Spotify Webplayer Breaking When Ad Starts

Post by BasementVirg »

Hey all, new user here.

For quite some time now, I've been using Spotify Webplayer with the AdBlock filter lists and everything would work out fine. However, about a few weeks ago, the webplayer stops playing music and breaks on this one specific ad. The ad in question looks like this:

Only way to 'fix' it is to reload the page. Has anyone encountered this problem before, and if possible, know of a proper fix for it? Thanks :D

Thanks for the reply mapx, but I assume no solution was found for AdBlock? I mean, I'm not quite sure what to do with the information you provided (though it was insightful). Sorry about that, I'm just not very tech-savvy when it comes to stuff like this...

Still doesn't work, though the image of the actual ad has disappeared. I haven't changed anything to the actual ublock filters/code though...it's mostly because, I don't know how to add the "||audio-fa.scdn.co/audio/*$media,redirect=noopmp3-0.1s,domain=open.spotify.com" line in ublock...
Do you know of any work around for ABP itself, or should I hold out some hope that an AdBlock update fixes things? :P

Alright, guess I'll just use YouTube or cave in and buy Spotify Premium lol. In any case, thanks for the quick replies mapx :D Appreciate it!
