Some ads keep playing in between tracks

[webodan]

I'm using Arch, and I started using the spotify-adblock- git AUR package, which is kinda outdated, so I tried this compiling and trying out this git tree in an attempt to stop the annoying audio ads... but I just couldn't. The other ads don't appear (except for the empty UI space element with no ads in it mentioned in issue #12), just the audio ads, some even with video on them.

Hopefully we can find a fix.

It's not outdated. -git-packages will always build the latest commit.

The config file isn't right. Do you perhaps have some unrelated config.toml in your working directory when running Spotify with spotify-adblock?

Thanks, I'm an idiot! turns out there was some random config.toml in my home, I've been playing tracks for 30 minutes after deleting it and finally no more ads...

But in my defense i'll say... shouldn't the program always use its config file that's stored in /etc/spotify-adblock? and not whatever random config file it finds in the working directory that could be for something else.

Overriding system-wide configuration like this is generally useful for development and custom user-specific configuration. While this behavior is described in the readme and problems should be pretty obvious from the terminal output, the name config.toml is admittedly rather generic, potentially leading to mix-ups like this. Changing the name or config loading behavior might be a consideration for the future if this turns out to be a problem for others as well.
