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.
