AdRework 0.2.0
AdRework 0.2.0
Expected Stability: ~60%
AdRework requires to be in the same directory as all 4 .dll files!
there is no user interface and it will automatically start up with windows, so you can install it and forget it! or, at least come back to check for a new release when it stops working.
Changelog:
Bug Fixes:
- fixed failure to load configuration (default config file wrote 'SkipsAds' as a setting instead of 'SkipAds')
- improved handling of configuration load failure
- fixed extremely rare circumstance where the program will be muted for no reason
New Features:
- more configuration settings! (ImmediateSkip, BypassAds, FallbackVolume and RegistryStartup)
Minor Tweaks:
- IsAd() has been switched out for GetAdStatus(), returning either None, Unknown or Ad instead of a boolean true / false value
- ad check now runs alongside an integrity check, ensuring the program is not muted during a song
Ad Bypass
im not sure if this is recent, but spotify now sends out ads sometimes that aren't marked as ads by the spotify process. without getting information from within the process, skipping these ads accurately is probably impossible. this feature will seamlessly mute these sneaky ads!
if you attempt to skip these ads you will likely break the pause function as the same process name is returned if a process is paused or if one of these ads are playing
Known Issues:
- probably none, early stages of ad bypass testing
- the media prompt appearing whenever an ad is skipped, BUT this is not a high priority issue as it basically the only way to skip a song in spotify. (trust me, i tried)
