I tried using Debian 9 xfce and I encountered a problem using Spotify and Clementine music player, problem is that i cannot control them with my multimedia keys (such as play/pause, rewind) if i configure the Dbus in spotify then clementine throws a
A little more info about this dbus config thru spotify might be interesting, also I'm not sure about "Universal multimedia keys" what exactly are they?
What I meant by universal is rather simple xD, in Desktop environments like MATE or Cinnamon multimedia keys work out of the box, i can use them for youtube, clementine, spotify, whatever suits my needs, however on xfce this seems impossible (or too complex for me since im not familiar with keyboard configs)
I would exchange everything I know in exchange for half of what I don't.
you can't control TWO applications at the same time with the same global hotkeys, do you understand that?
I know, i do not have spotify and clementine open at the same time, that would be plain stupid. It just got plain weird that global keys stopped working, I have clementine with default keys and the keysnippets are the same as the code i posted above with the same dbus orders.

if i configure the Dbus in spotify then clementine throws a error
have you tried the other way round?
clementine first?
I'm not so good with dbus, it could be that if you define global hotkeys in spotify, it uses dbus and masks that key even when spotify is not running? that would be poor coding, but possible.
maybe dbus can be set up to check first if spotify is running, and to pass that key through otherwise.
