  • Reinstall Spotify

Known Issues:

  • You may face issue #150.

Additional Notes:

  • BlockTheSpot might only works as expected with the last tested version. Please check it before opening an issue.
  • "chrome_elf.dll" gets replaced by the Spotify installer each time it updates, hence why you'll probably need to apply the patch again when it happens
  • Spicetify users will need to reapply BlockTheSpot after applying a Spicetify patches.
  • 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
  • If the automatic install/uninstall scripts do not work, please contact Nuzair46
