i am having issues with the my Samsung Smart tv (model UN65KS8500FXZA) and Disney Plus App. Seems that something with the att broadband is preventing the connection or starting of the Disney Plus app or a possible issue between the app and the Tv. The network status of my internet is good along with the the network status of the Samsung Tv. All the other Apps within the Samsung Smart Tv work just fine except for the Disney Plus app. I get an error 1017 when opening the Disney + app. I am wondering if there is a possible firewall or Att Broadband/Samsung setting that is causing the Disney Plus connectivity issue. I did try changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8, resetting the smart hub, restoring to factory settings, unplugging tv and didn't fix anything. Please help.
As of last week my television no longer works on disney plus or YouTube, disney just brings up a black screen and YouTube just stays on a grey screen. I've done all of the above and my internet connection is hardwired with no issues using other apps. No way you can blame Disney entirely for this one?
The Disney+ dying on Samsung is common, unfortunately. Will either present a blue screen, or a black screen. Samsung has updated the app to disallow deletion and reinstall, which used to fix the problem, now the fix is much more severe sorry to say (poor move Samsung)...if you have tried all of the reboot attempts (unplugging the TV and resetting your internet router), here is the fix that actually DOES work. Make sure you know all of your app logins before you begin...you will need them!
RESET THE SMART HUB
On your remote...HOME button, go to the left in menu to SETTINGS, SUPPORT, SELF DIAGNOSIS, RESET SMART HUB. This will reset your TV, so you will need to reload and relog-in to your apps like Amazon, Netflix, Disney+.
I don't seem have the option to do ANY of these things.
Cannot clear the cache
Cannot delete the app
Option to self-diagnose is there but grayed out and says it's not an option so I cannot reset the hub
In Settings - System one option is to Start Setup (Restore your TV to its original settings and perform Initial setup again) and that is ALSO grayed out
Any other ideas? This just stopped working a couple of days ago (has been working since before Christmast) and we were in the middle of a family Star Wars marathon! HELP!!!
I'm sorry to hear that, have you tried a factory reset on the TV? Also have you made sure that your TV is up to date with the latest software available to the TV?

I was able to fix my Disney+ app without resetting. Similar issue to other posters. I could only see the blue screen and the clocking circle when I tried to launch the app.
I went into Apps -> My Apps -> select Options (located in the bottom right on my KS8500) -> then select Delete. Now here is the tricky part: highlight the Disney+ App, and no it won't let you delete. But instead---after the Disney+ app is highlighted, PRESS and HOLD the selection button on your remote until another menu pops up. Select the option to reinstall.
This worked for my KS8500. I didn't want to do a factory reset because I have calibrated the color profiles on the TV and didn't want to lose my settings, but I'm sure the reset would fix the app too.
My 2016 UN55KS800D tv was giving me the blue screen of death for Disney+. I tried the suggested ways to clear the cache but those methods were not available on my tv. What finally worked was going to Apps -> My Apps -> select Options. This allowed me to check a box on the Disney+ App and delete it. I then re-installed Disney+ and logged back into my account. This worked. Thanks for the recommendation.
I'm having the exact same problem literally reset the entire TV had Samsung tech-support logged into the TV to even reset some settings rebooted my router still the same problem error 1016 app config failure. The only thing they could offer me was to send somebody out to my house to work on the TV and I have to pay for it because the TVs over a year old. Spoke with Disney as well they said that error code is a Samsung error code not theirs so basically it's Samsung's problem
Never ever buying any more Samsung TV,my 1st and last. I will stick to my LG, never ran into any issues. This disney + app problem is very frustrating.
