    I have been having a problem all weekend with NBCSports streaming not loading. Splash screen displays on the TV through the Roku with a loading GIF but never progresses beyond that. Additionally, going on my desktop I found that there were no events live & upcoming, or full replays or highlights. My account information was correct but there were no indications there were problems.
    I find the lack of accountability with NBC atrocious. We are paying for a service and they provide absolutely no support when there are problems. Not even any notifications.

  • Daryl Styles

    “Unable to play asset” on fire tv while trying stream NFL. Have updated the app, restarted the device, and signed out and back in to account. Nothing helps.

  • I’ve been having issues with the Roku app and the Android app on my LG G5 (but it seems to work fine on my LG G3) for about two months now. Streaming on a PC using the Chrome browser has been fine, too.
    On the G5, I just get a blank screen. On the Roku, the first issue tends to be that, after just a few seconds of the stream actually working, it shows a screen that says “Loading” with a progress bar that never moves. Recently, if I go back to the NBC Sports main page and then back into the program, I may get a screen that says “Retrieving” and the progress bar goes to about 3/4 full but then stops.

  • Bill Ward

    I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling on my Firestick and each time I try to play a EPL replay (Chelsea v Arsenal), I keep getting the message “Unable to Play Asset.” But when I log out and try playing the same replay, it will allow me to play the first 30 minutes of the match. App works fine on my iPhone8. What gives?

  • James Lynch

    Total trash .NBC Streaming is garbage.

  • Tristan Mayer

    Updated the NBC sports app on firestick, now it won’t show nba games. What’s up?

  • Matt

    Nothing playing for the last few days, in the nbcsports app on apple tv 4. I get the error ‘Oops something happened. Please close your app and try again’ which i do, and it makes no difference. None of the content will play, very frustrating!!

  • J DeRose

    Also unable to watch Chelsea match. Tried on multiple devices as well as Chrome, pc, mac, and, roku. Most i could get out of it was an advertisement and then it would cut out our displays an oops error. What’s the point of creating such a crap app?

  • Chris

    tried watching the replay of the chelsea vs swansea game and it won’t load. this is the third time i’ve tried watching a game using the NBC Gold package and it hasn’t worked. emailed the issue the previous two times the service was down and both times received a reply stating that appeared to just be a pre-written statement they probably send out for all issues. NBC doesn’t really seem to care that they are charging customers for a service that continues to fail.

  • Naomi Brooks

    It must be down in Nashville, Tn area. Watched 1st half today, sat down to watch 2nd half in replay, and nothing. It shows I’m watching it, but nothing is on the screen. So disappointed. First time trying to watch.

  • Bobbie-Jo Weston

    NBC sports is down in maryland

  • John Stebbins

    Absolutely nothing. The app is behaving like I have no PL pass at all. When is the fix?

  • Ryan Deveraux

    I love paying to watch the EPL on NBC Sports Gold and then it doesn’t work?! Doesn’t work on my mobile device using the app, or on my laptop using their website. Probably shouldn’t charge for a service that almost never works!

  • James Patton

    tottenham vs westham is down. I try it on my phone app and it says error, please restart app and then I’ve tried it on 2 different browsers on my laptop and it acts like it’s going to load, but then just stays a blank, black screen

  • Oldmanhiggins

    two straight weeks the Arsenal game is an unplayable asset. WTF. It is the only game this morning so I can’t check any others but last weekend it was the only game during that time slot that didn’t play.

    • John

      Same With me. This is ridiculous

  • grampytj

    unable to play asset on this application, been broke for several days, mediacom owes me!

  • Joseph Muller

    Unable to play this asset. On all of my devices. Firestick roku, and my phone.

  • Weddlemagic

    11 second loop/delay while streaming nhl

  • Morti Samuels

    All the advertising perfect the video constantly freezing

  • Morti Samuels

    Terrible every week

  • Filip Å ogan

    Currently I am just looking at a black screen

  • jessica moon Bernstein

    bummer to pay for service that does not work when you want no more NBC gold for me going elsewhere.

  • will

    trying to watch Tottenham game but receiving error message, unable to play this asset.

  • Jeff Reiter

    NBC Sports on ROKU. Trying to watch Seattle / Patriots game. Getting unknown error playing video. Have uninstalled and reinstalled app. Rebooted Roku. Has never worked.

    • Armando

      Doesn’t seem to be working for me either. Hopefully they fix it, been waiting all day to watch the game

  • Austin F1 qualifying won’t load.
    Why did you take down the Spa GP replay?

  • NBCHater

    I am using the NBC Sports app on Apple TV with Charter. Trying to watch English soccer. The app opens fine, all games are shown as available. Only the 8 AM Tottenham game is working. (Same game being shown on NBCSN cable channel). All the other games show “Coverage will being shortly”, but never goes off that screen.

    The opening ads work on every stream though, but that’s it. Great job, NBC.

  • Highspire

    Not working for me. Deleted reloaded and activated 3 times. Powered down and cycled everything multiple times. Keep getting this error. Roku tv all in one. Just trying to watch the early EPL match.

  • Joe

    NBC Sports not working on roku. Just plays a few seconds of F1 on loop. Please fix soon

  • On September 17 and today, September 24, 2016, I was unable to download English Premier League football matches. The games were listed on the home screen, but when I touched the desired game on my iPad, it appeared to download for a second but then disappeared. I wasn’t asked to log in via Infinity which I usually have to do. Very annoying as I’m a big fan of Tottenham a Hotspur and was looking forward to watching their game.

