New to MPV, I have questions
How would I use MPV as an image viewer, I have tried this link, but it doesn't seem to work as soon as I open an image file, it plays for like 2 seconds that MPV "exits" the file, possibly I would have to toggle inf loop on all image files, but I don't know how I would do this
