Android Auto: Set playlist after media library initialization

Description

When VLC is launched from the Android Auto user interface the playback queue contains filenames instead of the decoded track name

Expected behavior

Queue should be set after media library is initialized so MediaWrapper objects are populated with metadata.

Actual behavior

Queue is set prior to media library initialization and MediaWrapper objects do not contain required data.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch VLC from Android Auto
  2. Navigate to the queue
  3. Observe tracks show filename and no metadata

Screenshot / video

Queue set with uninitialized media library:

uninitialized_media_library

Queue after media library has been initialized:

init_media_library
