I have added a little fix in order to prevent a Gnome Shell crash when playing videos (i.e. YouTube videos) on Google Chrome or Chromium browser.

The crash was caused by Chromium's MPRIS implementation, which returns artist field as a string instead of an array of string. More info available here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1835623

This change allows Laine to read both string and array of string values.

I know this is more a Chromium's bug instead of a Laine's bug, but I use Chrome and Laine every day and this crash was bothering me so much 😅

Thank you very much for your great work!
