Not all ads are muted

Hello ysangkok and thanks for this great app!

I have the following problem on Ubuntu 16.04: sometimes the ad is not muted, here is the screenshot of what happens - http://savepic.ru/11157456.jpg It only happens with fullscreen ads but occasionally they are muted, not sure why. Also occasionally the music is muted, I have to pause it and then resume playing.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks

Unfortunately I can't do anything about the video ads, they are not published on D-Bus. But they only appear if you haven't got Spotify minimized, so I'd recommend just minimizing instead of letting other windows cover Spotify.

Maybe one could hack a WM plugin that somehow tells Spotify it is minimized all the time, only maximizing it for input events.

Regarding the music that is muted, I'd need to see the console output, but I think it may have something to do with PulseAudio buffer lengths, you gotta keep those short.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will keep spotify minimized.

I will try to play with PulseAudio's buffer and see what happens.
