Current Behavior
Currently, when YTMD starts it loads the playlist and song where I left off but requires me to start the playback because I set it to Pause on application launch, which is expected.
But I cannot press the media-play button (XF86AudioPlay) to start this, as YTMD hasn't created an MPRIS player yet, only after I manually go to the UI and click play I'm able to use the media buttons.
Expected Behavior
That YTMD would create an MPRIS player as soon as there is a song in the queue
Steps To Reproduce
- Enable
Continue where you left ofandPause on application launch - Start some songs
- Restart the application
- Press the play/pause key on your keyboard
- observe YTMD not starting playback

This is sounding like an extension of #1165 and also just how MPRIS works in native Electron 🤔
The feature was changed to work better via using the Requires user input to fix this issue:

Right before we released v2.0.0-rc.1 we modified the functionality to utilize autoplay blocking because it provided a better UX. The previous one would try to pause the song as quickly as possible when it played which often ended up with the song playing for 1 second
