    Arrival – The Roxie is 1.5 blocks from the 16th St BART stop. The sidewalks are fairly smooth, and the curbs have cuts for easier mobility whether you’re on wheels or on foot. The challenge at the Roxie is the slope into the front doors which is on the steeper side. It is nice to have someone assist a person in a wheelchair getting up the slope but it can be navigated without assistance.

    As of March 2021, both the Big Roxie and the Little Roxie have automated push-button door opening functionality. The Big Roxie has buttons on the inside and outside, and currently the Little Roxie has a button on the inside.

    Seating – All ADA seats are marked with blue signs.

    The Roxie has two wheelchair accessible spots with reserved ADA companion spots next to them. The outside armrests of these two companion seats can be lifted up.

    There are 4 other ADA accessible spots on the edge of the rows with more leg room. These spots are located 1/3 way down the rows of seats in the middle on both aisle sides of the auditorium with very good views of the screen.

    Bathrooms – As of December 2020, the Big Roxie now has an ADA compliant, wheelchair-accessible bathroom, with touchless faucet and soap dispenser, in addition to a smaller, non-ADA bathroom. All bathrooms are gender neutral. Frameline does not use the Little Roxie.

    The Roxie Theater has assisted listening devices and closed captioning devices available at concessions.

    Can I AirPlay to my AppleTV?
    You can AirPlay from most browsers if you have an AirPlay compatible TVs or streaming boxes by selecting the AirPlay button in the bottom right-hand side of the player. If the icon doesn’t appear, unfortunately casting is not supported on your device.

    Compatible Smart TV include select Samsung, LG, Sony, and VIZIO models.

    Compatible streaming boxes include AppleTV Gen4 and above, and select Roku HD streaming devices running the most up-to-date software.

    Can I use the web browser built into my TV?
    Maybe. Unfortunately many built-in Smart TV web browsers don’t support protected content playback. If you get a black screen or error message, it’s likely that your TV is not compatible. Try another method to get the video onto your TV.

    Can I connect my computer with a cable to watch on my TV?
    You can directly connect your laptop or computer using an HDMI cable, by following these steps:

    Make sure your computer is close enough to your TV for the HDMI cable to reach.

    Connect one end of the HDMI cable into your computer.
    Plug the other end of the cable into an available HDMI port on the TV. Take note of the HDMI input number.

    Using the TV’s remote control, set the TV to the HDMI input that matches the port you connected the cable to.

    If your computer’s display does not automatically appear on your television screen, you may need to have the computer manually detect the display:

    Windows: Right-click on the desktop and select “Display Settings” > “Detect” > “Multiple displays”, and select “Duplicate these displays”), and click Apply.

    Mac: Go to the Apple Menu and choose “System Preferences.” Choose “Displays”, and hold down the “Option” key to show the “Detect Displays” button. Click on “Detect Displays” while holding down the Option key.

    I have a pass and received an email from info@frameline.org inviting me to join CineSend.
    Yes, that is our screening platform provider. Please use that link to join our Digital Screening Room.

    I renewed my pass, does my password and email still work at watch.frameline.org?
    If you renewed, your account is still active.

    What happens if I forget my streaming pass password?
    Use the password reset option on the login page to reset your password. You will need access to the e-mail address you use to log in.

    Why does video playback stall or not play smoothly?
    We use adaptive bitrate streaming which means the streaming quality will automatically adjust based on your internet speed. If your internet connection is poor or inconsistent, you may experience problems during playback. If you’re on wifi, try moving closer to your router.

    I see a black screen when I’m trying to AirPlay on my TV.
    You likely have “Screen Mirroring” turned on in your device settings. Please turn off the screen mirroring setting and start AirPlay by selecting the AirPlay button in the bottom right-hand side of the player.

    I see a black screen but can hear audio.
    If you have an external display or TV connected with an HDMI cable, try disconnecting it. If videos play after it is disconnected, then unfortunately the display or cable doesn’t support encrypted video. Try another method.

    Why do I see a black screen after the pre-roll if I am casting to Chromecast?
    Some Chromecast versions cannot support transitions from one video to another. If this happens, turn off casting and restart it once the film starts playing.

    Are there geographical restrictions limiting where a film can be viewed from?
    Films are now available for viewing in the US.
