How do I get no ads to play even through the amazon shit?
I think the only way it will work is if you connect via Bluetooth(if the echo dot can do that). Casting basically just sends a URL to the device and it fetches the audio feed itself. Since xmanager isn’t on the echo, it can’t block the ads.
I have the same issue when playing through my Google Home’s. I tried looking for a domain to block through my router, but I couldn’t find one that wouldn’t also block the music.
I am gonna say the obvious: the echo dots have their own Spotify client. You could use network speakers and stream from your phone to them. I think Spotify even supports them fairly well.
The protocol is… DLNA?I’m guessing i can’t mod the echo dots in any way?
No, you can’t. Besides, it would be worlds easier to just get some regular ol Bluetooth speakers.
Only reason I like them is because I use voice commands all the time
If you stream from your phone to Bluetooth or network speakers, couldn’t you use the voice assistant there? I think there are open source ones iirc
You can try setting up NextDNS on your network and blocking all known Spotify ad delivery domains through the CHEF-KOCH Spotify filterlist.
ill give it a try
Don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions.
