Known Issues:

  • We support last 2 version of Spotify (latest + previous) only. Please check it before opening an issue.

Additional Notes:

  • Remove "Upgrade" Button #83 and Remove "Ad Placeholder" #150 only works when you use any of the auto installation methods and press y when prompted.
  • "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.
  • If the automatic install/uninstall scripts do not work, please contact Nuzair46
