Xfinity video not playing

by

When I try to watch Xfinity/Comcast videos, the actual video does not load.
I have installed Flash, then installed Pipelight and enabled Silverlight, Flash, Shockwave, and Unity3d.

Other Silverlight and Flash video sources work just fine, including Youtube, Amazon, and Netflix.

I get the commercial, then the player usually loads up (sometimes there’s a hang here and I need to reload the page and watch another commercial), but the actual video never shows up.

I don’t get any error messages.

Firefox just says I have an outdated version of Flash, but it seems as though that’s because Flash is no longer being developed for Firefox on Linux.
