BTS No Longer Works With Latest Spotify Update

[jakey1995abc]

Describe the bug
Since the last few Spotify updates over the past 3/4 days, BlockTheSpot has completely stopped working. No ads are being blocked at all.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit (Latest Insider Fast Ring Build: 18875.1000)
• Spotify Version: 1.1.5.152.gf0f488f1 (.exe)

Additional context
I ran "listdlls Spotify.exe" via admin cmd from my listdlls folder, whilst Spotify was running and it gave the following log:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SysinternalsSuite>listdlls Spotify.exe

Listdlls v3.2 - Listdlls

Thanks for your report - looks like Spotify is ignoring netutils. Can't investigate until I get onto the latest Spotify.

EDIT - Never mind, I got the latest setup URL:
http://upgrade.spotify.com/upgrade/client/win32-x86/spotify_installer-1.1.5.152.gf0f488f1-9.exe

I'll have a look and see what I can do.

[KaleidonKep99]

Seems like Spotify now loads netutils manually from the system directory, ignoring the one in AppData...
1.1.4.197.g92d52c4f is affected too.

[master131]

Can you please try running the downgrade script on from the main page?
https://github.com/master131/BlockTheSpot

As @KaleidonKep99 they're loading directly from System32 now. While I could find another way to force Spotify to load BlockTheSpot, it could get into murky waters if I start patching binaries.

[rafaelsgirao]

My Spotify app started displaying ads again out of the blue an hour ago, so I decided to repatch, only to see that I weirdly had the Windows Store version. Uninstalled it, installed the old version, ran the script, and detected the Windows Store version again. After a few repetitions of that, I ran Revo against Spotify, and saw this exe called SpotifyMigrator.exe, which automatically converts all spotify installations to the WIndows Store version. Could it also be the same problem here? (After that I fixed it; uninstalled everything, blocked myself from SpotifyMigrator through the Security tab, installed the old version, ran the script, and everything's fine again.)

[master131]

@imnotender The SpotifyMigrator is a separate issue that has been encountered a number of times. I've adjusted the downgrade script to prevent that scenario from happening. I haven't actually tested if it 100% works because I can't get it to happen on my machine but I'm happy to get feedback.

[KaleidonKep99]

@master131 Running Spotify in Windows 7 compatibility mode fixes the issue! You also need to delete SpotifyMigrator from Spotify's directory.
Tested on 1.1.4.197.g92d52c4f.

Edit: It doesn't seem to work on 1.1.5.152.gf0f488f1...

Would it be possible to bypass this issue by using some sort of symbolic link or junction?

[master131]

Would it be possible to bypass this issue by using some sort of symbolic link or junction?

Using a symlink to replace system files is very dangerous. I could make a separate launcher which would inject BlockTheSpot into Spotify but you would need to use the launcher to start Spotify each time.

But would it be worth it if it gets patched again? It's clear that Spotify know about BlockTheSpot now, I don't know if I want to invest the time to keep it working for newer versions.

If someone wants to fork the project and tinker then be my guest (maybe implement the above idea if you want).

[OzakIOne]

Maybe injecting dll would fix the problem of spotify ignoring the .dll, if you don't find any solution
Though there is still the host file

Thanks! this seemed to work. I used the latest version of Extreme Injector to auto inject the .dll as soon as Spotify opens. No ads so far...

i'm using the netutils.dll with the windows store edition without any problems. i followed a guide by the user 7evenlxrd, you just need to copy it in the Program Files / WindowsApps / spotify folder from a live ubuntu boot.

Would be easier to inject dll imo instead of doing a live usb etc

[lfmnovaes]

Can confirm about BTS not working on Spotify 1.1.5.153.gf614956d, however as mentioned here injecting the .dll with process explorer seemed to work for me(need to do 2 times, idk why). It's a good workaround for the moment.

[Xtortion]

I can confirm it ain't working either on the latest version
