When I try to run the videos on the Comcast home page I get an error message: error 560,  Anybody know what's going on?

Hello,

Can you post the complete error message? In order to play the videos on the comcast home page you will need to have flash. Do you have this installed?

I have similar situation.  I follow a link from the homepage and then get the story which shows "xfinity-hulu" and a big black space with no viewing controls, then I page down and the story coninues with more black spaces and NO video to play.  Sometimes its there, sometimes not?

Hi all,

We are currently having some issues with Internet Explorer:

In the meantime, please use a different web browser and let me know if it works. This is not a permanent solution; just a workaround until we fix our issue with IE9.

Thanks,

Trying to watch videos on my xfinity homepage.  Current stories and news, etc.

Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.  Usually no controls are show, only black screen.

I've been having a similar problem for a week.  When I try to play an episode I get the error message I need the updated flash, other episodes tell me I need updated silverlight.. problem is I have the latest version of both.  Yesterday I got frustrated, deleted both programs and reinstalled them from scratch- this did nothing to fix this issue.  HELP?

Our site uses both video players depending on the show/movie. Your problem sounds like something else is preventing videos from playing.

Please go to www.xfinitytv.com/computer and copy the information you see on-screen and paste it in this thread so we can further assist you.

Also, please send the URLs of the videos that you are trying to watch.

Hi Joe, 

I jumped into the thread as I am having the same problem with videos.  Any help you can suggest will be much appreciated.  The problem is happening with all video sites except You Tube.

I have been experiencing this problem for some time on my none administrator ID's for months.  This morning I tried and it worked.  Thanks for whatever work was performed.  Using another browser was not an option.
