Extension no longer working, option completely missing from UI

[AlexADittrich]

Recently updated Chrome, extension no longer working. The playback speed adjustment is now missing

Chrome: Version 89.0.4389.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Have tried disabling and re-enabling in addition to uninstalling and re-installing the extension.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Update: as noted below, this issue is unrelated to the chrome update. This issue is related to a Spotify update.

Solution below

Yes, although firefox stopped working the same way, I don't know if it's because of chrome or spotify, but hopefully the developer can update this valuable tool.

[the-eduardo]

Same here :S

[TrickyPatrick]

btw I don't think it's chrome issue but spotify issue. My chrome is still in 86 version but the same issue appears

I suspect that the following element is missing now in Spotify's DOM: https://github.com/intOrfloat/spotitySpeedExtension/blob/cf65506c8382a3f7006f1ea401890eb20956ee80/content-script.js#L76

[faf0]

Yes, the fix is to replace line https://github.com/intOrfloat/spotitySpeedExtension/blob/cf65506c8382a3f7006f1ea401890eb20956ee80/content-script.js#L76 by

				document.getElementsByClassName('volume-bar')[0].appendChild(input); /* make our input exist on page */

[odiseo9999]

i dont know how to change that , please send photos to know where tu put that ? please.

[faf0]

@odiseo9999 Should be fixed on this branch: https://github.com/intOrfloat/spotitySpeedExtension/pull/8 You can pull the branch to your file system, and then load the unpacked extension into Chrome.

To be clear, the issue doesn't have anything to do with a Chrome update. Spotify updated their code and the extension needs to be updated to append the speed changer bar at a different location in the DOM.

[TrickyPatrick]

Thank you bud, I will try this out ASAP

[odiseo9999]

i still really dont know how to do that?

[faf0]

@odiseo9999 , it's not easy until the extension is updated in the Chrome Web Store, unfortunately.

In the meantime, you may load the branch from the PR with the fix to your filesystem: https://github.com/faf0/spotitySpeedExtension/tree/faf0/fix-issue-7 Next, you may load this folder with manifest.json as an unpacked extension into Chrome:

• https://stackoverflow.com/a/24577660
• https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/#manifest

Also, see https://github.com/faf0/spotitySpeedExtension/tree/faf0/fix-issue-7#install-from-github

[odiseo9999]

please , make a actualization , i really need this amazing aplication for my job .

[faf0]

@odiseo9999 , I updated my previous comment, linking more precise instructions.

You may try the steps from https://github.com/faf0/spotitySpeedExtension/tree/faf0/fix-issue-7#install-from-github , but make sure you download the code from https://github.com/faf0/spotitySpeedExtension/tree/faf0/fix-issue-7

Hope that helps.

[odiseo9999]

[TrickyPatrick]

@odiseo9999 he is not the one who created this. He gently offered us a fix because the creator is inactive. So he can't update it on google chrome store.

[odiseo9999]

As @TrickyPatrick pointed out, I'm not the maintainer of the extension on the Chrome Web Store, so I can't update it there.

Steps to install the extension with the fix manually:

1. Download this ZIP: https://github.com/faf0/spotitySpeedExtension/archive/refs/heads/faf0/fix-issue-7.zip
2. Extract the ZIP
3. In Chrome, browse to chrome://extensions
4. Remove the currently installed "Spotify Playback Speed Access" extension
5. Enable "Developer mode" using the toggle in the top-right corner
6. Click on "Load unpacked" and select the previously unzipped folder that has the manifest.json file
7. Ensure the extension is enabled by checking the corresponding toggle
8. Reload https://open.spotify.com/
9. After changing the playback speed by entering the desired target speed percentage, hit the "Enter" key

[odiseo9999]

That worked perfectly on Opera for me Thanks so much. I would have never figured this out on my own.

If anyone else is having trouble setting up, I found another extension that also supports Spotify.
