mpd-discord-rpc.service doesn't reconnect if discord is restarted.

When the mpd-discord-rpc is enabled, the doesn't automatically connect to discord if it is run after or if the client is restarted. Rather systemctl --user status restart mpd-discord-rpc.service outputs this error:

The current way i fix this is by restarting the service with discord using the command vesktop %U && systemctl --user restart mpd-discord-rpc.service. Its a bit hacky tho, and I would rather not have to do this.

It also runs this indefinitely, creating a massive journalctl log file full of errors. I'm not sure if that was the intention, but it'd be nice if there was a cleaner implementation.

I'm Currently on NixOS 24.05.

I'm also on 24.05 with mpd-discord-rpc v1.7.2

For me it automatically reconnects to discord after the client is launched but uses a huge amount of processing power and creates the errors you described indefinitely when the discord client is not running

When discord is running it is fine though.
Seems to be related to #137

This does not occur for me on v1.7.3 or latest -git. The discord-presence crate responsible for (re-)connecting was updated several times during this period. Can you ensure you are on the latest version and check if this is still an issue please.

EDIT: CPU problems were resolved, looks like it does not reliably re-connect on -git so looking at that now.
