# Always claim playback on our own device at launch, instead of having to
# pick it from the device popup every time. Two upstream guards in
# client/mod.rs stop that from happening:
# 1. initialize_playback skips connecting entirely if any playback
# already exists — a phone or web player holding a paused playback
# is enough.
# 2. find_available_device returns the currently *active* device before
# it ever gets to the "prefer the integrated device" branch.
# Disabling both leaves the integrated device as the startup target.
# The CLI can't do this from the outside: `connect --name` resolves names
# against the Web API device list, which usually doesn't contain our
# freshly registered librespot device at all.

# Upstream ships no .desktop file (TUI only), so the launcher can't find it.
# The launcher also force-connects to our own librespot device: upstream only
# auto-connects when *no* playback exists anywhere on the account
# (client/mod.rs `initialize_playback` bails out when playback.is_some()), so
# a phone or web player still holding a paused playback means we'd otherwise
# have to pick the device by hand every launch. Retry because the device takes
# a few seconds to register with Spotify.
