Spotify not active. Exiting. #39

Closed TarekHC closed 8 years ago

TarekHC commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

I followed the readme file (installed dependencies, modified ~/.config/spotify/User//prefs and all) using Ubuntu 14.04, and the script is not working.

On debug mode, it prompts:

Ad block mode: automute_simple

Using cvlc for local playback

Spotify not active. Exiting.

Restoring settings

Is there any chance to fix the problem?

Thanks!

Hi @tialis, please see section Troubleshooting at Installation. Which Spotify do you use? If you used spotify-make, please symlink it (link my-spotify to spotify) so that our script recognizes the binary. Please notify us here regarding your results, so that we can classify your Issue correctly. Good luck!

I think the problem is now solved. I executed in a terminal the spotify-adkiller.sh, and saw the following error:

wmctrl: command not found

I installed the wmctrl package and the .log shows that the macro is still running. Maybe the wmctrl package should be added to the dependencies for Ubuntu?

Now that the macro seems to be running, ads are still not being muted. I have the same awk errors as bug number #37. I'll stay tuned.

Thanks!
