Wingpanel indicator sometimes shows "Not Playing" even when playing a track about wingpanel-indicator-sound

[Marukesu]

The "Not Playing" label is a fallback label for when the application doesn't set a xesam:artist tag in the org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata property.

looking at the indicator code, it don't update the label when the play/pause state changes, so it keeps "Not Playing" until there's a metadata change.

@Marukesu Thanks for the analysis - sounds easy enough to fix. The simplest fix would be to change the fallback to something like "Unknown Artist" I guess.

There is still an issue (in Wingpanel indicator) in that Music displays the Artist name even when the Wingpanel shows "Not playing"?
