Automatic resume of songs after add skipped

[spectrum705]

can we please have the next song resumed after the ad is skipped?

[AnonymouX47]

It already does that.

oh, for some reason pause and resume aren't working on mine

Please can you explain better, what exactly are you referring to?... The script actually has no "pause/resume" option, though it internally uses it.

1. Are you referring to when using the "skipping track" functionality?
2. What OS are you on?

[spectrum705]

yes, the "skip track" isn't workingon mine. And when after the ad the app restarts the song doesn't resume automatically. I am using ubuntu 20.04

What package manager did you install Spotify with?

[spectrum705]

I used snap

[AnonymouX47]

Oh, I see... I'm on Pop OS (derivative of Ubuntu) and I installed mine via APT (i.e the native version) and everything works fine.

From what i know, programs installed via snap, flatpak and co are running within a container which limits them from having direct access to the OS and hardware, so it's very likely the virtual keyboard events sent by pynput are not seen by programs running in a container.

The best solution i'll suggest is re-installing Spotify via APT, you can simply follow the steps on their official website.

It seems to work fine when installed via apt, thank you for your help. ^_^

[spectrum705]

[AnonymouX47]

You're welcome.
