- SpotX-Mac now requires codesign to sign the binaries after patching.
- For this, you will need to have Xcode installed on your mac.
- To install xcode, use the following command in terminal:
xcode-select --install
- If you have already installed xcode, you can skip this step.
- If you have Intel mac, you can try skipping codesign by using the
-S
flag.
-f
Force patch -- forces re-patching if backup detected
-h
Hide podcasts, episodes and audiobooks on home screen
-P
Path to Spotify.app -- set custom Spotify app path
-u
Block updated -- blocks automatic updates
-S
Skip Codesign -- only to be used if you have intel mac
Use any combination of flags.
The following example clears app cache, adds experimental features, leaves new UI enabled and blocks updates:
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Mac/main/install.sh) -hu
- Close Spotify completely.
- Run The following command in Terminal:
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Mac/main/uninstall.sh)
or
- Reinstall Spotify
- Audio/video ads during Podcast playback are currently NOT blocked with SpotX.
- Spicetify users: When using SpotX-Mac + Spicetify, the current script requires running SpotX first.
- Ad blocking is the main concern of this repo. Any other feature provided by SpotX-Mac or consequence of using those features will be the sole responsibility of the user, not BlockTheSpot/SpotX/SpotX-Mac.
