Media Player interface doesn't distinguish between local and remote players

Current Behavior

When I pair & connect Valent to my Android device running KDE Connect on my phone, I can view players exposed by Valent through the KDE Connect protocol.

The issue is that when I open Valent on my PC, it also sees players from the phone.

Let me explain this in more detail by giving an example,

on my phone (KDE Connect)

I have two apps playing music:

  • YouTube Music
  • Apple Music

on my PC (Valent)

I have one app playing music:

  • Muzika

Observation

On my phone, I will see the two players (YouTube Music & Apple music) + the one exposed by Valent (Muzika)

If I go on my PC, Valent will see three players from the Android phone, i.e. YouTube Music, Apple Music & Muzika. Note that it sees Muzika as a player from the phone, even though it's a player from itself.

Expected Behavior

I woud expect only the sources from the app to be shown (not other sources exposed by KDE Connect on the phone)
