[Adblock BUG] Doesnt block podcast ads #63

Adblock does not block podcast ads.

Same bug.

CharlieS1103 commented 1 year ago

Not a bug, just couldn't figure it out and not many people use podcasts on Spotify

RomsYT commented 1 year ago

Ah, I misspoke. I have a problem where audio ads are not blocked when I listen to my music (not podcasts). I tried several ways to fix this problem but none worked.

The thing with those, is that it's directly included into the actual audio feed of the podcast. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Content-Questions/Premium-account-and-still-gets-ads-in-podcasts/td-p/5287217 Premium paying users also get those integrated ads. Sadly, there's no easy doable ways to handle this.

I think what is meant is the regular regional audio ad from Spotify itself, which is activated in some exclusive podcasts for all types of accounts.

For example, this podcast includes such audio ad.

@amd64fox didnt I try to help you with something similar to this a while ago, did I end up getting it?

amd64fox commented 1 year ago

Indeed, there were attempts on your part, but I never received a response from you in Discord. In SpotX, I am already blocking this audio ad. @jetfir3 helped me; he found a way to block it through a binary file.

CharlieS1103 commented 1 year ago

@amd64fox mind dming me about said binary file on discord

amd64fox commented 1 year ago

For Windows, search for the following in the Spotify.exe file:

slots(?=.{3,8}override_url)

and replace it with for example

slott

by doing this, we disrupt the creation of audio ad slots for podcasts.

CharlieS1103 commented 1 year ago

Oh sick I can implement this in spicetify probably

moeengames commented 1 year ago

CharlieS1103 it doesnt block ads anywhere. sometimes it does but most of the times i mute and guess when will the ad finishes

rpgdev commented 10 months ago

Getting ads on podcasts too. I didn't use to get them for months but today just got my first, first time playing a podcast on Spotify in weeks too.

@CharlieS1103 Did that ever happen?

CharlieS1103 commented 5 months ago

@Fabian42 Nope, likely won't.
