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.
