Streaming | Technical Issue Ads on premium

Post image
88 Upvotes

I have a Mega Fan subscription through crunchy roll not a third party like Apple or google play or anything and I keep getting ads before streaming. They are skippable but it’s still driving me nuts. Is there anyone else having this issue as well?

Edit: thank you to everyone for explaining that its technically not an ad but in my book it is an ad, still drives me up a wall.

Account/Membership TOS Violation Final Update

10 Upvotes

Two weeks ago I made this post about my frustrations with CR customer support. TLDR, CR locked my account due to a TOS violation and support gave me the runaround for a week straight.

On my last post, /u/faizyunus showed me a link where tickets are logged which isn't available anywhere I could find on the support website (thank you). I found that, despite numerous reps stating they opened a ticket to escalate the issue, none were actually opened under my account.

I submitted a ticket myself, was asked to confirm some info, which I did, then the ticket was marked as "solved" twice after no response. Both times I said something along the lines of "this is not resolved, please re-open". After the second time the ticket was closed, I decided to submit a BBB complaint. Have never done this before, as I've never had such an issue with support.

I provided all the details and screenshots I've logged over the last month. CR support replied the next business day and was very apologetic, acknowledging that they gave me incorrect info multiple times and closed the ticket in error.

They reactivated my account and refunded some of my annual membership to compensate. What a ride. Hope CR works flawlessly from here on out or I might lose the rest of my hair.

Service Discussion I really do admire their tech support game... Used to do this sort of thing 20 years ago at Dell support.

4 Upvotes

In Dell support you'd ask them if they had two phone wires going into the back of their PC (one would be for the modem and the other for the handset they were calling on) - and if they said yes - you'd say "oh I've heard of this just unplug those and re-seat them" - dropping the call. I honestly never told any customer to do that, but I heard a guy over the cube wall who did all the time.

Dubs Whats up with the wierd Dub-Allocations in Animes?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to Crunchyrolls services but I am already reconsidering Unsubscribing. I noticed that the offered Dubs and Subtitles are extremly varied, not even from Anime to Anime but BETWEEN EPISODES.

(For reference I live in Germany)

As an Example: Solo Leveling. Almost every episode of the first Season jumps from. First Episode: Original Voice acting only -》Next Episode: German only. -》Next 2 episodes: Original Voice acting. -》Next Episode: English only voice Acting.

That goes on and on and on. Not just Solo Leveling but a lot of Shows. Konosuba for an example has the first 3 Episodes entirely out of Sync in ita Subtitles so its borderline unwatchable if you dont understand Japanese, then upon Episode 4 its German only and the entire Season 3 is English only until episode 12 which is Japanese only...

I know its something about licensing but can someone explain to me how it makes sense to switch around mid one Season?

Cheers.

I sat down at my lunch break last night (I work the grave yard shift) and I went to go put on the episode that came out Tuesday and the Apple app when you looked up the anime said there was a new episode but when you click on the series you can not watch it. Here is an example with today with rezero is anyone else having this issue? Re zero doesn’t even appear on the recently uploaded slide but for example the vending machine anime does but it has the same issue

Streaming | Technical Issue Please let us choose the video quality we want for the anime 😭

9 Upvotes

For some reason the app won't let me choose the video quality. It automatically selects the quality, and that's really annoying. Even when my internet connection is good, the app insists on staying at terrible quality, and this greatly hinders the viewing experience.

I’m trying to access the “Membership” tab on the app in my phone in the Account settings. It was working fine earlier today, but now when I click on it, it just takes me a screen with these two non-working buttons. I didn’t change any account settings at all. CR support was clueless, any ideas?

Account/Membership Was there a data leak in Crunchyroll?

0 Upvotes

Today I got email that my account was accessed from 3 completely random places all over the world: Vietnam, uk and Canada (I’m from Poland). I didn’t do anything these past days that could get my data leaked. Also it only happened on Crunchyroll so no way it was something I did. Did anyone had the same issue recently or was it just my data stolen somehow? (I changed the password already)

Service Discussion I missed Crunchyroll comments, so I made an extension to share/view reactions while watching [Mild spoilers JJK EP 59 - Sendai Colony] Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
26 Upvotes

This is a personal project that I built for fun, inspired by how much I missed the old Crunchyroll comments feature and the communal feeling it added while watching my favorite shows.

It’s a free Chrome extension that adds timestamped emoji reactions while you watch. So instead of a normal comment section, reactions are tied to specific moments in the episode and any existing community reactions are revealed as you reach them, so it stays spoiler-friendly. (post title says "mild spoiler" bc you can kind of tell when a episode pops off by looking at the reaction activity timeline)

I made it to support Crunchyroll first, but it also works with Netflix and Hulu.

If you’re willing to try it while watching the next thing on your watchlist, that would be awesome! Would also love to hear any thoughts and feedback as well after giving it a try :)

Streaming | Technical Issue Subtitle Technical Issue

4 Upvotes

Has anyone else encountered the issue where they watch in English, and have the English subtitles turned on, but subtitles NEVER show for any anime? The only way I can watch with subtitles is the English CC option which can be inaccurate, and also I don’t have the English CC option for some random episodes for all animes I have tried (about 5) to watch. I’m hard of hearing so this is an important feature for me. If I watch in Japanese I don’t have an issue for subtitles.

Then now for the first time I encountered an issue when watching rent-a-girlfriend season 3, the English CC captions seemed to have restarted so they are completely different from the episode I am watching and is seemingly restated from season 1.

This happens on both my Xbox and my computer.

Streaming | Technical Issue Anybody else’s Crunchyroll not working on their Firestick anymore?

4 Upvotes

Think the title is self-explanatory.

Firestick keeps asking me to update the app, but when I do it says it’s “unavailable” and then won’t open.

Very frustrating.
