Opening other spotify clients sometimes ask Continue Playing

[rlopzc]

Hello, when trying to control librespot from other clients, it sometimes ask "Continue Playing" and the current session (song) continues. It automatically connects when this "Continue Playing" pops in the client.

The problem is when it doesn't, and I try to select manually the session stops

This is the debug trace when this manual selection and session stops:

Any idea what could it be?

Do you have a way of reproducing this reliably?

I just want to note that this happens to me too. I don't know how to reproduce it, however. The one thing I noticed is that exiting the other client and starting it up again, it detects librespot and offers to continue playing.

I really need a reproducible scenario to start doing something about this.
