This is useful to run mpv from URL handler. Can be used to start mpv from you web browser or anything that would trigger url handler for given protocol. Current solutions to run mpv in such context are to spawn IPC proxy and run mpv when requested, but this is in most cases not necessary. Currently the protocol is added in mpv.desktop. Windows related registration will follow in future changes.
