**Filter Is Loading, but the Mutes and Skips Are Early or Late?**

Continue below if your filter is loading, and the timing is simply late or early.

**Troubleshooting Steps**

**⚠️The troubleshooting steps in this article will NOT resolve the "Problem Detected!" status message.⚠️**

If you are seeing the “Problem Detected!” status message, please go to this article: ["Problem Detected!" Status Message](https://help.clearplay.com/docs/change-in-show-detected)

**Browser**

Google Chrome is our recommended browser.

If you are experiencing filter timing issues and are not using Google Chrome, first check whether the timing is working correctly in Google Chrome. If it is, we recommend using Google Chrome when watching movies with Clearplay.

The Clearplay extension may work in other Chromium-based browsers. Troubleshooting support is limited to Google Chrome. This includes issues such as:

- "No Filtering Options Yet"
- "Problem Detected!"
- Mutes and skips triggering late or early

For more information, please read the FAQ article [Recommended Browser](https://help.clearplay.com/docs/recommended-browser-1).

**Refresh Your Browser**

If the filter timings for a movie or TV show seem off, start by refreshing your browser to see if this resolves the issue.

**Perform a Hard Refresh**

If refreshing the browser doesn’t correct the filter timings, try a hard refresh. This forces the website to reload the movie page directly from the server, which can address lingering issues.

**Windows:**

1. Hold down **Ctrl** and click the browser’s Reload button.
2. Or, hold down **Ctrl** and press **F5**.

**macOS:**

1. Hold down **⌘ Cmd** and **⇧ Shift** keys and then press R.
2. Or, hold **⇧ Shift** and click the Reload button.
