Cannot reproduce. After 5 songs ad was blocked, only blinked for a half of second

@piquark6046 @Sergey-Lyapin Please take a look.

[piquark6046]

Spotify does not accept creating a free account in South Korea. Using Proton VPN to create one does not help for me.

[Sergey-Lyapin]

The leftover of the ad just flashes for a split second. Can't capture the moment.

I often get advertisements that appear in the middle of songs then I tried to open a full album from the beginning while recording the HAR, and I got an ad when switching songs from third to fourth

example of a HAR file that I recorded (inside ZIP) open.spotify.com.zip

Caching was not disabled, and I see nothing useful. Could you please record gain?

do you mean this? it is disabled while recording

[Alex-302]

@abidjauhar17 Yes. Before reproducing and saving, page reload is required with opened devtools.

@abidjauhar17 Yes. Before reproducing and saving, page reload is required with opened devtools.

oh I understand now. When I see the ad I mean, I have to reload the page with devtools open

OK, I'll try it again

[Alex-302]

No, open devtools, and after that - the site, and wait for ads as usual)

[abidjauhar17]

@Alex-302 I've recorded it again and this time tried to play from the first song to the tenth and found the same thing (there was an ad at the transition from the third to the fourth song) and also from the ninth song to the tenth song I didn't have time to screenshot the ad from the third song to the fourth song

HAR file open.spotify.com.zip

[Alex-302]

@abidjauhar17 Same - no content.

That requests must be modified by ||audio-ak*-spotify-com.akamaized.net/audio/$media,~xmlhttprequest,redirect=noopmp4-1s,domain=spotify.com

Details


Do you have original Chrome?

[abidjauhar17]

@Alex-302 I don't have Chrome. I use Opera btw Does it have to be on Chrome?

[Alex-302]

I don't know, but you may test.

[Alex-302]

Checked in Opera - ad is blocked (blinks for a second with old filters).

[Fabian42]

Audio ads still play at the beginning of every episode except 1 and trailer in this podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1TthQOE4Fx6gBPW8l48cfN The issue seems be caused by a somewhat recent change to Spotify (at most a few months old), all other adblockers also fail at this (browser extensions, modifications to clients, completely custom clients, downloaders, …).

[Alex-302]

@Fabian42 Could you please record a HAR file?

@AdamWr Can you reproduce it? On my end after 14 songs I see blocked ad request and hidden banners.

[AdamWr]

No, I cannot. Usually there is visible notice that ad is playing (like in https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/174893#issuecomment-1998861463) and I don't see anything like that on mentioned podcasts. Ads between songs are automatically skipped after 1 second by this rule:

||audio-ak*-spotify-com.akamaized.net/audio/$media,~xmlhttprequest,redirect=noopmp4-1s,domain=spotify.com

on my end.

[Fabian42]

This will have to wait until the 6th of April at least. I am on my last bits of mobile data and getting "too many requests" for some reason.

[Fabian42]

I still get 429 or sometimes 403, I cannot open Spotify at all. I give up, Spotify is sh*t.
