    I’m targeting a Linux release

    Your 3, I’m not sure to understand what you want to do.

    I don’t want the active MPV file info in the terminal as if I CTRL+C, CTRL+D, or close the terminal, MPV will close too. So I want it to run as a background process (like how you can minimize VLC to the tray)

    I don’t know if using something like nohup mpv <some file> & would work. I guess I could use pkill mpv to close it then.

    I saw mpv has a --quiet option. What does that do?
