SUMMARY
Mpris control plugin returns false for canPlay() for VLC Media Player. Because of this I can't play the media if it has been paused. Other players are working fine such as Chrome, Spotify.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open MprisActivity
2. Pause media being played in VLC desktop either from desktop or phone controller. 
 
OBSERVED RESULT
Play button in the activity gets disabled. Media can only be played from desktop.

EXPECTED RESULT
Play button should be enabled  and media should be played again from phone.
