Just one more question. Each time I open spotify-player it starts using my TV as a device and music starts there. Is there an option to set my computer as a default device (player detects 3 devices that I have - my computer, TV and Denon player)?

This should be an easy-to-implement feature. Just want to have a confirmation,

AFAIK, spotify-player should respect the currently playing device and use it on startup. If no device is playing, it'll will connect to the first device in the list and the playing state should be "pause". If the player starts playing music in your TV (which is not playing before) on startup, it's a bug.

Anytime I start spotify player it's playing on Sony TV. Even if I change it to spotify-player (computer) next time when I start application it's "playing" on Sony TV (it's paused but anyway TV changes it's mode) - and my kids are screaming from downstairs that I mess with sound when they watch TV :)

Oh that's interesting lol. TIL about that TV behaviour when being requested to connect with Spotify. Thanks for the clarification.

@elkrien just implemented this with the latest change in master. The default device is "spotify-player" by default. You can also configure the default device by modifying the general config file.

Tested. Works great - from now it's my default Spotify player. Great job.

Btw - I did themes for Catppuccin and it is now in official Catppuccin organization repositories and with link to spotify-player repo.
I hope it will also allow to let more people know about this great player:

You can close this issue as solved.
