Provider - Xfinity

Thanks for the quick response and info on editing the channel lineup for the cablecard channel. That's a good trick that I didn't know Channels could do.

I upgraded to the pre-release Channels but Xfinity TV Everywhere ACC is giving error "websocket url timeout reached". I'll have to try again later.

Make sure Chrome is installed and up to date.

Like @roboskull I was able to get it with my HDHR Prime using Xfinity once I mapped the channel.
But it's not working with TVE. I'm assuming it's TVE channel 6147.

I went to the website https://www.espn.com/watch/player?network=acc and was able to Link to my Xfinity account (it's using the new two screen login, username on first, pass on second) and when the player window came up it freezes. Click play and nothing happens.

Figured, OK glitch with ESPN so I tried to rescan ACC-6147 on both of my Xfinity-TVE servers and get this error even after updating to v2021.12.16.2117 and using the Update Password trick.

notAuthorized: ACC Network and ACC Network Extra are currently not available with your TV provider. For a complete list of TV providers offering ACC Network and ACC Network Extra, check www.GetACCN.com.If you dont see your TV provider listed, contact them to demand that they carry ACC Network and ACC Network Extra.

TVE stopped working for me. I've updated to the latest prerelease rebooted, restarted, rescanned, tried another user name, removed source. No luck. Chrome is up to date

When trying to add the source back I get "Context deadline exceeded". Logs have been submitted

If this is due to a recent update is there a way to go back to an older version?

The older version is not going to work.

Did you try rebooting the server?

Yes. I power cycled the server which is an old iMac.

Is there a preferred OS?

Ok so I think it was Cameron posted the working solution.

remove source
Log in to one of the networks the old fashioned way
He said use incognito window which I did
then add source back

worked like a charm

FYI ESPN still hasn't updated their online credential database with the Xfinity customers. I still get that error when trying to watch the ACCN today.

I'm getting the error "No Login Form Found" for Xfinity

I do not have 2 FA, and I am using the 'id' to log in and not the email.

The channels server is located on my NAS in WA, and the account is located in the Bay Area (if that matters?)

If u read back, that issue happened for many while back.

update server to latest pre-release.

Thanks, I updated, and it's WORKING.... Thank you

Does ACCN play for you at their website? https://www.espn.com/watch/player?network=acc
I'm able to use my Xfinity credentials and watch ESPN, but the ACCN player window play button doesn't start the video playing. I click it and nothing happens using Edge and Firefox.

Same here ... Cannot play.

I know it shouldn't matter, but is that using Xfinity login?

yes

Question about regions. I have an Xfinity account in the Bay Area, but my Channels DVR is physically on a NAS near Portland Oregon

I'd like to record my locals (here in the Bay Area) but when I add 'locals' it shows me all the Portland local channels.

HELP! I'm wondering if perhaps adding a VPN to my router up there to VPN in to the bay would do it?

For the issue above I’ve gotten more than once now, even on the pre-release, is it specific to HGTV on xfinity or will I have the same issue on another tve provider (ie philo).

Thanks for all the work on this! I was having the same problem and after getting the pre-release (didn't try that before) I got most of my channels back and more (some reason FOX is off still)... Everyone's help is appreciated.

Same issue for me. If I try to watch via the ESPN App on iOS, I now get a "You are not authorized to play this content. Please contact your provider message.". One more interesting data point -- the Xfinity Stream app does not allow ACCN to be viewed outside of the home network. One possibility (although probably unlikely) is that Xfinity negotiated to get the Linear In-home rights to ACCN but nothing for Out of Home.

I get this when trying to readd Xfinity

Logged into the account on the Xfinity site, also got the message, and fixed it. Still get the error when readding Xfinity. I'll try some things.
