+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+
+"""
+This script emulates "unique application" functionality on Linux. When starting
+playback with this script, it will try to reuse an already running instance of
+mpv (but only if that was started with umpv). Other mpv instances (not started
+by umpv) are ignored, and the script doesn't know about them.
+
+This only takes filenames as arguments. Custom options can't be used; the script
+interprets them as filenames. If mpv is already running, the files passed to
+umpv are appended to mpv's internal playlist. If a file does not exist or is
+otherwise not playable, mpv will skip the playlist entry when attempting to
+play it (from the GUI perspective, it's silently ignored).
+
+If mpv isn't running yet, this script will start mpv and let it control the
+current terminal. It will not write output to stdout/stderr, because this
+will typically just fill ~/.xsession-errors with garbage.
+
+mpv will terminate if there are no more files to play, and running the umpv
+script after that will start a new mpv instance.
+
+Note: you can supply custom mpv path and options with the MPV environment
+      variable. The environment variable will be split on whitespace, and the
+      first item is used as path to mpv binary and the rest is passed as options
+      _if_ the script starts mpv. If mpv is not started by the script (i.e. mpv
+      is already running), this will be ignored.
