[Feature Request] A standalone package?? #44

Open im-AMS opened 2 years ago

im-AMS commented 2 years ago

The script works good, but its a hassle with opening the terminal, running then open Spotify.

Im not that informed in this sort of programming, but is there a way where opening spotify automatically runs mitm, and quits when spotify closes?? possibly clone this repo in Spotify.app/Contents/MacOS and creating a script which runs mitm before opening Spotify binary.

#!/bin/zsh
cd {Spotify Adblock Directory Here}

number=$(ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -ci "Spotify")

if [ $number -gt 0 ] ;then
    echo "Spotify is found to be running, relaunching Spotify"
    pkill Spotify
    else
    echo "Spotify is not found to be running, launching Spotify"
fi

open -a Spotify
node mitm.js

Save this as a .sh file, running it should start the mitm service and open up spotify as well. You will have to close service and spotify manually though.

Although the script will start Spotify and spotify-adblock at the same time, it will not manage the proxy settings on Spotify.

So just note that whenever you start Spotify manually, you'll have to change the proxy settings to None or No Proxy or start spotify-adblock manually.

Can confirm that @adikpb's solution works for me. I wonder if I can add this script to the spotify launcher itself.
