# spotify-adblock-linux
Spotify adblocker for Linux that works by wrapping `getaddrinfo` and `cef_urlrequest_create`, blocking non-whitelisted domains and blacklisted URLs.
### Notes
* This does not work with the snap Spotify package.
## Build
Prerequisites:
* Git
* Wget
* tar
* Make
* GCC
* libc headers (e.g. `libc-dev` on Debian-based distributions)
---
$ git clone https://github.com/abba23/spotify-adblock-linux.git
$ cd spotify-adblock-linux
$ wget -O cef.tar.bz2 https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/cef_binary_88.1.6%2Bg4fe33a1%2Bchromium-88.0.4324.96_linux64_minimal.tar.bz2
$ tar -xf cef.tar.bz2 --wildcards '*/include' --strip-components=1
$ make
## Install
### Debian Package
$ sudo make install
### Flatpak
$ mkdir -p ~/.spotify-adblock && cp spotify-adblock.so ~/.spotify-adblock
$ flatpak override --user --filesystem="~/.spotify-adblock/spotify-adblock.so" com.spotify.Client
## Usage
### Command-line
#### Debian Package
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify
#### Flatpak
$ flatpak run --command=sh com.spotify.Client -c 'eval "$(sed s#LD_PRELOAD=#LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/.spotify-adblock/spotify-adblock.so:#g /app/bin/spotify)"'
