Fully ready to be used as a typical GUI app. I guess it's a less mouthful way of saying GUI-able but not GUI-only.
Perhaps "universal" better matches the breadth of functionality MPV covers? |

mpv is a command line media player. You can interact with it in your terminal in many, many different ways and that is completely by design, and that will not be going away. If some newer GUI feature warrants being mentioned in the README, I'm not necessarily opposed to that but I object to the notion that the command line is "legacy" to be moved on from or something like that. |

What common scenarios? Yours? The option is enabled by default for a reason. |
Everything listed under the "PSEUDO GUI MODE" section in the manual! |
Pseudo GUI mode was added in v0.9.0, and nothing has changed in how mpv works from the command line since then. If you encounter any cases where command-line support has regressed, please feel free to report an issue with a detailed description and steps to reproduce. |
