Legally supported devices Clearplay only provides legal methods for accessing movies for filtering. As such, our filtering works on Mac and PC laptops and desktop computers.  We do this so movies and TV shows are legally streamed directly from a streaming service’s authorized website. We understand this isn’t perfectly convenient — but it is legal. Pro Tip - HDMI cable Often our customers will simply purchase an inexpensive laptop that they connect to their television as a dedicated entertainment device.  We recommend connecting the laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable.

Filtering for Netflix can be affected by: Watching Netflix content using the Edge browser Watching Netflix content on an older computer When watching content on Netflix with the Edge browser or an older computer, Clearplay must adjust for differences in how Netflix runs on Edge compared to Chrome. The timing of skips and mutes is sensitive and varies by browser. If you're using Microsoft Edge, Arc, Opera, Brave, or Tusk instead of Chrome, skips and mutes may trigger too early or too late, affecting how well the content filters. For better performance, we recommend switching to Chrome. If you're using an older computer, upgrading to one with more processing power and memory should also improve filtering.

There are two different status messages you might see when filtering isn’t available: “Can’t Filter!” Status Messages When the “Can't Filter!” status message appears, it serves as a safety feature to inform you that the mutes and skips no longer fully cover the inappropriate content. This happens when the streaming service loads a version of the movie with a runtime that doesn’t match what we originally recorded in our filter library. If the movie is longer or shorter, the content intended for filtering shifts to occur before or after the mutes and skips. Why Wasn’t I Warned About This Before I Started Watching The Movie? Our extension can’t detect that there is a runtime difference until the movie starts playing. “No Filtering Options Yet” Status Messages This message appears if Clearplay has not created a filter for the movie or TV show. If it …

Q: Why is there an ‘Audio Mute’ message on my screen during movie playback? A: Your Blu-ray player has detected a copyright problem with the movie you're trying to watch, due to Cinavia protection. Cinavia blocks playback of unauthorized DVDs or Blu-ray discs that weren't made or distributed by the movie's studio, protecting their copyright. Q: What is Cinavia? A: Since 2012, Cinavia technology has been required in all Blu-ray players. This technology, mandated by the AACS † consortium — which includes major companies like IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Disney, and Warner Bros. — analyzes audio from DVDs and Blu-ray movies. It ensures that these players meet strict industry standards for copyrighted material, playing a crucial role in protecting DVD and Blu-ray content. Q: What happens when unauthorized content is detected? A: When unauthorized content is detected, the audio is temporarily muted …

We know watching a family movie on a computer screen isn’t ideal. Since our support staff is trained to help with Clearplay features, not with screen mirroring, we’ve compiled a few suggestions to help you get a Clearplay-filtered movie from your computer to your TV.

With Clearplay on this laptop, it becomes a family entertainment solution readily available when you want to watch the latest movies and shows with filtering. Casting, Mirroring, and AirPlay Options (not recommended) Connecting your computer via casting, mirroring, or AirPlay is not recommended. Using these types of connections can cause issues with the filter …

Recommended Browser: We recommend you use the Chrome browser . Why have a recommended browser? For legal filtering, skipping and muting of content has to happen in real time as the movie plays. We’ve found that the timing of skips and mutes is sensitive and can vary depending on the internet browser being used. For example, if you’re using a non-Chrome browser—like Microsoft Edge, Arc, Opera, Brave Browser, or Tusk—the skips or mutes might happen a little too early or too late, which means the content doesn’t filter perfectly. To keep things consistent, all of Clearplay’s filters have been built around the timing of the Chrome browser. How do I install Chrome? To install Chrome on your laptop or desktop computer, simply click this link and follow the instructions: Other browsers: Technically, you can install our Google Chrome extension on Microsoft Edge, Arc, Opera …

Currently, there are no Clearplay apps for smartphones or similar devices. Overview Details Why it is important Overview: Creating an app that filters movies legally from a streaming provider has significant challenges. We want you to enjoy the show and have confidence that you are filtering within the bounds of the law. Details: Having your account with a streaming provider is not enough to ensure legality; the content must also be streamed without making an unauthorized copy. Both these requirements are met with Clearplay: Movies and TV shows are paid for by the customer (e.g., through a subscription or a one-time purchase with the streaming service), and That content is subsequently streamed without making an unauthorized copy (e.g. directly from the streaming service’s website). Both the above requirements are critical for legality. When customers stream movies and TV shows directly from the streaming service’s website …

The problem: During video skips on Disney+, you will sometimes see a black screen. This issue is unique to Disney+ and doesn't happen with other streaming services. Note: This issue does not occur on Disney content when played through Amazon streaming. It only occurs when playing content on the Disney+ streaming service. Why does it happen? The internal timers on the Disney+ streaming service are sometimes incorrect. For example, we may tell the video to skip ahead 20 seconds, but their internal timers only skips ahead 10 seconds. To prevent an inappropriate image from flashing on the screen, we have software that puts up a black screen while the skip finishes. Is this a permanent problem? No. We will keep pressing to invent a new solution for skipping on Disney+. It is a very tricky problem for a streaming service to have internal seeking methods that sometimes perform inaccurately …
