Command "strawberry -p" works only if...

• [ ] I have checked the FAQ for answers.
• [ ] I have checked the Changelog that the issue is not already fixed.
• [ +] I believe this issue is a bug, and not a general technical issue, question or feature requests that can be discussed on the forum.

Describe the bug When there's no active instance of Strawberry Player and another application calls "strawberry -p", the applications starts from zero, but the play action is not called. I've detected this because I use KAlarm with that command to start the music, and if after rebooting I didn't open Strawberry before the alarm is called, the the whole purpose of the alarm is not accomplished.

To Reproduce Close any active instance of Strawberry Player. Then from a terminal (or create a command alarm from KAlarm) call $ strawberry -p

Expected behavior 1) If not loaded already, the app Strawberry Player should load and the playing should be started. 2) If loaded already, the playing action should start. Note #2 already works. #1 is the issue I'm reporting.

System Information:

• Operating system: Archlinux with kernel 6.6.33-1-lts, KAlarm 3.8.1.2 (KDE Gear 24.05.1)
• Strawberry Version: 1.0.23

The problem is that it tries to play before the playlist is loaded, so we need to delay the play until the playlists are loaded.

I've just checked Strawberry v1.1.0 and the bug (/wish?) is still present.

Thank you! I'm not sure when it will be available in Arch to test, but I appreciate the effort improving this great Strawberry music player!
