Describe the bug

Hello there, first of all, thank you for all your dedication to work on a such amazing plugin ! I have an issue with the playerctl plugin, it show an empty plugin when no players are running, even with set -g @dracula-show-empty-plugins false setup.

Configuration file

# Make colors inside tmux look the same as outside of tmux
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect'
set -g @plugin 'dracula/tmux'

# available plugins: battery, cpu-usage, git, gpu-usage, ram-usage, tmux-ram-usage, network, network-bandwidth, network-ping, ssh-session, attached-clients, network-vpn, weather, time, mpc, spotify-tui, krbtgt, playerctl, kubernetes-context, synchronize-panes
set -g @dracula-plugins "ssh-session ram-usage battery playerctl time"
set -g @dracula-ignore-window-colors false
set -g @dracula-show-powerline true
set -g @dracula-show-flags true
set -g @dracula-show-empty-plugins false

# it can accept `hostname` (full hostname), `session`, `shortname` (short name), `smiley`, `window`, or any character.
set -g @dracula-show-left-icon session

# Datetime 
set -g @dracula-show-timezone false
set -g @dracula-day-month true

# Monitor resource
set -g @dracula-cpu-usage-label "\uf4bc"
set -g @dracula-ram-usage-label "\uec19"

# Battery
set -g @dracula-battery-label false
set -g @dracula-no-battery-label false
set -g @dracula-show-battery-status true

# default is 1, it can accept any number and 0 disables padding.
set -g @dracula-left-icon-padding 0 

# Playerctl settings
set -g @dracula-playerctl-format "\uf001 {{ artist }} - {{ title }}"


# Left symbol separator
set -g @dracula-show-left-sep \ue0b8 #this is the following symbol -> 

# Right symbol separator
set -g @dracula-show-right-sep \ue0b2 # this is the following symbol -> 


set -g @dracula-colors "
# Tomorrow Night Color Palette
pink='#cc6666'
orange='#de935f'
yellow='#f0c574'
green='#b5bd68'
cyan='#8abdb6'
light_purple='#b294ba'
white='#c4c8c5'
dark_gray='#363a41'
red='#cc6666'
gray='#1d1f21'
dark_purple='#373b41'
"

# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run -b '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

I am using the set -g @dracula-colors option to override the default theme for using another one, thank you for reading it and for your time.

first of all i'm very happy to see that you're using custom colours, as its been one of my most favourite changes i worked on implementing. i would love to see you write a pr (or an issue, providing info) adding your colour scheme to the docs!

now to your issue: i hope i fixed it in #314, but need you to test it properly. please let us know :D