  • Dan

    Using the NBC Sports Live Extra app on my Apple TV. The replay of the men’s synchronized diving 10m board finals ends about 2/3 of the way. I don’t get to see most of the second half. Please fix so that I can watch the whole thing. Thank you!

  • Mike Black

    The app works perfect on my computer and Samsung S5, But will not work on my new Samsung Galaxy 7 edge. What gives?

  • Ang

    No live stream or ‘live upcoming’ on my Roku. Really want to watch the olympics! Too far out for an antenna. Signed in to my cable provider. Options?

    • I am having the same issue. If I delete the app from the Roku, then reload it…I can then choose one live event to watch and it works fine as long as you don’t change the screen channel you had chosen. If you try to go back to the menu, you get logged out of all live content and have to run the same procedure as I listed above. Quite the pain in the butt.

  • Jeremy smith

    The F1 streams are not working on my Apple TV, Netflix works perfectly , we have a fast connection so I know that is not the issue ..

  • Debbie

    I have a ROKU and I am having the same problem. Get the media error not supported. What’s going on??

  • F1Texas

    No F1 full event replay from Hungary July 24 and no qualifying from July 23. Same streaming and buffering problems as others. Been three weeks of this now.

  • Ducky

    Still not working on Roku as of 7/22/16… WTF?!

  • Jason

    Roku: “Media error; the media format is unknown or unsupported.” I have logged out and back in. Reloaded the app. Nothing. I hope there is a fix soon.

  • Jim C

    Seems ok on Amazon Fire Stick.. just not Roku as of July 13 2016

  • PeteP

    Can’t even watch free clips. Glad I found out I’m not the only one. Reboot, log out, log in. Then I find that this is happening to many people? NBC Sports Live Extra not working on Roku. Says “Media error; the media format is unknown or unsupported.” They can’t make something this simple work right so I can watch Indycar? Very Unhappy.

  • Media error….still won’t play….been a month now. What’s the fix, there must be something…..

  • Kaylen

    SO
    FRUSTRATED!!!!!

  • Kaylen

    NBC Sports Live Extra app sucks. Get it together, guys.

    Plays video for about 2 mins then never works again. Super lame.

  • The F1 streams not working on my iPad….hasn’t worked since July 4 th…..

  • Tom

    NBC Sports Live Extra not working on Roku. Says “Media error; the media format is unknown or unsupported.”

    Has been like this for at least 1 week (July 1st).

    • Mike

      Nbc sports extra not working on my Roku 2 either. Same error message: media error; the media format is unknown or unsupported.

      The live extra app it is working on my phone though, so I know that my sign in is working… lame.

    • Julie frey

      We are having the same issue with the sme error message.

  • Joe Proctor

    I’ve had a Roku 2 for about two weeks now and the NBC Sports Live app has never worked. I’ve signed in & out several times with no issue, and I get the message that I have access to NBC, Golf Channel, etc. But when I try to play anything it kicks me out to the home screen.
    No errors. No nothing.

    All other apps work just fine including all the NBC/Universal channels.

  • Brian

    NBC Sports Live Extra not working on Roku. Says “Media error; the media format is unknown or unsupported.”

  • Kristin

    NBC Sports Live Extra not working on Roku. Says “Media error; the media format is unknown or unsupported.” Has been doing this since at least Saturday, July 1st (possibly before that, but I was out of town)

  • marc

    NBC sports live extra will not play on Roku. Keep getting an error saying the video file type is not supported. NBC is really shitty at covering track and field, but I still want to watch the Olympic trials.

  • Pete Brown

    NBC sports extra will not stream via ROKU (tries two devices – same result). Screen tries to load, then fails and screen box says that the video file type is not supported – then it quits. Other streaming via ROKU works OK (like YouTube).

    • Aaron Casper

      Mine did same thing this morning with Roku 3. I really wanted to watch Dan Patrick Show on day off. Still isn’t working tonight.

  • Shooting coverage on NBC instead of F1 race…. that’s what my dvr recorded, then I recorded what was supposed to be the F1 race on NBCSHD @7pmcst- which turned out to be some dumb golf tourney. Now I’ve had to go onto nbcsports website to stream: which immediately tells you who won the race…. and the race won’t buffer. btw i don’t have an old computer and i do have a good internet connection. F1 is the only thing i watch on nbc, and the reliability they have doesn’t encourage browsing through nbc programming either

  • Abb

    On Hulu receiving Network Error. Could not communicate with NBC’s servers. My internet connection was good.

  • Tony

    Hasn’t worked on roku player for at least 2 weeks now. Retrieving content indicator gets stuck then it gives notice that media not supported on roku???
    Please fix as its been at least 10 days.
    Thx.

  • Paul

    Live Extra on Roku XDS would not start last night/this morning 5/21/2016.

  • I have been having a lot of issues with NBC Live Extra app on my iPad in the last few weeks.
    I only use it to watch EPL games: Live and Replays? Have had problems with both.
    Live games – the app will play all or part of the starting advertisement video and then shows a message that tells me my area is blacked out. I’m in Los Angeles, the games are in England!
    Replays – again the ads will play for about 5-10 seconds and then a black screen without any message. Just dead.
    What’s happening?!
    I have reloaded the app to no avail.
    I have reloaded the app, but same thing.

  • Shel

    Trying to watch BPL (chelsea/swansea) seems like no audio from booth/ announcers. Occasional crowd noises. Buffering alot. If you want to carry all rights to the games then do a better job.
