ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
MPRIS_REMOTE_PLAYER
If unset or set to *, mpris-remote will communicate with the first player it finds registered under "org.mpris.*" through D-BUS. If you
only have one MPRIS-compliant player running, then this will be fine. If you have more than one running, you will want to set this
variable to the name of the player you want to connect to. For example, if set to foo, it will try to communicate with the player at
"org.mpris.foo" and will fail if nothing exists at that name.
