Hi there!

Can you give me a little more information about what the console says? A screenshot of the blocked domains would help.

Do other things in spotify load like playlists or your home view? Do any songs play? Or do none of them play?

Faced the same issue.
@octieuway Could you test workability by adding login5.spotify.com to whitelist.js?

@vladdenisov I tried this but it looks like npm start fails to load, highlighting the line in whitelist.js that I added to test with. Please see attached. NPM logs were sanitized to remove my real name, but the full log is included as well.

@Defirence you need to put comma after previous string. Like this:

"video-fa.scdn.co",
"login5.spotify.com"

@vladdenisov Ah my bad, I added the comma where it was missing along with login5 and Spotify works again. Music that is locally cached and also new non-cached songs are playing. Thanks! Now just crossing my fingers that it'll stay this way and not break again.

Some reported ads coming up with this address whitelisted. So, please, report if anything goes wrong.

I'm going to close this issue since it seems like that adding login5.spotify.com fixes this issue for some people. However, I'm not going to add it onto the code in this repo since it allows some ads through as discovered on #7.

I think the mitm-proxy branch has a fix for this, @vladdenisov can you take a look at it? I've been using it for a day, with all spotify functionality working and no ads.

Just dropping a comment for record-keeping and future releases.

Whitelisting login5.spotify.com allows ads to pass through here and there but I've noticed a drastic decrease when using this compared to standard HOSTS file blocking. But as per the last comment and #7 it does allow ads through unfortunately.
