I would disable it regardless whether it has issues or not. Playdar is
indeed not so mainstream that is would be useful to many people.
Doubly so if it has issues, though the issues still need to be resolved.

Stuffcorpse has created this branch that is perfectly suited:

Not sure if we need it though, just disabling the service might be
enough.
