Hey there,
Thank you for your great script 💯

After running it on macOS, I receive a firewall warning stating that the Spotify app needs to accept incoming network connections. Could you please explain why this warning appears after executing the script and what should I do about it?

Thanks in advance!

Not Blocking Commercials on Spotify for macOS (Apple Silicon) 1.2.38.720.ga4a70a0e

I love this hack. I just updated to Spotify for macOS (Apple Silicon) 1.2.38.720.ga4a70a0e this morning & reinstalled the hack. The ads are not shown in Spotify, but I still get the audio commercials in a certain time frame. Hopefully you will find the fix soon. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Unable to use `--oldui` option flag

I dislike the fact that this moves the lyrics button over to the right sidebar and i've used other forks of SpotX before but they only got rid of the popups, not the actual between-song ads and i know that the old ui option fixes the lyrics button however when i use it in the terminal command it says "Warning: Old UI not supported in clients after v1.2.13.661...". how can a get around that?
also, i saw that there was older updates of this repo that say they work with my version of spotify (1.2.26.1187) such as this and i was wondering if using that would do it. i don't know how to get that one though so i can't test it. i can program but i don't know much about shell scripting at all.

I had to run the startup command three times when normally it would only take running the command once to get it to work. I've had issues with getting it to work on this imac more than any other imac I've used. It also seems like the program randomly stops working after not opening spotify for a few days and I have to re-run the commands again.

There is no input parameter listed in SpotXBash equivalent to the new -EnhancedSongs parameter in SpotX-Official

SpotX-Official recently removed (as default) the experimental feature that adds the Enhance button. Now you need to pass the -EnhancedSongs parameter, but in SpotX-Bash there is no equivalent.

[Suggestion] Style the lyrics view.

Please add the possibility to patch lyrics colors too, similar to windows's version where it's dark background and green text. Reading the lyrics with red backgrounds really destroys my eyes. I wonder why Spotify doesn't patch it itself.

Thank you :D

Feature request: don't require write permissions (nixos)

I guess instead of performing write operations on files, we could simply copy them and perform write operations on copies instead. This would enable the program to not require root access.

I believe the feature won't introduce any disk space overhead. (had a quick look at the code and there is already copy mechanism for backup and later uninstallation)

Also uninstallation process will potentially get simpler as it won't require any operations on the files we wrote something to.

After applying, audio ads still play. Here an ad plays at the beginning.
I do have the Spicetify package installed, but I used spicetify restore before applying SpotX. I also performed the reinstallation steps from the troubleshooting page without doing anything Spicetify-related in the meantime.
(I removed a ton of locale warnings (and the ASCII art) from the output, which appear all the time on my system, but never have any effects. I tried to fix them, but did not succeed. It should be unrelated to this problem.)
