Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/338

Describe the bug
Kind of a follow-up to #336: I tried connect but get this issue:

> spotify_player connect --name "Wohnzimmer Echo"
Bad request: No device with name=Wohnzimmer Echo found
> spotify_player get key devices
[]

However, in the interactive player, it clearly is playing from that device:

To Reproduce
Not sure how to reproduce this, tbh.

Expected behavior
The CLI should detect the device, just as the TUI is able to.

Log and backtrace

spotify-player-24-01-16-09-42.log
The corresponding .backtrace file is empty.

Environment
macOS 14.1 (arm)
spotify_player 0.16.3

Oh right, I forgot. You will need to setup Spotify Connect as mentioned in https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player#spotify-connect to connect to another device. Otherwise, get_device API will return empty.
