Adding another Media Player

[Alexander Matthes]

Hello Aleix,

I just noticed, that I answered to your mail address instead of the whole mailing list. So again: Thanks for the clarification, it helped a lot!

With this I was able to find a new MPRIS2 interface plugin für DeaDBeeF (https://github.com/Serranya/deadbeef-mpris2-plugin) as the built in version seems to be broken. Maybe this helps another person with the same problem about KDEConnect and DeaDBeeF someday.

It works flawless. :)

Thanks again and best wishes,
Alex
