Are you using uMatrix, uBlock Origin or something similar?

Are you using uMatrix, uBlock Origin or something similar?

I am, is there something I need to do to make sure they work with each other?

livejamie avatar Feb 10 '20 19:02 livejamie

Yes. Which one are you using?

krmax44 avatar Feb 10 '20 20:02 krmax44

I can't reproduce the problem, unfortunately. With Playify and uBlock Origin installed, it works fine for me with latest Chrome on Linux.

I am using brave, but even with chrome and uBlock uninstalled I'm having issues getting it to trigger. How can I debug if the extension is running at all? Pasting the link to a song in the browser will work, right?

Just did some more experimenting, even with chrome, and all extensions removed I still got that it was blocked. Also, not sure if this is a related issue, I would only ever be brought to the page if I was first already navigated to the open.spotify link, and then press Ctrl+Shift+R to hard refresh. That was the only way I could get any function(ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT) out of it.

@kiikoh I ran into this issue earlier as well, using Brave's beta release.

My first-run solution: In addition to whitelisting the Spotify domains in uBlock Origin, make sure that Brave Shields are completely "down" for the following Spotify domains:

spotify.com 
www.spotify.com 
open.spotify.com

You may also need to clear Brave's storage for these domains as well (see: brave://settings/siteData)

After disabling shields and clearing the browser storage, I was able to get Playify to connect with GPMDP by entering the code as prompted, and the Playify tab opened as expected when visiting open.spotify.com links. Following this initial setup, I was able to enable uBlock Origin for Spotify again without breaking the extension, as long as Brave's Shields were "down".

(Sadly. I still have issues getting the "transfer" function to work, but that's outside the scope of this issue. At least Playify is triggered.)
