***
A multi-featured adblocker for the Spotify Linux application.
Last updated: 03 July 2023
Last tested version: 1.2.3.1115
## We need collaborators.
- We are running short of people who can collaborate and maintain this project. If you are good with bash scripting, please create an issue here or contact Red.#1111 in discord.
### Features:
- Blocks all banner/video/audio ads within the app
- Blocks logging (Sentry, etc)
- Unlocks the skip function for any track
- Blocks Spotify automatic updates (optional)
- Enables [experimental features](https://github.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Win/discussions/50) (optional)
- Hides podcasts, episodes and audiobooks on Home Screen (optional)
### Installation/Update:
NOTE: SpotX does not support the Spotify client from Snap
- Close Spotify completely.
- Run The following command in Terminal:
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Linux/main/install.sh)
```
#### Flatpak Version
To install on the Flatpak version of Spotify:
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Linux/main/install.sh) -P /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.spotify.Client/x86_64/stable/active/files/extra/share/spotify/
```
#### Optional Install Arguments:
`-c` Clear app cache -- use if UI-related patches aren't working
`-e` Experimental features -- enables experimental features
`-E` Exclude feature -- disables specified feature(s) [currently disabled]
`-f` Force patch -- forces re-patching if backup detected
`-h` Hide podcasts, episodes and audiobooks on home screen
`-o` Old UI -- skips forced 'new UI' patch
`-P` Path directory -- manually set Spotify directory if not found in PATH
`-p` Premium subscription setup -- use if premium subscriber
Use any combination of flags.
The following example clears app cache, adds experimental features and uses the new UI (if supported):
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Linux/main/install.sh) -ce
```
### Uninstall:
- Close Spotify completely.
- Run The following command in Terminal:
```
bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Linux/main/uninstall.sh)
```
or
- Reinstall Spotify
### Notes:
- Audio/video ads during Podcast playback are currently NOT blocked with SpotX.
- Spicetify users: When using SpotX-Linux + Spicetify, the current script requires running SpotX first.
### DISCLAIMER
- Ad blocking is the main concern of this repo. Any other feature provided by SpotX-Linux or consequence of using those features will be the sole responsibility of the user, not BlockTheSpot/SpotX/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Linux.
