I often have the problem, that after a suspend spotifyd is down. The process is still running, but it does not show up in the device list.

I added a quick hack in my local version to solve this problem, by adding the following snippet to main.rs

      if let Ok(device) = spotify.device().await {
        if device.devices.len() == 0 {
          let _ = std::process::Command::new("systemctl")
            .arg("restart")
            .arg("--user")
            .arg("spotifyd.service")
            .output();
        }
      }

I wanted to hear if you're interested in a better solution, where maybe the user could supply a command in the config file to be run if there are no devices available? Maybe it is better to fix it upstream in spotifyd? I'll be happy to implement it properly, if you think it would be useful
