Still seeing ads

[carlos12silva94]

Also, do you know something similar to mac?

[abba23]

Please provide a bit more information. What commands did you run exactly? What was their output? By 'store', do you mean the Ubuntu Software Center?

[carlos12silva94]

Yeah i mean software center.
just running this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify &

is there any way to see more logs?

[abba23]

just running this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify &

What was its output? Which commands did you run to compile and install the adblocker and what was their output?

[carlos12silva94]

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify &
[1] 30643
$ Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"

The install process went well, i just run the commands you have on the read me

[carlos12silva94]

spotify-adblock-linux$ make
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

[abba23]

Please run make clean before running make again. Otherwise it won't be built again and you won't see any errors.

Did you install libcurl4-gnutls-dev before running make as instructed?

[carlos12silva94]

yeah, i've installed that.
after a clean:

$make
gcc -Wall -shared -fPIC -o spotify-adblock.so  -ldl spotify-adblock.c whitelist.h blacklist.h

[abba23]

That seems to be fine then. Are you sure that the Ubuntu Software Center didn't just install the snap package again? Can you try installing Spotify using the instructions at the bottom of this page?

[carlos12silva94]

I did that. but now, i cant see ads, neither album images, neither friends radar. Also cant play any song:

[carlos12silva94]

Ok. I think i've found the main issue.
After delete my previous version(s) i had to remove the spotify cache:
rm -R ~/.config/spotify

Now im not seeing ads. I'll use it a bit to make sure the audio ads are also not presented and then i close this issue

@carlos12silva94. not the same concept but I just saw https://github.com/simonmeusel/MuteSpotifyAds.
