ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Daniel 2020-02-17 20:24:29 UTC 
I think KDEconnect uses MPRIS for that. Kaffeine should support MRPIS.

It successfully registers as a player and provides the necessary dbus endpoints, but not under the neccessary names:

> Each media player must request a unique bus name which begins with org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.

But kaffeine exposes them as for example

qdbus org.mpris.kaffeine /Player org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.Pause
