Can't play music files in terminal without opening mpv with gui

[akash-258]

Without the script when playing music files from terminal, mpv does not open a window and played music in terminal only.
With script, when playing the music file from terminal, mpv window is launched with the visualizer.

Can the script be configured to only show visualizer when a file is played by right-clicking or played with mpv command --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui and does not trigger to open a mpv window when playing music files from terminal?

The default behavior of mpv is that when opened with force-window=no and you cycle your video track to no, the window disappears and you're left only with the terminal.
Should with the script in that case the window also disappear, or keep the window open and start visualizer?

Edit: I just tried it, it still closes the window, but immediately opens a new one.

This issue is still present in the current version of the script. @christoph-heinrich @mfcc64

When I run mpv --force-window=no --terminal <path to song> it doesn't open a window. Do you have force-window=yes or force-window=immediate in your mpv.conf? Then it will open a window even without this script.
