Unable to create two players at the same time despite instructions in the main README. I need to be able to start one player, then pre-load and pause the second to prepare for an instant switch to the second player later on in the program.
I was previously getting a DBus noreply error, but now am getting this whenever I try to load the second player (with video paths replaced, args and dbus name in reproduction below):
Traceback (most recent call last):

playerOne = OMXPlayer('videopath1', args='--loop --no-osd -n -1', dbus_name='org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer1')
input("Press enter to load second player")
playerTwo = OMXPlayer('videopath2', args='--no-osd -n -1', dbus_name='org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.omxplayer2', pause=True)
UPDATE: I've realized that if I just switch the video paths between the two players, I now get the NoReply error
