Spotblock-run starts Spotify muted and stays muted when I start or resume a song.

And when I unmute through here: or here: (by clicking the muted icon) And when I unmute it, Spotify plays music normally, but when an Advertisement comes up, it doesn't get muted.

This issue had started I think 4 days ago. And yes, I did update spotblock-rs after #7 was merged, but the problem was still there.

When you are unmuting it, was it initially muted due to the program, or did you mute it manually?

It was muted by the program.

Uhmmmm, what does spotblock-rs show when opening it in a terminal (with spotify running)? One more thing, what is the output of playerctl --player=spotify metadata --format '{{mpris:trackid}}' and pactl list sink-inputs when an ad is being reproduced?

@Taughtimp2786 this.

The only cause I can think of at the moment is that playerctl --player=spotify metadata --format '{{mpris:trackid}}' is returning an empty string.

I am not at home right now, so I can't test anything.

Ok so I ran that playerctl command, and it turned out I didn't have playerctl installed. I don't how the ads were being muted before. Anyways, after I installed playerctl, spotblock-rs started working normally.
