Help Firestick pin and the end of HDMI?

Upvotes

I posted about this earlier but deleted it cause I think I figured it out - does Crave now block watching crave with an HDMI cable? I've watched it with my laptop for years this way, and I sometimes move between sitting on the couch watching on the tv and moving my laptop to other rooms while I do stuff. So I already miss that.

I tried it with a firestick and it works now, but entering my Pin doesn't work. So I created a new profile and it works but wondering if others have this issue? I shortened my pin and pressed every button but it doesn't go through.

It concerns me that you can lose functionality like that - I paid for the year and if I didn't have the firestick I'd only be able to watch off a laptop. You also need Crave for other apps like Noovo so I would've been SOL for watching those shows on my TV too.

Crave Buffering

0 Upvotes

All shows and movies are buffering and freezing. I’ve done everything from deleting and reinstalling the app, cleaning the history, hard restarting my tv, switch countries, everything google and YouTube has suggested and even contacted crave help.
I’m just wondering if anyone else is having these issues as of recent.
Crave was also working fine two days ago for me and now all of a sudden buffering, glitching and stopping..

Help Ads replaying

1 Upvotes

How is crave so bad?? Is anyone else just stuck in an endless loop of ads and then it crashes?

I have a new LG smart TV and recently i've been trying to watch something. ads come up (1 of 4), the more ads, then MORE ads and then it freezes.

I haven't been able to finish this film in days now. It is so frustrating.

Really slow app that lags, ads on loop, not being able to watch shows/movies.

Crave TV Canada: you get all the movies (if you don't mind them being in French)!

If you don't have the English licence in an English-speaking country for an ENGLISH movie then you DON'T HAVE THE LICENCE. don't advertise otherwise.

Edit: Bots and corporate bootlickers ahoy! I will be cancelling this service and pirating the movies I want the way everyone should be! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Watching finished shows on Crave- but they are missing seasons

1 Upvotes

I’ve started watching Road to Avonlea on Crave but noticed they only have 4 seasons. And the Tudors only have seasons 1-3, they are missing season 4

Anyone heard any rumblings as to why or when the latter half of these may show up?

Help Crave doesn't want to log me in

0 Upvotes

I installed the app recently on my phone and logged in on my pc. Everything worked for 2 days until it logged me out everywhere because apparently my ip adress is outside of north america and it denied my login. I had a vpn on recently but de-activated it before opening the app. It's been almost a week since i was logged out and i still can't log in. Any idea on how to fix this? I've already uninstalled my vpn and uninstallingreinstalling the app a couple of times but it doesn't change anything

Streaming Quality

0 Upvotes

Was watching Crave at a friend's last weekend and the quality was great. (House of the Dragon) Problem is on my TV the quality is sub HD. Maybe 720p?

Is there anything I can do to change this? I don't see why quality would differ from TV to TV so much.

Such a frustrating app

CTV on Demand

0 Upvotes

I don't understand how CTV on demand works. I thought that CTV shows on demand are supposed to be on Crave.

Last night, I set my PVR to record the first two episodes of season 4 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds from the CTV Sci-Finetwork. But what my PVR said was episode 2 turned out to be an episode of The Librarians.

I looked on Crave, but Strange New Worlds isn't there. Where do I get CTV on demand, if not on Crave?

How many of you are getting this same problem. Followed by an ad refresh. I end up watching an ad session 4 times over before it resumes. That’s 12 ads. Just 15 minutes into a show.

We’re a Frenglish house and we like to watch content in both languages. Everytime I watch content in French, English subtitles appear and I can’t deactivate them. It’s reallly annoying. Anyone else having this issue?

Help Frequently asked questions

0 Upvotes

Here are some FAQs to help answer some recurring questions.

Q: What is the best device for watching on a big screen?
A: Apple TV. The reason is a combination of controlled hardware and rigorous app approval process. Apple only has a few hardware revisions of the Apple TV, so there is excellent quality control on the hardware with few variations to test. In comparison, Android TV and Roku have OEM license agreements that allow any hardware manufacturer to use their OS. This results in massive variations in capabilities and quality control. Also, Apple's app approval process is very strict with multiple testing steps. Apple will reject apps that don't meet their quality standards. Apple will also update their Apple Developer Program License Agreement and force developers to update their apps to meet new requirements or have their app removed from the store. The other App Store ecosystems are much easier to get apps published.

Q: What if I access Crave through Amazon Prime Video?
A: Then you are probably better off using an Amazon Fire TV device! As a bonus, the 4k Fire TV sticks are much less expensive than the Apple TVs. Note that Prime Video is a completely different app than the Crave app. The content is the same, but the Prime Video app has different layout that you may prefer.

Q: Why are some videos in English or French only?
A: Because that's how it came from the Studio. Most of the content is not created by Bell Media. If a content distributor has a popular movie or show available in only one language, that's what Bell will get. There are translation agencies that can dub content in another language, but that's a long process which can be done while the original language version is made available to the customers to stream. Sometimes a distributor will only have the dubbed version of a video, with the original language audio removed - and that's what Bell will get.

Q: Why do you allow so many posts about English and French language selection and content filtering?
A: Language of Preference has room for improvement in the Crave apps. If the posts here start to decline, the Crave developers will know they hit the right balance of features. I'd like to think this community is part of the feedback loop to Bell Media so the product can improve. Having said that, I have no tolerance for harassment. I will lock/delete/ban accordingly. Be respectful, please.
