When I use PuTTY (on Windows) to connect to an Ubuntu 18.04 desktop machine (without X11 forwarding)
mpsyt shows following error message:
old error message
mpris interface couldn't be initialized. Is dbus properly configured?
I don't know how to fix it until I modified the mpris.main() function to let it print DBusException.get_dbus_message() return value, and it saves me a lot of time to seek a solution.
new error message
Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
By setting the $DISPLAY environment variable to :0, I can now playing audio without any problems. And the play progress bar display normally too.
$ DISPLAY=:0 mpsyt playurl ioNng23DkIM
Suggestion
Show the exact reason when MPRIS process exited abnormally.
possible modification in mpris.py
