If you like launching mpv from the terminal to play music but you also use a desktop environment like KDE or Gnome be sure to install mpv-mpris. It's installed with mpv on some distros like openSUSE but not on others like Fedora.

Thanks for that one, mpv-mpris is not present on Debian/Ubuntu, but is just easy to fetch the mpris.so from https://github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris. Wrote a small entry to remember the setup: https://github.com/gmt4/mpvc/wiki/FAQ#mpris-support
