Spotify gets relaunched on quit #40

Closed mfpierre closed 9 years ago

mfpierre commented 9 years ago

Hi,

While using Spotifree and after playing one song (you can just go directly to the end of the song) when I quit Spotify (+Q) it gets immediately relaunched and hidden.

It is quite annoying since I have to quit Spotify two times in a row after each use.

Thanks

HA! Waiting for someone to post this! I've been creating this "Shutdown App" in applescript that i've posted to github and i've had to do about an extra 100 lines of code just to make it so this doesn't happen. I've later removed this and told them how to fix the problem. What you do is you pause spotify and then you quit it will then stop. So when using my shutdown app or when using spotify or closing it or whatever remember to pause it before closing it. To fix this i've installed an app called USB Overdrive....it cost some money but is free if you are willing to wait 10 seconds every time you open it in system preferences. Also it has a helper that runs on startup that you have to have the helper or the app itself will not work. So what it does is you can program any key to do anything you want so my media keys on my mac I have to contorl spotify and one to shut it down so i pause and then shutdown. I could have 1 button that puases and shutsdown but then if it is already paused it will play and then shutdown causing it to open again. Anyways thats all I have to help and hopefully it helps!

Hi, Are you using Spotifree 1.5?

mfpierre commented 9 years ago

Spotifree 1.5 / Latest Spotify (0.9.4.13) / Mac OS 10.9.5

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

Cool, thanks. Can you check if the older (AppleScript) version is not running as well?

mfpierre commented 9 years ago

How can I check this ?

Here is the gif of the issue spotifree_

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

You can simply open the Activity Monitor, and search for "Spotifree" there.

Nop, there's only the App

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

I can reproduce this on 10.10 as well. Will look into this issue, but I doubt if anything could be done, as Spotify must be constantly polled in order to detect the ads right away.

Like what I said i think that this is a spotify issue.....if it is an issue with you spotifree then hmmm not really sure. Anyways I just recently installed the app (about a month ago) and I love it but this still happens to me. Like I said whatever problem it is I still love spotifree to death :)

mfpierre commented 9 years ago

I've tested with and without spotifree launched, it is definitely caused by spotifree.

As @ArtemGordinsky said it's constantly checking for spotify if it's playing ads and at some point the check is relaunching the app because it didn't have time to notice it has closed or something like that.

Hi,

I've the same issue, and only when spotifree is active. I tried a clean reinstall of spotify but no change... Thanks for helping !
