MPV opened from CLI will not tile, but when opened from MPV.app it will...

[dsambrano]

Describe the bug When calling MPV from the command line the app doesn't get tiled (and the tile/float toggle shortcut does nothing). However, when opening it via spotlight search it does get properly tiled.

Applications: What applications are involved? MPV video viewer

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: From the terminal open mpv with mpv path_to_video.mov it will not be tiled. But when opening view a spotlight search (cmd + space; shortcut) this will be properly tiled.

mpv was installed via brew install --cask mpv

I bet it doesn't have a bundle identifier when launched via cli.

You can open it from cli with open command. What do you want to achieve at the end? Is it piped with something?

I was specifically using this package (https://github.com/whoisYoges/anime-terminal), but when it wasn't working I was doing some testing and realized if I just open mpv from with the CLI and open a local file it still doesn't get tiled with Amethyst. It only gets tiled if I open MPV via spotlight search (or equivalent) and then open the file, but that means I can't have it programmatically set.
