Treat them as http:// and https:// respectively. This allows to play files
on webdav archives directly on KDE, avoiding the (extremely slow) local
copying performed by kio.
Without this entry, when starting mpv as a flatpak application on
elementaryOS, the Dock icon would get duplicated, as if the application
was detached from its launcher. This entry fixes that by allowing the
dock to associate the app's window with the desktop entry.
Fixes#9109
Seems like this confused users quite often.
Instead of --profile=pseudo-gui, --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui now
has to be used to invoke pseudo GUI mode. The old way still works, and
still behaves in the old way.
The standard say:
NoDisplay means "this application exists, but don't display it in the menus".
Now that --force-window --idle is enabled, we can remove it.
Closes#1755.
This can be set to select a number of default settings that help mpv
pretend that it has a GUI.
I haven't decided yet whether I really want to use the profile mechanism
for this. There are a number of weird details that are not so easy to
handle with profiles, such as disabling pseudo-gui mode again (you can't
unset profiles directly). So this might change. But for now it will do.
There also should be a better way to store builtin profiles.
Unfortunately, the old crappy MPlayer config file parser needs on-disk
files, so just use a bunch of function calls for now.
Currently KDE will copy a media file into a temporary folder instead of
trying to stream it if a KIO slave location file is started. This change
will tell KDE to make mpv try to directly play the file. Perhaps the
proper flags should be added according to the individual enabled
features of the build but I suggest that be for the future.

The mpv.desktop file is taken from the Arch package [1]. It appears to
be based on the mplayer2 git mplayer.desktop file (e.g. very similar
MimeType field), with minor modifications applied by Arch package
maintainers.
Note that for now, this doesn't show a terminal (Terminal=false), which
might not always be ideal. For example, if the file is audio only, or
if VO initialization fails for some reason, mpv will run in the
background and play audio without showing a window. But users prefer
running it without terminal, and don't want to play audio files with
it.
Maybe a --force-window option will be added in the future, which would
always create a VO window, and compensate for these issues.
