I have no explanation on why it worked before with the router set to Google DNS and progressively got worse, or why setting Windows DNS to use Google worked to fix IE going to XF, but it worked this time and hopefully will stay working. All of this was working for the first time in months. Went to the Playon XF channel and it worked right off and I could browse. Playon browser could suddenly load tv.xfinity. I logged onto my router and found that I'd also set the router to use Google DNS so I changed it back to ISP (Comcast) DNS.īoom. It occured to me that perhaps Comcast does something to validate access via its own internal DNS servers, so I removed the Google DNS from Windows IPv4 settings. I tried that and could see that it was getting the same long delay trying to reach tv.xfinity and then the DNS error. I read elsewhere about launching the Playon browser by holding down SHIFT+ALT (? can't remember exactly if this is right) while clicking the Start button for Playon server in the Playon settings. Going to Playon settings and running Test on the login would seemingly do nothing but then after a long time (~2 min) it would finally come back with wrong login. Changing Playon channel to Xfinity would have the can't login error. I thought I solved the problem so went back to Playon but it would still have the same problem. I changed the Windows 10 IPv4 DNS to use Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and suddenly IE could load tv.xfinity. Even if I was logged onto my., if I then went to tv., it would grind away for a long time and most of the time come up with a site could not be found DNS error. I knew Playon uses IE as its background browser, so I launched IE and tried it manually. I finally put some time into trying to fix it. It got to the point where it didn't work at all, even through lots of reboots, stop/restart servers, erasing and putting the same user/pw back in, etc. I've been having increasing problems with Playon logging into Xfinity over the last few months.
