crackle

​When trying to watch a show on the app Crackle (offered by Xfinity) - it asks me to activate on their website with a  code. However, the code doesn't work and Crackle says Xfinity needs to update the app on their platform. The code Xfinity offers is a 5 letter code and needs to be 6 letters or else that proves the app needs updating and Crackle can't activate until that happens. I can watch it by going in to my LG TV menu, but not from the XFinity menu which is what I use of course with the Dvr and box. Is this being addressed by Xfinity, or why even offer it for programs? thanks​

Can you log back out of crackle as since its a free on demand subscription through Xfinity its should not ask to activate a subscription

@XfinityOrlandoM​ I am now not able to get to Crackle through Xfinity at all. Whether from the Apps menu or through a show episode that says 'play on Crackle', I click on Crackle and it just times out to a blank screen evenutally. I have to go back to 'last' to get back to Xfinity menus.
