New issue by harrisonthorne on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/25587

Description:
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System

* xuname:  
  `Void 5.8.13_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrrmFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF`
* package:  
`spotify-1.1.26_2`

### Expected behavior

On my previous install with Arch Linux, I was able to control Spotify playback with `playerctl`. I'm using awesomewm with keybinds to control audio playback, with commands such as `playerctl play-pause`. These commands work for other MPRIS players like Firefox and MPV with the mpv-mpris plugin.

### Actual behavior

`playerctl` doesn't work with Spotify, and playback information doesn't show up in my [muse-status](https://github.com/harrisonthorne/muse-status) bar either.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

Bonus issue: Currently it seems that spotify-1.1.26_***1*** is unable to be installed correctly/completely from the official nonfree repository:

```
~/D/void-packages $ sudo xbps-install spotify

Name    Action    Version           New version            Download size
spotify install   -                 1.1.26_1               - 

Size required on disk:          229B
Space available on disk:      6123MB

ERROR: spotify-1.1.26_1: [configure] INSTALL script failed to execute the post ACTION: Operation not permitted

``` 

So I am using the spotify package from my local repository.

1. Install spotify from a local void-packages repository
2. Make sure `playerctl` is installed too
3. Play a song on Spotify and try to toggle playback with `playerctl play-pause`

Here's an extra little bit of information:

```
~/D/void-packages $ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify was not provided by any .service files
```
