Getting to the right servers:
Because the servers for various devices are all located in different parts of the country sometimes it's a matter of pointing to the right DNS server.
Youll find complete instructions on how to change your DNS by using OpenDNS.com's all-encompassing guide ( https://store.opendns.com/setup ). I'd try this first, as their servers are only in the USA and Europe. If this doesn't seem to help, you can try Google's Public DNS ( https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns ).
This DNS change seems to work well with ongoingvideoproblems.
If you run into further trouble, just let us know what DNS you are using when youcontact us.

In order to view these International Dubs you will have to make sure the dubbed language matches your preferred language in your settings. (If you are attempting to view English dubs, make sure your preferred language is set to English)

If it's just one video then you should contact us to tell us the specific video you had trouble with, as well as what device you are watching on, so we can check the encoding of the video.
No videos work. They won't play at all.
If you are on a console:On your console, clear yourCACHE, and then delete theAPP DATA (in that order) before uninstalling, deactivating/unlinking your device from the My Devices page, and reinstalling the Crunchyroll app.Mobile users: Please see the Android or IOS section of our Knowledge Base. If you are on a computer using a browser:Make sure your browser is up to date. See supported browser versions here.Disable any browser extensions (or try incognito mode). Try more than one browser.
Most videos play but stop and start or jump to the next episode.
There are three more areas that can have issues when streaming videos. You will need to check your network connection (usually your WiFi), make sure you are connecting to the right servers and, if probably still arise, try lowering quality settings.
WiFiYour device needs a stable connection. All you can do to resolve this is to make sure your connection is as stable as can be and try again. A common issue is other people streaming video on the same home wifi.Getting to the right servers:Because the servers for various devices are all located in different parts of the country, sometimes it's a matter of pointing to the right DNS server.Changing your router's DNS should resolve this. Youll find complete instructions on how to change your DNS by using OpenDNS.com's all-encompassing guide ( https://store.opendns.com/setup/#/ ). You should try this first, if in the USA and Europe. If this doesn't seem to help, you can try Google's Public DNS ( https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns ).
Lowering Quality SettingsVideo quality should be set to "auto" by default, however sometimes an unstable connection may still cause hiccups in the quality selection and cause lengthy buffering times. On mobile devices this may cause the video to stop and say "This video is taking a while to load...". Try setting the quality to a low setting and see if that alleviates the buffering/loading issues.
The new video player on web browsers is missing features/not working properly.
Our new video player has just rolled out and new features are already on their way. If you have any questions about the player, please see our New Video Player FAQ.

Select SETTINGS, then NETWORK, then TEST INTERNET CONNECTION, and check to ensure your PS4has a stable connection.

Please make sure the season you have selected is either the base season (The English subbed version) or is dubbed in English. Then make sure your preferred language is set to English. If you are attempting to view a season that was dubbed in another language you will first need to switch your preferred language to match the dubs.
Changing your DNS:
Because the servers for various devices are all located in different parts of the country sometimes it's a matter of pointing to the right DNS server. So let's see if updating your **Playstation 4**'s DNS settings will help.
##### [OpenDNS Servers:](https://use.opendns.com/) Primary: **208.67.222.222**Secondary: **208.67.220.220**

This DNS change seems to work well with ongoing video problems.

View ArticleWhat do I do if I think someone else is logging into my account?
If you believe someone else is logging into your account, please make sure you immediately change your password. You should then visit the " My devices " page within your account settings and remove any unknown devices.
What do I do if someone changed my email address?
Write in a help ticket so we can return your account to you as soon as possible.
How can someone get access to my account? How do I prevent this from happening?
Most commonly accounts are compromised because the same password is being used on multiple sites. Once there has been a data breach on one site and the password information is leaked, fraudsters will then try that email/password combination on many other sites. A good resource to be aware of is haveibeenpwned.com. This site will list many publicly known data breaches and let you know if your email address was part of any of them.
If you would like to do your best to prevent your account from being taken over please make sure to at least do the following:
1) Create a password that is both strong and unique.2) If you log in (to any site) using a public computer/device, make sure to log out afterward.3) Do not give out your password.
If you are not sure if your password is unique you may want to consider using a password manager like LastPass or 1Password.

