By default, mpDris2 will try to connect to localhost:6600.
To set a different host or port copy the example configuration file
/usr/[local]/share/doc/mpdris2/mpDris2.conf to ~/.config/mpDris2/mpDris2.conf.
Use the configuration to enable notifications and multimedia keys support (on the GNOME desktop).
You need also to set the music_dir option and have the Python mutagen
module installed for mpDris2 to export covers paths in the MPRIS metadata.
Restart your session or mpDris2 after changing mpDris2.conf.
