installed with no issues but playback is where i am having trouble with. anybody else?

for example, i will press the "watch" button for ABC to watch the NBA Playoffs. the loading animation will trigger and will come right back to the options of "watch" "record" and "info" screen of ABC.
It works on my nvidia shield tv pro.....But doesn't work on my android head unit. It does what you describe

What device are you using?

I have it installed on my Chromecast (current gen). No issues with prior versions until this one. Glad I'm not the only one running into this issue.

Haven't installed it on my NVIDIA shield to see similar or different results. Will do tomorrow.

After chasing my tail with other APKMirror Stream variants, I discovered this thread. Downloaded your first two links and am now accessing my Xfinity TV content via 2017 Shield Pro without having to flip back over to the TV-embedded Roku. Needed to install icon package before actual Stream package, not after.

As noted by others, you need a browser recognized by Stream. After finding that Puffin wanted a subscription, I went with Chrome from APKMirror.
Thanks, ytsejam1138!

Hi everyone.
I downloaded the two files :
Xfinity Stream BETA MODDED 7.4.1.6 - PURE ANDROID MODDED VERSION UPDATED
NEW ICON (Shortcut) Xfinity Stream - PURE ANDROID MODDED VERSION
but there is no sound !!
I'm using some Chinese box TX3 Mini with Android Version 7.12.
Someone know how to fix the no sound issue??
Thanks in advance!
Yes the same here on 3 different Chinese Boxes with various firmware.

The problem seems to be that the app is picking streams when available with HDMI pass thru dolby raw audio streams. In addition to changing the hdmi checking in the dex file a varialble needs to be patched to force streams that do not use the dolby raw passthru.

You're the 2nd person I've seen with this issue.....
Only thing i can suggest is to check the audio settings of your android tv, try switching between PCM and dolby digital etc and see if that will decode the audio to your tv/amplifier

I have solved the Xfinity Stream no sound problem on my Android 11 box by changing the Stream App interface from Television to Normal or Desktop in the Android settings for the app. Sound setting as in the screenshots below. Sound is working on all channels now.

still no sound no matter what :(
BTW I have also first generation fire stick that is on OS 5 and the Xfinity Stream doesn't work there any more.
There is a way to bypass it ??
Unfortunately i don't know...nothing changed (audibly) for me on shield tv pro with older firmware.....all runs to/thru my 8ch amp.
The other poster mentioned he thought they changed the audio to digital or something along those lines.
So i guess the question is what devices you have/use and which one is failing to carry/decode the audio signal.

Play with tv audio settings and android tv audio settings.....

So.....using the Fire TV app is working on my Chinese Android head unit! The version i use on my shield tv would start to load channel then just go back to channel listing page...the FireTV version works great.
Just fyi anyone experiencing it not starting stream and reverting back to channel guide....try the FireTV version