View ArticleBy default, the video player will select the AUTO quality. This means that it will always raise your quality to the highest standard your internet connection is capable of reliably streaming at that time. If anything causes your connection to slow down (or speed up!) the video player will automatically make adjustments during playback. This reduces the amount of buffering and increases the amount of anime you watch!
We do however still give you the option to select your own quality. You can do so by selecting the settings button within the player and clicking the tab next to the AUTO quality. The qualities provided are:
240p: The lowest video quality available that all users have access to. Generally only used as a last resort when internet connections are most unstable or limited. Also good if you are really interested in keeping data usage low.
360p: A low range quality available for limited or unstable connections. Gives breathing room for those with limited speeds or older computers.
480p: This is the same resolution that you would find on DVD, though it's highly compressed in order for most people to stream the videos while using minimal internet resources. The downside to this is that you need a fairly fast computer in order to decode the video.
720p: This is the second-highest quality that we offer, but it's only available for select Simulcast titles. This is also provided in a highly compressed format, but you still may need an above-average internet connection to view it (depending on where you are from) and a fast computer to decode the video without stuttering.
1080p: This is the highest quality that we offer and is only recommended for people with a high-end computer and a fast internet connection. Trying to run this on a lower-end computer may cause the video playback to stutter a lot, cause your computer to slow down in general, and may even crash your web browser. Please make sure your computer can handle 1080p videos before loading one.

View ArticleIf you are experiencing problems where you only see a black screen, or your videos are halting and stuttering, here are a few basic troubleshooting steps you can try:
Getting the app all set:
On your device, clear your cache and delete the app data before uninstalling, unlinking and deactivating your device from your account settings( https://www.crunchyroll.com/acct/?action=devices ), and reinstalling the Crunchyroll app.
Getting to the right servers:
Because the servers for various devices are all located in different parts of the country sometimes it's a matter of pointing to the right DNS server.
Youll find complete instructions on how to change your DNS by using OpenDNS.com's all-encompassing guide ( https://store.opendns.com/setup ). I'd try this first, as their servers are only in the USA and Europe. If this doesn't seem to help, you can try Google's Public DNS ( https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns ).

Please send us the error so we can check it out. If it's just missing the Premium status, then go to your VRV app and close and reopen the app. That will force an update.
I have multiple VRV accounts, can I link them to one Crunchyroll.com account?
No. Only one Crunchyroll account is authorized to be linked to a VRV account.
Why am I being charged twice after I linked VRV to Crunchyroll.com?
You need to cancel one of the services. Linking the accounts mean if you pay for Premium on one service, you will share that Premium with the other service. If both services, VRV and Crunchyroll.com, are subscribed to premium, you should cancel the billing on one of the services.
Why am I still getting billed after linking my Crunchyroll.com account?
Its possible you have more than one CR account. Please verify that you have linked the correct account, and that you have canceled the billing for the service you know longer want to bill through.
How do I link accounts?
Please note that linking accounts only affects Premium memberships. You will need a Premium membership from Crunchyroll.com or VRV. Heres how you link your Premium Crunchyroll.com account to VRV and vice versa:
If you already have a Crunchyroll Premium account from Crunchyrolls standalone service:
Step 1: Go to VRV.co
Step 2: Create an account
Step 3: Click "Account" in the upper-right corner
Step 4: Select "Link Accounts"
Step 5: Follow the steps to link your Crunchyroll account to VRV!
If you already have VRV Premium or a Crunchyroll a la carte account on VRV:
Step 1: Go to VRV.co
Step 2:Click "Account" in the upper-right corner
Step 3: Select "Link Accounts"
Step 4: Follow the steps to link your Crunchyroll account to VRV!
Will linking my account transfer my username, watchlists, etc.?
No, Account Linking only confirms your Premium status between the Crunchyroll channel on VRV and Crunchyroll.com.
I want VRV Premium! Should I cancel my Premium membership on Crunchyroll.com after linking my account?
Yes! If you buy The Combo Pack you also get Crunchyroll.com Premium access. Please cancel your Crunchyroll.com membership so youdon'tget charged twice. No need for second charge!
I linked my Crunchyroll.com account to VRV and upgraded to VRV Premium and I am being billed twice now. Why?
Crunchyroll Premium and VRV PRemium are two different offers. To enjoy the whole VRV Premium offering, you will have to cancel your Crunchyroll membership. You will still be able to enjoy all your member benefits.
If I still had time left on my Crunchyroll account will that be moved to VRV?
No. The billing systems are separate. Account Linking only confirms your Premium status across Crunchyroll on VRV and the standalone Crunchyroll service. It does not transfer remaining time after you cancel. If you have prepaid time on Crunchyroll, a gift subscription, or are on a longer subscription plan, you might want to wait till that time is ending to get maximum value out of your plan before switching to a bundle deal.

