Viewing Issues
From time to time you might not be able to watch your desired video. The following are some of the situations in which this might occur.
International:
Many of the content providers in the US utilize technology to limit access to US-based
users only. Until these sources are able to resolve various business and legal issues
surrounding international streaming, their videos will not be available to users outside of
the US. Although we help you find this content, we unfortunately have no control over
the international viewing limitations the content providers have set in place.
Broken and Incorrect Links:
From time to time the content providers will take down their links and their videos
without our knowledge. We try to identify and correct these problems as quickly as
possible. If you find any content that has been removed, links that do not work, or links
that play a different video than what you were expecting, please let us know at
help@clicker.com and we will correct the error as quickly as possible.
Videos not Streaming:
If your video is correct but does not play, or the video starts and stops randomly, confirm that
your computer meets the minimum requirements to watch online videos. Update to the
most recent drivers of your hardware, software and plugins. Make sure that your internet
connection is fast enough to support video streaming.
Availability:
In a show page, you can view a list of all the videos in our database, or view a list of
only the videos available to watch. We default to showing you only the videos available to watch online.
Programming Notes:
Clicker is the complete programming guide for internet television. We have no control
over shows and videos that are unavailable. To help you in your search for great programming,
we have attached programming notes for shows and videos to explain why the programs appear
the way they do on our site. Shows and videos that are not available online will have a
programming note to indicate this. Keep an eye out for these notes to learn more about
the programming you are trying to watch.
iTunes:
Some of our content is provided through iTunes. When you click the Watch button,
iTunes will automatically open. At that point, you can either download or view the video
on iTunes.
Amazon:
Some of our content is provided through Amazon's Video on Demand service. Amazon is
considered a "Pay Source", meaning the user must purchase or rent the content to view it.
When the user selects to watch Amazon content, Clicker links to a page on Amazon.com
where the user can purchase the selected content.
Netflix:
Some of our content is provided through Netflix's Watch Instantly Streaming service.
Netflix is considered a "Pay Source", meaning the user must have an account with Netflix
to watch their available content. When the user selects to watch Netflix content, Clicker
links to a page on Netflix.com where the user can either log in to their Netflix account,
or sign up for an account. If the user is already logged in to their Netflix account,
Clicker will link directly to the content selected.

You can sort your list of videos by either Air Date or Date Added. Air Date sorts your
videos by their original airing on television or upload onto the internet. Date Added sorts
your videos by the date when you added them into your playlist. You can filter your playlist
in a number of different ways. You can filter by videos watched or unwatched, by online
availability, or by show.

In your playlist page, you can edit the episodes and shows you have added. You can
remove episodes and shows, and mark items as "Watched" or "Unwatched". To make edits
to your playlist, check the box of the episodes or shows you wish to edit. To make batch
edits, first filter for the videos you want to modify, then click on the square checkbox
next to "Show Name" in your playlist to select all filtered videos. Once you have what
you wish to edit selected, you can click the Action buttons in the top of your playlist.
You can "Remove", "Mark as Watched" or "Mark as Unwatched" your selected videos.
