Answer 1

I've noticed that too, it doesn't happen always but occasionally mpv remains active even after program is closed, unfortunately I don't know how to fix it. On exit gmp-video sends stop command to fifo file, that should first stop the video then delete fifo and output file. And it always stops video playback, but mpv for some reason remains in memory. What's interesting when you click the Stop button in the middle of a video, then check for activity with pidof mpv it will in that case exit properly, not remain active. In both ways command sent to fifo is the same but result is different. Probably I did something wrong...
In case someone is willing to check the method it's here:
