以前(1年前~半年前)は問題なく機能していた Rogerio MGさんと同様に数曲再生すると再生が停止し、ページを更新しないと機能が働かなくなってしまった 尚、広告ブロッカー含む拡張機能を30ほど導入しているため、この拡張機能由来の不具合かは不明 他の拡張機能をすべて停止して、この拡張機能だけを有効にしてspotifyを使用してみる検証をしたら、結果をここに記そうと思う It was functioning properly before (1 year to 6 months ago). As with Rogerio MG, playback stopped after playing a few songs, and the function stopped working unless the page was refreshed. However, since I have installed about 30 extensions, including ad blockers, it is unclear whether this is a problem caused by these extensions. I will try using Spotify with all other extensions disabled and only this extension enabled, and will post the results here. Anteriormente (hace un año o medio año) funcionaba sin problemas. Al igual que Rogerio MG, cuando reproduzco varias canciones, la reproducción se detiene y la función deja de funcionar a menos que actualice la página. Además, tengo instaladas unas 30 extensiones, entre ellas un bloqueador de anuncios, por lo que no sé si el problema se debe a esta extensión. Voy a desactivar todas las demás extensiones y dejar solo esta activa para probar si Spotify funciona. Cuando lo haya comprobado, escribiré aquí los resultados. 之前(一至六個月前)工作正常 就像 Rogerio MG 一樣,播放了幾首歌之後就停止了,而且除非我重新刷新頁面,否則功能也停止運作 請注意,我安裝了大約 30 個擴充套件,包括廣告封鎖程式,所以我不確定問題是否來自這個擴充套件 我停止了所有其他擴充套件,只啟用了這個擴充套件,而且 當我使用 spotify 驗證所有其他擴充套件都已停止,只有這個擴充套件啟用後,我就會把結果張貼在這裡 كان يعمل بشكل جيد في السابق (قبل عام إلى نصف عام) مثلما حدث مع Rogerio MG، توقف التشغيل بعد تشغيل عدد من الأغاني، ولم يعد الوظيفة تعمل ما لم يتم تحديث الصفحة. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تم تثبيت حوالي 30 وظيفة إضافية بما في ذلك مانع الإعلانات، لذا من غير الواضح ما إذا كان هذا الخلل ناتج عن هذه الوظيفة الإضافية. سأقوم بإيقاف جميع الوظائف الإضافية الأخرى وتفعيل هذه الوظيفة الإضافية فقط لتجربة استخدام Spotify، وسأقوم بتدوين النتائج هنا. Antes (há um ano a seis meses), funcionava sem problemas. Tal como aconteceu com o Rogerio MG, após reproduzir algumas músicas, a reprodução parou e a página teve de ser atualizada para que a função voltasse a funcionar. No entanto, como tenho cerca de 30 extensões instaladas, incluindo um bloqueador de anúncios, não sei se o problema é causado por esta extensão. Vou desativar todas as outras extensões, ativar apenas esta extensão e testar o Spotify. Depois, vou registar aqui os resultados. Раньше (1 год назад – 6 месяцев назад) работал без проблем. Как и у Rogerio MG, после воспроизведения нескольких песен воспроизведение останавливалось, и функция переставала работать, если не обновлять страницу. Кроме того, я установил около 30 расширений, включая блокировщик рекламы, поэтому неясно, связана ли эта проблема с этим расширением. Я собираюсь отключить все другие расширения, оставить только это расширение и попробовать использовать Spotify, а затем запишу здесь результаты.

Era maravilhoso e cumpria exatamente o que prometia. Hoje, ele tá bugado. Após umas 5 ou 6 músicas, ele para e não avança mais, travando a tela. Tem que recarregar a página a cada vez que isso acontece pra voltar a tocar as músicas.