Weve also expanded the free streaming service across mobile and living room devices, including Apple TV, PlayStation and Xbox consoles. We want to be be able to continue building the best collection of anime, even with the increasing cost of content and fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rates.

View ArticleWe charge every 30 days. It's not on a specific date of the month, it's just a cycle of 30 days. A double payment may happen for one of the following reasons.
You have 2 recurring membership subscriptions. You can be charged twice if you have 2 accounts that both have a recurring subscription. When this happens, you'll need to cancel the subscription on 1 of these accounts and continue using the other account.
We didn't receive your previous payment on time. When you use a card as your payment method and we don't receive payment immediately because of a funding issue, our system automatically retries the purchase a few times over the course of a 30 day period. If the payment is received within this period of time, your membership remains active and continues to automatically renew once your current month expires. The same thing happens when you pay through Paypal. This is your bank just catching you up from having missed the previous payment.
There was a system error that caused you to be charged twice.This is more likely to happen with iTunes subscriptions. To make changes to an iTunes account please click here:
You can verify whether or not you were charged twice by locating the last 3 entries for Crunchyroll on your bank statement. If you were only charged 3 times within the last 90 days, then you were not charged twice. If you see more than three charges, please contact us with the below info and we can provide further assistance.

View ArticleThis article explains how to disable AdBlock and Adbock Plus for individual domains, for example, Crunchyroll.com, using Chrome or Safari.
AdBlock and Adblock Plus are browser extensions that perform similar functions, butthey'refrom different organizations and are not related to each other. Other ad blocking extensions and browsers behave similarly, so if youre using one of them you should be able to figure out how to disable ad blocking by following this general approach.
Note that if you follow these instructions youll only be disabling ad blocking for one domain, or website. Youre not removing the extension or disabling it for other sites. Youre just turning it off while youre with us. For instructions on how to uninstall an ad blocker entirely, please refer to the documentation for the extension itself.
Disabling a blocker for a single domain is very simple process. We illustrate how to do it here, using Adblock Plus on Chrome. See below for considerations about other extensions and browsers.
EXAMPLE ONE: Adblock Plus on Chrome
Step 1: Locate the Adblock Plus icon on the Safari toolbar.
It looks like a stop sign with the letters ABP in its center, and is generally found to the right of the address bar.
You may see a number inside a small square below and to the right of the stop sign. This indicates the number of ads being blocked on the site. In this example, that number is 2.
Step 2: Click on the icon and select Enabled on this site.
When you click on this item the wording will change from Enabled to Disabled. That tells you that Adblock Plus is now disabled.
To see the effect, either refresh the page, or open a new tab and go to Crunchyroll.com. You will now see our advertisement as background.
Note that the number of ads blocked is now zero. Thats it, youre done!
EXAMPLE TWO: AdBlock on Chrome
Step 1: Locate the AdBlock icon on the Chrome toolbar.
It looks like a stop sign with the the image of a raised hand, palm facing you, in its center, and is generally found to the right of the address bar.
You may see a number inside a small square below and to the right of the stop sign. This indicates the number of ads being blocked on the site. In this example, that number is 1.
Step 2: Click on the icon and select Dont run on pages on this domain.
Step 3: Confirm your choice
When you click on Dont run on pages in this domain, another menu will appear.
To confirm your choice, click on the button labeled Exclude.
You will notice that the image of the hand in the stop sign has changed from a raised palm to a thumbs up, and the signs color has changed to green, indicating that that domain has been approved to show ads.
Note that the number of ads blocked is now zero, so the square has gone away. Thats it, youre done!
EXAMPLE THREE: Adblock Plus on Safari
Step 1: Locate the Adblock Plus icon on the Safari toolbar.
It looks like a stop sign with the letters ABP in its center, and is generally found to the left of the address bar.
You may see a number inside a small circle above and to the right of the stop sign. This indicates the number of ads being blocked on the site. In this example, that number is 1.
Step 2: Click on the icon and select Enabled on this site.
When you click on this item the wording will change from Enabled to Disabled. That tells you that Adblock Plus is now disabled.
To see the effect, either refresh the page, or open a new tab and go to Crunchyroll.com. You will now see our advertisement as background.
Note that the number of ads blocked is now zero. Thats it, youre done!
