installed the new version 3.1.1.019

I am not noticing any changes and it still seems to be working fine.

I have a keyboard/mouse combo connected to the Nexus Player that I use to navigate in the app which is a little clunky but does work.

I am watching some On Demand on it right now with no issues.

What software are you using on the nexus player?
Also have you tried using droidmote to navigate?

Awesome, i can confirm it does work on stock, for some reason i never tried on stock, i am now going to root it to see if droidmote works as a remote for it.
Edit: droidmote works as a mouse, but the remote functions do not work inside the xfinity app

has anyone figured out why the Xfinity TV app closes or how to fix this I have the newest version installed on my nexus player and on my nvidia shield and on both devices the app closes after about 10 minutes of watching a live or on demand show and goes back to the Home screen? On my fire stick the app doesn't close but I get other playback error on live channels. The TV to Go app works 100% on my correctly it never closes but it lacks a channel guide and DVR abilities so I would rather use the X1 TV app instead. any suggestions on how to get the app to stop closing back to the home screen?

as a side note for those trying to find a controller solution, I use a QQ-Tech Mini Bluetooth Keyboard W Touch pad for Android OS Windows from Amazon for about 20 bucks. I use this for all 3 of my boxes to control the Xfinity TV and TV to Go apps it works grate its about 7 inches long so about the size of a TV remote. mine is rechargeable with a light up keyboard. this will also make using Chrome and other sideloaded apps on Android TV so much easier to use.

I watched it the other day for like 2 hours and didnt have 1 issue, are you on the latest firmware on your nexus player? Also has anyone tried the update that came out today?

I've got Pure Nexus running and i am having no issues with the Xfinity Go App with a Keyboard/Mouse works somewhat with the remote besides selecting anything, can only use the nexus remote as a glorified browser can go up and down left and right and back.

Understood, i refuse to get X1 because right now i pay 80 Bucks for 150 Channels + HBO and 75Megabit Internet. I don't need a DVR made by them, nor do i need anything else they deem fancy. I wouldn't have Comcast at all if i could have the option, but they are the fastest within 100 feet of my location. Lot of OTA DVR Options Exist, some are like 10-15 Years Old. (The PSX Console was a PS2 with built in DVR if that says anything). i Have a hacked Roamio i use to record stuff.

The Xfinity TV app (not TV Go) works, but sometimes looses track of the "Home" network.
We are using a friend's login info to test it- Our 2 NP's both have M 6.0.
It will not work out of the box hardwired for channels you have not viewed before- i.e on your "previously viewed channels" list, prompts you to use your cellular data connection, but has an "allow just this time" link that will let it through a LAN.
Seems the TV (not TV Go) app keeps track of the WiFi connections and designates one a "Home".
I have renamed my 2 access points the same name, with same SSID and passwords- it worked great for a day, then started locking me out of new channels.
ES FileExplorer lets you ftp into the NP with the LAN---> Remote Manager, so I will be copying the X-TV data over and see if that works.
As a side note- I will be testing the TV Go app found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63688527&postcount=39

I found this Rii that works quite well for the NP in general, and the trackpad seems very good to me, especially double-tap, hold and swipe.

I wanted a 2.4 ghz romo, because I read many comments about BT sleeping issues.
The rest of my setup has this hub-

and this UBS to RJ-45 adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWXTOIA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

All work with the NP


**Edit**
Sytanek's app mod at the link above works excellent on our stock NP with M 6.0.1

 

[KoubaK]

Can anyone confirm the apps still work on our NPs as of today?
I am moving and the place I am heading to doesn't have other options but Comcast... this would be great in cutting some of those "rental fees" on additional cable boxes.
