playerctld switches "latest player" to mpv livestream without user input #304

When watching a livestream with mpv, playerctld will change the player back to mpv every few seconds. I think this is because the mpris:length field changes as the stream progresses. Maybe ignore changes to mpris:length when deciding if a player has changed?

$ playerctl --version

I'm having the same issue when playing a network stream with VLC.
