Spotify works with next, but not with play-pause or previous

[jazz-it]

The player I am using is Spotify v1.2.37.701.ge66eb7bc.

playerctl v2.4.1
kernel 6.1.92-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
KDE Plasma v6.0.5
KDE Frameworks v6.2.0
X11

When I run the playlist, then execute playerctl next from my terminal, the song is skipped to the next song, as expected, but if I run playerctl previous, Spotify ignores it. However, if I run playerctl -p spotify previous, Spotify responds correctly. I spotted the same issue with playerctl play-pause command. Strangely, only next works with Spotify without specifying the player, so I created a temporary workaround for my Previous media key on my keyboard:

if [[ $(playerctl -p spotify status) =~ ^(Playing)$ ]]; then playerctl -p spotify previous; else playerctl previous; fi

... and my Play/Pause media key:

if [[ $(playerctl -p spotify status) =~ ^(Playing|Paused)$ ]]; then playerctl -p spotify play-pause; else playerctl play-pause; fi

The above workaround works well, but I wonder if that could be avoided: is it due to the issue with playerctl or Spotify vs. MPRIS implementation perhaps?

I also faced this problem: prev and next works well but not for play/pause/pause-play, and using --player spotify can temporally fix it. It may similar to #261
