Spotify get into my main screen when it restart

shawnloh opened this issue · comments

Whenever Spotify restart to skip the advertisement, the Spotify will come and disrupt my main screen, any way to keep it in the background? Great tool btw :)

I tried to resolve this with 034c22f by adding the --hide flag to the open command, but that did indeed not fix it. There also seems to be the --background flag, so I'm going to try that one.

@simonmeusel Is this fixed or still open ?
As I did got it reproduced in Mac OS Mojave ( When it restarted to skip ads ).
I'm on v1.11.0

It should be fixed and it works for me. I don't think what could be done to further force Spotify to the background.

Maybe this command helps to invoke "Spotify" app in background.

"open -g /Applications/spotify.app"

We currently use /usr/bin/open --hide --background -b com.spotify.client.

-g is the same as --background:

Help: Open opens files from a shell.

-j, --hide Launches the app hidden.
-g, --background Does not bring the application to the foreground.
