I love this hack. I just updated to Spotify for macOS (Apple Silicon) 1.2.38.720.ga4a70a0e this morning & reinstalled the hack. The ads are not shown in Spotify, but I still get the audio commercials in a certain time frame. Hopefully you will find the fix soon. Thank you for all of your hard work!

I had to run the startup command three times when normally it would only take running the command once to get it to work. I've had issues with getting it to work on this imac more than any other imac I've used. It also seems like the program randomly stops working after not opening spotify for a few days and I have to re-run the commands again.

can i get the full lyrics with this crack ?

so the script says that spotify isn't in the /opt/spotify path, even though it is there. i used the script like 2/3 hours ago, and it worked just fine with the same OS etc. apprarently some of the changes broke it. i've already tried rebooting, setting the path via -P and so on, but nothing worked.

I guess instead of performing write operations on files, we could simply copy them and perform write operations on copies instead. This would enable the program to not require root access.

I believe the feature won't introduce any disk space overhead. (had a quick look at the code and there is already copy mechanism for backup and later uninstallation)

Also uninstallation process will potentially get simpler as it won't require any operations on the files we wrote something to.

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.

I get the error below when I try to update via the bash script

As title states, the lyrics button disappears entirely after installation but comes back after uninstalling Spotx with --uninstall
Tried installing without experimental features but same thing happened.

Spotify version is 1.2.22.982 running on Debian 12.

Is there any reason for why a lot of the variables use encoded strings? I know these can be easily decoded but what's the purpose?

Examples:

This happened today, I have something similar on my iPhone too and I'm getting ads there too. It seems like spotify might have found a way to show us ads through some sort of server side changes.

Please add the possibility to patch lyrics colors too, similar to windows's version where it's dark background and green text. Reading the lyrics with red backgrounds really destroys my eyes. I wonder why Spotify doesn't patch it itself.

Thank you :D

📝 Description

After applying, audio ads still play. Here an ad plays at the beginning.
I do have the Spicetify package installed, but I used spicetify restore before applying SpotX. I also performed the reinstallation steps from the troubleshooting page without doing anything Spicetify-related in the meantime.
(I removed a ton of locale warnings (and the ASCII art) from the output, which appear all the time on my system, but never have any effects. I tried to fix them, but did not succeed. It should be unrelated to this problem.)
