As of 7 October 2026, the official BlockTheSpot repository is archived (read-only). Its latest release is tagged 2026.02.12, and its config.ini names Spotify 1.2.83.461 as the tested version. The patch can still work on a matching Spotify build, but there is no active maintainer publishing fixes for newer builds.

A status page is only useful if it says plainly what the facts are, so here is the practical reading. The repository is archived, which means the owner is not currently publishing changes there. The latest release is the last build that has been published. Its patch files are written against the Spotify version named in the repository's config.ini header. If your installed Spotify is that version, the patch has the best chance of working. If your Spotify is newer, the patch may still work for some features and fail for others.
We are not able to test every Spotify build on every machine, and we will not claim that a version works unless a verified source says so. For the exact behaviour you see, the most reliable check is to install the matching files on a backup, confirm the result, and keep the original files so you can revert.
We check four public sources: the repository's archive flag and push date, its latest release metadata and attached files, the header of its config.ini, and its README instructions. We do not run the patch on a test machine as part of this page, so the status above reflects public records, not our own install results. We say so because it matters: a repository being archived is a public fact, but whether a specific build still works on a specific computer is something only a test on that computer can show.
Each change updates the date at the top of this page. If you spot something out of date, please tell us through the contact page.
The primary sources are the official repository, its releases page, and its config.ini. If anything on this site disagrees with those sources, the sources win, and we will correct the site.
A status page is only useful if you know what each label means for your decision. The table below translates the facts on this page into practical actions. Use it whenever you check the status again, and especially after a Spotify update.
| What changed | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The repository is still archived, no new release | No official fix is being published for newer builds | Check whether your Spotify version still matches config.ini, then decide whether to stay or revert |
| A new release appears on the official releases page | The owner or a maintainer has published a new build | Verify its hashes, read its release notes, then compare its config.ini header with your build |
| The config.ini header names a new Spotify version | The tested build has moved | Compare your installed version. A match is the best case |
| The repository is unarchived | The owner has returned, at least for now | Re-read the README and releases before you act on any old advice |
If you answer no to any of these, fix that first. A status page cannot make the decision for you, but it can tell you which facts to check before you act.
Facts about a project change over time, and an undated fact is easy to misread as current. Every claim on this page is tied to a check date, and the check date is shown at the top. If the date is old, treat the facts as a starting point and verify them again on the official repository before you rely on them.
Every fact at the top of this page comes from three places, and you can check each one yourself in a few minutes. First, the repository page shows whether it is archived and when it was last pushed to. Second, the releases page lists the latest tag and its publication date. Third, the config.ini on the master branch names the Spotify version the project tested against. If our date at the top is older than your last check, trust your own check over ours.
We do not monitor the repository in real time. This page is updated when a verified fact changes, and the date at the top always shows the last time we checked. A status page that claimed to be live would be giving you a false sense of certainty.
If the repository is archived, the latest release is older than your Spotify build, and the config.ini names a different version, the patch may still work, but nothing guarantees it. In that situation, either stay on a Spotify build that matches the config, or accept that you are testing without an official fix. Both are reasonable choices. Pretending the situation is different is not.
Before you install, read what the archive changes. After any Spotify update, follow the update steps, and check the latest version page for the newest release. If you plan to check files, use the verification guide and download only from the official sources page.
It depends on your Spotify version. The official repository is archived, so no new maintainer builds are being published there. The patch may still work on the Spotify build its config.ini targets. If your Spotify build is newer than that, expect some features to stop being patched.
We re-check the public repository facts when we publish or revise this page, and we show the date of the last check at the top of the page. We only change the page when a verified fact changes, and we do not invent update dates.
The official repository and its releases page are the primary sources. Our compatibility page lists the Spotify version the current config.ini names, along with the release facts we verified.
