Spotifree broken with latest update 0.9.16.25.g241bf986. #46

Closed carthach closed 9 years ago

carthach commented 9 years ago

Version 0.9.16.25.g241bf986.

Not muting Spotify ads. Maybe they've changed something like the detection of track 0.

Happening for anyone else?

mpitt commented 9 years ago

Same issue with Spotify version 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd on Mac OS.

gina4eva commented 9 years ago

The same thing is happening to me. Spotify version 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd Mac OS.

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

@carthach Have you tried following the troubleshooting instructions? @mpitt Doubtfully the same. I have 0.9.16.25, and AppleScript support is still there. @gina4eva What's your Spotify version?

gina4eva commented 9 years ago

Spotify version 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd. I re-downloaded spotifree and it's still not working. It worked perfectly before last night. Thank you!

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

@gina4eva Sorry, Spotify of versions newer than 0.9.16 work with Spotifree anymore. I don't know if this is permanent, but for the time being you can download an older version here (quit Spotify and replace it with the downloaded app).

gina4eva commented 9 years ago

@ArtemGordinsky Thank you for the download! It seems to be working! Thank you!! That's weird Spotify updated itself without me doing anything or knowing about it.

gina4eva commented 9 years ago

@ArtemGordinsky Oh no. It's not actually working. Spotifree says it's active and I'm using the older version of Spotify you gave me, but the adds are audible. Thank you for your help anyway.

carthach commented 9 years ago

http://spotify.en.uptodown.com/mac/old 0.9.15 version there.

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

@carthach Thanks for the link! I guess 0.9.16 didn't work for you either?

carthach commented 9 years ago

Afraid not!

Confirmed broken on 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd

@ArtemGordinsky - Am I understanding you correctly that Spotifree is permanently broken? What changed to cause this?

Previous 1.x version were working for me.

samuela commented 9 years ago

Same as @mpitt here.

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

@jessesquires As far as I can tell, since 1.0.1 Spotify has lost its AppleScript interface. I'm not sure if this was caused by a bug, or it was taken out on purpose to counteract Spotifree.

jessesquires commented 9 years ago

@ArtemGordinsky - Ahh interesting.

Also of note with this latest release: Previously, if you muted your computer from the keyboard (F10) the ad would pause. Thus, forcing you to listen to the ad. Now, this is no longer the case. You can mute your audio and the ad will continue to play.

I wonder if these changes are related?

gina4eva commented 9 years ago

@carthach Thank you!! That version is working! Thank you.

fehmi commented 9 years ago

@carthach @gina4eva Old version is working but it has auto update feature. It installs the new version after every restart :(

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

@fehmi I haven't checked if it works now, but I used to be able to stop auto updates by following this guideline:

  1. Quit Spotify;
  2. Press ⇧ + ⌘ + G, paste in ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify;
  3. If present, delete Spotify_new.archive and Spotify_new.archive.sig;
  4. Open a text editor (e.g. Sublime Text);
  5. Create two blank documents named Spotify_new.archive and Spotify_new.archive.sig;
  6. Save both to ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify;
  7. Right click each file and go to Get Info
  8. Check the Locked checkbox on each and close info the windows;
  9. Start Spotify again.

fehmi commented 9 years ago

@ArtemGordinsky @carthach Works great with 0-9-15-17. Thank you. But I wonder how long it works that way?

enellis commented 9 years ago

The AppleScript interface is still there!!! They moved the AppleScript definition file into a folder so it cannot be read anymore. It happened by accident I guess.

Try moving Spotify.app ▸ Contents ▸ Resources ▸ applescript ▸ Spotify.sdef to Spotify.app ▸ Contents ▸ Resources ▸ Spotify.sdef and restart Spotify & Spotifree.

I will add the fix to SpotiFree pretty soon...

artemgordinskiy commented 9 years ago

@E-n-e-a-s Great! Glad to see you here :)

jessesquires commented 9 years ago

:beers: :clap:

samuela commented 9 years ago

Hmm, fix doesn't seem to work for me. That said, it does show up on the AppleScript Editor now.

enellis commented 9 years ago

Yep, this is because there is a bug in ad detection anyway (see #44). New version will be out probably tomorrow.

fehmi commented 9 years ago

Seems to new version will be out soon. How can we re enable auto update then :)

gina4eva commented 9 years ago

@carthach Thank you for the disabling-Spotify-autoupdate script! Everything is working great now.

carthach commented 9 years ago

It's not my script, but glad to share the find!
