# EXAMPLES
```
bar:
center:
- mpris:
identities:
- "spotify"
- "firefox"
content:
map:
conditions:
state != offline && state != stopped:
- string: {text: "{artist}", max: 30 }
- string: {text: "-" }
- string: {text: "{title}", max: 30 }
```
# NOTE
The 'identity' refers a part of your clients DBus bus name.
You can obtain a list of active client names using:
```
Systemd: > busctl --user --list
Playerctl: > playerctl --list-all
Libdbus: > dbus-send --session --print-reply --type=method_call \
--dest='org.freedesktop.DBus' /org org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
```
MPRIS client bus names start with 'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.<identity>'.
For example, firefox may use the bus name:
'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.firefox.instance_1_7' which
gives us the identity 'firefox'
