    # Spotify Adblock Fedora 34

    ## Install Spotify

    First install the spotify package from [negativo17](https://negativo17.org/spotify-client/)'s repository.

    Enable negativo17 repo:

    ```bash
    dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-spotify.repo
    ```

    Then install:

    ```bash
    dnf install spotify-client
    ```

    ## Build Adblock

    Install the dependencies:

    ```bash
    dnf install rust cargo
    ```

    Clone and build:

    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/abba23/spotify-adblock.git
    cd spotify-adblock
    make
    ```

    Install to system path:

    ```bash
    sudo make install
    ```

    ## Usage - Important Last Step

    Normally on other GNU/Linux distribution users add the `LD_PRELOAD` value to the desktop file, but this method didn't work on Fedora 34 (I really don't know why). So we will add `LD_PRELOAD` to spotify's executable: `/usr/bin/spotify`.

    Add `LD_PRELOAD` value to `/usr/bin/spotify`:

    ```bash
    export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so
    ```

    Look like this:

    ```bash
    #!/usr/bin/sh
    # Wrapper script for Spotify.

    # The spotify binary has a RUNPATH of its origin folder. It requires a few
    # librares compiled with minimum options (no external dependencies).
    # The FFMpeg library is loaded ONLY on the system path libraries, ignoring the
    # RUNPATH.

    # So remove the RUNPATH from the binary, put all the libraries in its private
    # folder and make sure that only the spotify binary can access them.

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64/spotify-client${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
    export SCALE_FACTOR="$(/usr/lib64/spotify-client/get-scale-factor.py)"
    #HERE
    export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so

    exec /usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify --force-device-scale-factor=$SCALE_FACTOR "$@" &
    exec /usr/lib64/spotify-client/set-dark-theme-variant.py &
    ```

    That's all! Run it.
