Event History won't play

I can't play videos from the Event History. I have 2 Samsungs, one with version 3.19.0 and the other with version 3.18.0. I have a Nokia with version 3.19.0. None of them will play the videos. I also cannot view Event History on a families camera either. The live feed works fine and I can view the history on my laptop but not through the app.

    Sorry to hear that this is happening @Fredsdead! To start, I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app on at least 2 of these phones to see if it makes an improvement in functionality. When testing a live view on a mobile device, please ensure bluetooth and VPN is disabled, as well as trying on wifi only and again on data only. Please let us know how this goes! Thank you :)

      The app works again. I went to bed with no event history but when I woke the next morning everything is working. I didn't change any settings or reset my router so I'm fairly confident that it was the app. Thanks

    We just developed the same issue today. 3 up to date Samsung phones, none of them are able to play the event history when our phones are connected to our wi-fi. If we turn off wi-fi and switch to data, the app works as it should. There are absolutely no other issues with our wi-fi or equipment, we have checked/tested everything. We have tried the uninstall/reinstall method, cleared caches and cleaned our phones out. We have tried everything and are 100% certain the problem is with the Ring app. We are also able to use the app normally on laptops and with our Kindles (android) and these devices are connecting via the same wi-fi as the Samsung phones that can't play back videos from the event history.

      I have exactlythe same problem. My ring playback was working fine until maybe yesterday, suddenly I can't view history whatas so ever. However, if I use 4G LTE then it works fine. Live view and answering is also working perfectly. Just not playback...... so weird

      There is an issue with the service. In device help you can see the Ring status. I copied this from that page below.

      It's listed as corrected now. So it should be working now.

      I have a Samsung Note 10. Only within the last few days I cannot get the playback on my event history. I see this problem marked as resolved, but not sure who that applies to. Mine is not resolved.

    This is marked as solved, but I'm still struggling with this on my Samsung Galaxy S10. Anyone else?

      I am still having issues with my iPhone! I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the app and that didn't work. I can see the live feed fine but not the history.

    I started having problems playing videos and didn’t believe it had anything to do with my WiFi .... so I deleted the app and downloaded it again that did not work ... then I deleted each device and reinstalled them and that did the trick .... no problems now

      I have also started having this problem with only one of the devices not playing event history. There is no issue with wifi or network. Until yesterday 'live' wouldnt play but now only event history has the problem. I have uninstalled/ rebooted and reinstalled as advised but it is still not working. Is there a solution yet? Otherwise it is pointless playing for a plan when only live mode is working.
