Info by MrDude

These are patched slightly different from previous versions - trying to block ads which occur when people use spotify connect with chromecast, as I don't have one of these devices i can't check that the added mods will work - they just add 2 extra function patches and try and stop the apk from reaching:

pubads.g.doubleckick.net

Enjoy, MrDude

Is this really modded by mrdude?! :)
Or just a copy paste from a old release?

Yes it's modded by me - I modded it yesterday. (although I didn't change the spotify mp4 file or add a toast), so this is a very clean modded version with the following:

1 Binary patched in 4 places: Audio ad placeholder/video ad place holder/seeking/skips etc/pubads website blocking.
3 Smali files: Spotify Connect/ffd button - aka tablet mode to allow spotify connect/ad prefs - bitrate prefs.

I didn't protect this so you can easily decompile with apk tool and compare with an untouched version to check out what was modded.

Regards.

Some versions of Chromecast differ - I can't remember but I think it's v1 Chromecast that you don't get ads on, and v3 you do (or the other way around). I'm pretty sure that's down to the firmware on the chromecast itself though and can't be modded from inside the apk. I don't have a chromecast - and have tested spotify connect on the following:

Nvidia Sheild TV.
Nvidia Shield Tablet.
Nexus 7 tablet.
Nexus 5 phone.
Minix Neo X-8 plus (android box)
Raspberry Pi 3 (android)
PC Running bluestacks.

I don't get ads on any of these using Spotify or Spotify connect - so have nothing to test with, I suppose I could download and unpack/decompile chromecast firmware - but to be honest If it's in that, there's nothing you can do apart from modify the firmware and reflash the chromecast - apart from that you can block some addresses on your router/modem to stop your chromecast from getting these ads.

Following on from mrdudes comments above; Ads are present on my chromecast 1. I also cannot identify any activity via wireshark which look like the chromecast accessing the Internet for ads. My guess is that the ads are built in to the spotify apk on the chromecast 1. Note that the only ads I would get are the upgrade to premium ads.

In preference to the chromecast I use mrdude's android tv version of spotify on a raspberry pi running Android tv. This works perfectly for me.

Hope that helps someone.

For those with Chromecast that get ads, I decompiled the chromecast firmware and inside the following you have this file:

system/chrome/plugins/libspotify.so

That file contains the code that makes you get ads - anyway I have patched this to block the ads on the chromecast, if you have root access or flash alternate fimware (you can get that from xda forums), you can swap this file over with this one and you shouldn't get anymore ads.

You can download the file from here:

https://mega.nz/#!50AHCIgQ!flV7C6WmrlIQljlgnGgIx_8YBnWo2hvLVG3aO3KUebY

So first make a backup of - system/chrome/plugins/libspotify.so and replace it with the one you downloaded, reboot your chromecast and you should be good.

#####this file is for chromecast only#####you will need a rooted firmware - or root access on your chromecast####
