Spotify mutes after some minutes.

Weird.. I don't know why it would do that.. Can you give me a terminal output of every domain that's pinged? A pastebin link should suffice
I can't reproduce the issue on my side, but try whitelisting login5.spotify.com
in whitelist.js
and can you tell if anything changes? The reason login5
is blocked right now is because it triggers ads from spclient.wg.spotify.com
.
Hello.
Yep. login5.spotify.com
is the culprit. If I whitelist it ads are played. If I block it, at some point, I am unable to keep listening. Even If I close and restart Spotify, I still can't play anything.
Here is the terminal output. That space over there is when it stopped playing, that is, when it skipped to the next track, it then stopped playing.
I'm using Spotify version 1.1.36.734.g8731c306
Thanks.

Hm, I don't know why this is happening. I wonder if Spotify is somehow detecting that we're blocking its ads. It might be your Spotify version - when I get back to my computer I'll check my version and upgrade/downgrade to see if I can replicate the issue
The issue with just domain filtering is that spclient.wg.spotify.com
serves music, ads, and Spotify friends functionality. We can't just block it so instead I tried to block everything that triggers it from sending ads. But doing that breaks more functionality, and so on.
A workaround that I did was use SSL decryption on spclient.wg.spotify.com
where I could actually read the full url of the requests sent there. All the ads from spclient are served from /ads so it was easy to just filter that path. Anyways, the code for the SSL decryption is on the mitm-proxy branch. If you could test that out, that'd be great. If you're up for testing it, you'll need to trust the root CA it creates, an easy command for that is in the readme on that branch.
Sorry you're having trouble, it's just the way Spotify ads work :( I'll keep looking into it though
I think that that branch solves the issue. Have you tried?
So wasn't able to upgrade my Spotify to 1.1.36 exactly, I upgraded to 1.1.37 from 1.1.28. For me, Spotify doesn't stop playing completely, it just can't play certain songs. Selecting a new song works and Spotify will play again. This was already happening on 1.1.28, so I can't seem to replicate your issue.
The reason I'm keeping the mitm-proxy
branch separate from master is because the MITM proxy requires users to add the root CA to their machine and not all users might feel comfortable with that. So users can use the mitm proxy branch over master if desire.
And yes, I personally use the mitm-proxy
branch everyday and it works perfectly.
Hello.
Updated the mitm-proxy
branch to the latest commit and I'm getting this error:
node mitm2.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1083
throw err;

In commit ce0a6eba8f5c671c50ba21472c37c7cfbc73ea94
that message does not appear.
If you look at the commit changes, you'll see that mitm2.js
was renamed to mitm.js
, so run node mitm.js
.
Sorry. Missed that. Thanks
