if i read it correctly, you mean running the hook asynchronously? so dont block on the hook. That does sound good, but does make a more complicated

tested works good!

spotifyd is mostly meant as a player for spotify not a client. A client is in charge of choosing the songs etc. You can indeed use dbus to play/pause/next/prev but...

i think every mpris command does a network request to the spotify api to get the info, so it makes sense it is slow. A better method should be made...

There is https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/pull/575

i recently looked at ncspot, they use a mix of futures 0.1/0.3 with the compat feature. We could do the same as it could make the codebase a lot nicer...

unfortunately this is a breaking change, we could also change the readme to `initial_volume = "90"` and keep the weird beheviour but that isnt great either

yes that might be a good plan, the only thing just like the TOML pr is that people will copy the config from the readme, and that wont be compatible

Or we could point the default branch to the latest release

@slondr its a little too big for me to fully review right now. If you tested it and looks look then go ahead
