Automatically close, reopen, and resume play when ad starts
As per my thought #109
This adds a new CUSTOM_MODE option restart as well as a config file option RESTART_MINIMIZED
The minimize function is crap... well, there needs to be a better way of targeting the window. Especially when the first thing to play is an ad, other "active" windows will get minimized.
I discovered an unresolved issue. If I am not logged into spotify, it will close and re-open. I never get logged in, so will be caught in the loop. Need to run killall spotify-wrapper.sh in terminal to break the loop, open spotify normally, login, then run spotify killer.
This is not merged with master yet, right? I tried the "restart" mode but got a warning that it's not supported. It would be pretty neat even without the minimize function tbh.
@Kabur it is not merged, but if you use my fork it works. I have been using it for many months now.
It's slightly annoying if you are typing because spotify get focused, but it's worth not listening to ad's.
To be honest, I click on more ads this way, so spotify is still making money.

Cool! Thx
@webmasterMeyers Would it be possible to have it always ignore local files? All local files are recognized as ads for me, resulting in a restart loop hah. If it was in python I'd fix it myself, but alas.
@Kabur That is beyond me. I did not write the "detection" code. I just added the new option to close and open.
