Outdated

Hey dear friend,
This workaround to prevent Spotify from updating seems to be outdated, just got mine updated to the last version.
It seems that something has changed, I think the update folder is now under Persistent Cache folder .... Any ideas to udpate this? Thanks!!
+1 ill try to fix it
An update here: so inside PersistentCache folder there's the Update folder containing the update files.
What I did: added those two files Spotify_new.archive and Spotify_new.archive.sig inside this Update folder and also I locked down everything: these files, the update file (.tbz) and also the whole folder.
Some of this actions did it and it is no longer updating.
Hey @gabrielmulle it didn't work for me. I've found out that Spotify is downloading it's files to sp_update now located in $TMPDIR. This script should work, it scans TEMP and tries to retrieve sp_update, if it's present it will get deleted. Unfortunately setting permissions to 000 doesn't prevent Spotify from updaten, idk how they manage to do that.
Looks like this script is working just OK and its much simpler:
#!/bin/sh cd $TMPDIR && mkdir sp_update && chmod 000 $TMPDIR/sp_update
just schedule it to run at system restart because TMP folder will get cleaned up.
