Ads Not Blocked #41

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

I have been using spotifree and reccomending it to all my friends at absoloutely love it! Recently I was using Spotifree and it showed "active" and when the ad came on (It was about downtown abbey by warner music) and this ad made spotifree "offline" which is the state in which spotify is paused. This makes me think that spotify may be testing of how to make this app not work. :/

I don't know how you fixed this, or if this was a true issue in the first place; anyways last night I was prompted to update to 0.9.16.19.g1c9463fe and I carelessly did. Now Spotifree does not block any ad. I would gladly help with debug if I only knew how. I'm afraid they really changed the way the client behaves when playing ads.

Hey @shatteringlass, I guess there is a glitch in Spotify that causes its scripting APIs to break on update sometimes. Over there at #35, a couple of users have reported to have fixed this issue by completely reinstalling Spotify.
