Known Issues:

  • BlockTheSpot will have issues blocking ads on the alpha version of Spotify. To identify this, look into the Spotify version and see if there is -a in the end. If so, you have an alpha version of Spotify. To be able to use BlockTheSpot, click here to download the latest Spotify stable/public version.
  • Optional feature "Remove Upgrade Button" will not work with Spicetify, also might have issues with alpha Spotify.
  • It will also have issues with the latest Spotify version where the user avatar will be blank.

Note:

  • "chrome_elf.dll" gets replaced by the Spotify installer each time it updates, make sure to replace it after an update.
  • Spicetify users have to reapply BlockTheSpot after applying a Spicetify theme.
  • The ad banner may appear if your network uses Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol
    • Setting Skip_wpad = 1 in config.ini may help
  • For Spotify Premium users, setting Block_BannerOnly = 1 will only block the banner at home
