Unable to use `--oldui` option flag #29

I dislike the fact that this moves the lyrics button over to the right sidebar and i've used other forks of SpotX before but they only got rid of the popups, not the actual between-song ads and i know that the old ui option fixes the lyrics button however when i use it in the terminal command it says "Warning: Old UI not supported in clients after v1.2.13.661...". how can a get around that? also, i saw that there was older updates of this repo that say they work with my version of spotify (1.2.26.1187) such as this and i was wondering if using that would do it. i don't know how to get that one though so i can't test it. i can program but i don't know much about shell scripting at all.

Any other forks of SpotX are either unofficial or outdated and use commands from this repo. Windows is https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX and mac/linux is https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX-Bash

The title of this issue is misleading -- as the error message stated, the Old UI option requires 1.2.13.661 or earlier. Your client is too new. If you had a supported client, it would work. You being unable to use something does not mean the script is broken.. you just haven't read through the README and FAQ.

  1. Uninstall current client, install 1.2.13.661. This is what the -V <version> flag is for. Assuming you are running macOS, of course. Since you felt like skipping the required template that provides info so we can properly answer things, I just have to guess. If using Linux, installing older versions depends on your method of installation and is outside the scope of this repo.
  2. Stay on current version (or any recent version) and enable developer mode and toggle the experimental feature in the Remote Config section to disable moving lyrics into the right sidebar. You want to disable enableRightSidebarLyrics -- ALL experimental features can be toggled here.

The README and FAQ explain everything outlined in this response. Read it. Apply it. Things covered in the README and FAQ do not belong here.

Using previous commit versions of SpotX-Bash is not required -- all previous versions are supported and goes up to the version stated in the readme. The latest commit for SpotX-Bash supports v1.2.26.x just fine.
