ads in New UI | Black Ad placeholder. #150
Comments
yes it is true there is the bar where the ads of spotify should appear but although there is it is blocked thanks to blockthespot and the songs work I hope you can remove it completely but everything works and nothing has appeared |
I have a workaround that works for now.
The div selector did not change even after I reinstalled, so I'm guessing it should be the same for everybody. |
it worked for me, thank you so much) |
this fix will it be added to blockthespot? |
@ronny941 if those files are not changed everytime after a new update, it will be added. |
the new update of spotify is now out |
files change, so this method is unlikely to be added to BTS |
ok I understand so you have to edit that file every time |
Maybe it will help yet, in the |
I can understand it because the files change with every spotify update and therefore it is impossible to always add these changes to blockthespot |
Hello everyone, maybe my script on Python will help someone. He removes the button and "Empty AD Block" (Alpha UI). EXE - file start even if you don't have python :) I would like the author to embed it or make his own workaround :) |
Use |
That doesn't matter at all, if you enable it the banner code is not run even if you are not premium. You need to disable it or you will continue to see ads. See blockthespot_log.txt
|
@Sruko BTS normally removes the banner for free users without editing the config. I think in the new UI banner is not being blocked correctly. |
You can easily test it yourself, if the code as is isn't already clear. If the option is enabled the process will not get patched with the banner removal, and thus you will continue to see it + ads. The current version of BTS already works on new Spotify. For example you can see that this person had it enabled and saw ads too. |
Can you telll which is the line in this file to remove the upgrade button? |
@RichardLeblanc |
Ok my bad, seems there was some inconsistency on my side in terms of Spotify rollout, now the banner actually shows but ads are blocked, the current workaround editing xpui to hide it and patching Spotify directly ("00 83 C4 08 84 C0 0F 84 E5" to "00 83 C4 08 84 E4 0F 84 E5") or via hook to block ads work. |
The leaderboard can also be removed with this as alternative in xpui.js |
Please respect the issue title before posting a comment. Create issue if yours is new or post them on their respective open issues. Upgrade button issues/patches goes to #83. The black ad placeholder for Alpha UI is a known bug and will be fixed in time. |
I had hard time finding this, wow. thank for this. I will test it and will patch it into source if this work !!! good job! |
@Sruko ("00 83 C4 08 84 C0 0F 84 E5" to "00 83 C4 08 84 E4 0F 84 E5") |
This is just your existing patch for Alpha with a small change, it only blocks ads but will not remove the new empty banner at the bottom because it's now handled different. To patch out the new banner from Spotifty.exe in Alpha is going to be a lot more involved tracing down. |
that right more tracing down. |
Hi. I have some a problem. I use BlockTheSpot with Spicetify-CLI it's a custom theme version of Spotify, but the ads is popped up. Because version 2.1.0 in Spicetify-CLI has changed XPUI script on Spotify Apps folder from |
The new class is .snMc3rl8H2pM9cqkTpQ6. Just follow the same instructions but instead of .b2731cdeb97c1f6a4cf5caa44e943acb use the new class |
Thanks @noxan-dev |
The easiest way for me is editing xpui.js while keeping in mind that and for deleting the upgrade button: |
Patch to remove ad placeholder. Temporary solution for #150
The latest commit on the BlockTheSpot.bat will remove this placeholder. |
Was there a way I could auto-confirm the (Y/N) prompt, so that it removes the ad placeholder without having to confirm each start-up? I've attempted to do so through the .bat myself, without success. 😅 |
if you download the latest .bat this prompt was added. |
Yes, but I would like it to auto-start Spotify without having to type Y/N? Was this possible? |
@Deagan You only have to use the bat file once. Then you can normally start Spotify. |
Im not using the script because im installing with scoop |
Anyone else experiencing this? |
I understand, its just it happens like that for me even after reboot and changing back to default value returns the state (not laggy) |
This file is completely empty for me it's literally 22bytes |
@ZeldrexK0DE try to reinstall |
The latest .bat should close this issue, no? Though I'd also add a warning telling people to download it in case they want to remove the empty banner. (I always wanted to, but I had no idea the script also did that) |
I'm editing the xpui file on Mac so it should be the same thing but I don't know what class the upgrade button is called. Do you know what it's called? I can locate the |
Just use windows "host" entries to block ads and this bug should not appear (i think) |
latest version of Spotify is now showing adds, no update to this project from quite some time, this the project still alive? |
It works perfectly for me 😮 |
Closing this as its almost 9 months old and a workaround is available with auto installer. |
hi, the file was work excellent, but now I have the following error message: Invoke-WebRequest : 404: Not Found
Thanks for your help |
There is any solution for remove "Upgrade" bottom? |
@JuanBetto I tested on my Window 11 with Spotify ver 1.1.91.824.g07f1e963 and everything works perfectly (Upgrade button and Ads have been removed) |
Yeah, but my friend activity is hidden :/, that's normal? |
@JuanBetto To show "Friend activity" you need to enable that option. In case you don't know where is that option:
|
I still see an empty ad block, am I the only one?
