Use --force-window and --idle=once with mpv

Allows Syncplay to open mpv without having a media file ready:

This is cool.

Nice one. I'll look into that when I am next free. The important question is the version when the features were added to mpv so Syncplay knows when to use the functionality.

[wiiaboo]

--force-window in 0.2.0, --idle=once hasn't been applied to 0.7.3, I think? but --idle has been there since mplayer, so the safest way to use would be --idle=yes, I guess. At least until 0.8.0 gets released.

Thanks for the intel. We try to maintain backwards compatibility within Syncplay so this kind of information is rather useful. Using newer functionality is fine so long as there is graceful fallback.

[wiiaboo]

Just --idle seems to work too, so it's probably safe to use that.

Try a795aca and let me know if it works or if it causes any problems.

[wiiaboo]

Seems to be working fine. I'll try a few episodes with friends tomorrow.

Cheers. Quick fix to a bug introduced by the previous commit: fd6d157

[wiiaboo]

No bugs so far. I think it's safe to close this?

[Et0h]

Yup, all seems good. Thanks for your contribution :)
