Spotifree Pauses and Unpauses Songs constantly #111

#105 (comment) he did comment that, maybe you can check this repo alternatively; https://github.com/simonmeusel/MuteSpotifyAds |

I have exactly the same issue, it all started when spotify kept indicating there was no internet connection when there was, saying 'error 4'. Now, I get the constantly skipping/pausing every single second. |
|
see @OLHMWI below. This is no solution as ads will play |

Thanks, it kind of works, but it means you cant do any other work or use
any other computer function on an Apple Mac, but its useful if you just
want to play music and leave it in that "mode", so its at least a partial
work around!

I don't know if this will help diagnose the issue, but if you open the
spotifree menu on the menu bar (ie click it), as long as the menu bar is
visible the issue disappears.

I've also noticed that if you select "Check for updates..." the dialog box appears that says you're up to date. As long as that dialog is visible, the pause/unpause behavior doesn't occur. Just drag that window down out of the way, and you can continue working on other things. |

Fantastic advice!! It works! Thanks so much, I really couldn't face having
yet another gaslighting govt advert about corona virus on spotify!!! you're
a star!!!!!

Oh No... after about 30 mins of playing, I realised that even with the
update dialog box left visible.... adverts are now still coming through,
but at least it's not skipping every second. I simply shut down spotify and
relaunch... hopefully a better solution will be forthcoming in the future.!

deleting and re-downloading the previous version of Spotify https://mac.filehorse.com/download-spotify/14594/ works |
|
Something wrong happens with new Spotify version. Maybe this if condition fails(?): I suppose spotify do not change to zero the track number anymore. |
|
@Ostico I think you are on the right track. I debugged this locally and it appears that the track number is always 0 except for right after a PlaybackStateChanged event fires, and then it goes back to 0. The loop that checks the track number notices that it is 0, calls the mute method, which triggers a PlaybackStateChanged event, which sets the track number temporarily to the correct value, which triggers an unpause, and on and on it goes forever. I tried running with the track number check removed and it seemed to go back to the expected behavior. I assume that this check was added for a good reason, though, so I doubt that's the right solution. |

For those who are still having a problem, I managed to get it working by installing an older version of Spotify. Steps to solve it:
|
|
I've never seen that download website before, so I used Mac command line tools to verify its signature. Checks out. You have to make it read only before you lock it. Also, thank you! |
|
Hi all, I'm new here. So any solution about have spotifree back working that is not downloading a old version of spotify? |
|
Thanks for this fantastic advice, It worked really well and I don't have to
listen to their stupid adverts all the time now!
FYI Spotify keeps asking to update and wants my password, which I just
ignore/cancel and it continues to work perfectly. Thanks again.

Steps to solve it:
1. Download an older version of Spotify (1.1.29) from here
<https://spotify.en.uptodown.com/mac/versions> and overwrite the
Spotify app in *Applications*. (keep the file in case anything goes
wrong)
2. Go to Spotify > About make sure you see version 1.1.29…
3. Spotify downloads the latest version in the background and upon
restart, it installs the latest version, so you will be back to where you
started. To fix that:
- Go to Applications > Spotify > right-click > Get Info
- Check option Locked
- In *Sharing & Permissions* (bottom section) > make all
privileges: Read Only
4. Enjoy your legacy ad-free experince :)

Am I crazy or is Spotifree working as expected again? |
|
I've tried and it's not working (last Catalina and updated Spotify versions)
I am using MuteSpotifyAds v 1.11.2 and it is working so far.

If you note the main page this is now discontinued. I think the original developer has not the time/ or able to fix the issue. |
I just updated to the new Spotify 1.1.31.703.g256add22 client and when Spotifree is running my songs just pause/unpause all the time. When I click the spotifree symbol in the menu bar the songs play normally and go back to pausing/unpausing when I click anywhere else again.
Is it possible that Spotify patched this in to counteract spotifree?
