📝 Description

Installing the script is perfectly fine, and no ads are to be seen, but when launching there is no more lyrics. Existing issue already was "resolved", but the "fix" does not fix the issue.

You didn't share terminal input as requested in template but it seems -e was not used which may be required if lyrics are not showing for you.. as the "fix" is in the experimental patches subset. And since SpotX was already ran, you'd also need the -f flag to force a re-patch.

typing in multiple flags does not work? like for example when i add -e -f to the command, it does not register the flags.

as already shown in the example in the readme, combine them: -ef

[galaxian01]

sorry but adding both flags still does not work? still no lyrics show...

I would suspect this is due to cached app data conflicting with the new settings. you can try re-running SpotX with the -cef flags and have SpotX attempt to clear Spotify app data..

but due to so many file location variables with Spotify on Linux it may notbe able to find the proper location where app cache is located on your system. And in that case you would need to manually locate your Spotify cache folder and delete it. By default, the location SpotX looks for app cache is CACHE_PATH="${HOME}/.cache/spotify/".

i get bash: -c: option requires an argument when trying to add -cef argument.

also tried deleting cache folder and reinstalling but still no change.
