Describe the issue

Do it twice and test again.

@okiehsch It's been working fine since changing to 1s noop sound but now it's broken again:

This is a bit hard to reproduce, spotify doesn't always play the same amount of ads and tends to play different amount of ads based on the time of day, also don't forget to hard refresh before trying to reproduce this.

Steps to redo:

• Open your liked songs playlist or any other long one.
• keep skipping songs. Every 15th song, there will be an ad.
• First two ads will be skipped fine by uBO and next track will automatically start playing.
• on the third case however (i.e ~45th song ) a mute audio will play for the length of the ad.
  • The skip buttons won't work
  • after 30s, nothing will change, ad banner will be there, no audio will be playing, audio slider will be at 30s, next track will not be played
  • Double clicking on the song in the playlist will restart the ad audio again, muted still.
  • Only way to break out is to refresh the page, but now the song position is lost and you have to scroll down to find which one you were playing.

I have this version of filter list

on the third case however

I can reproduce, can you test
||spotify.com/storage-resolve/files/audio/interactive/$badfilter,xhr,domain=open.spotify.com
by adding it to your filter list and reload a playlist, it appears to be working on my end.

Yes it's fixed!

[okiehsch]

Ok, I pushed the fix, if you update uBlock filters list in a few minutes you can remove the mentioned filter from your list.

I did this and it's fixed. I apologize for any waste of time I might have caused. Thank you - Next time I will do this double purge before posting.
