[BUG REPORT] - Windows 7 show a window in the task bar

[zFlowy]

Description

Is it normal to have a window in the task bar indicating the video is playing as wallpaper? I have W7 btw.

Steps to reproduce

I just downloaded the program and set a video to wallpaper, that's all.

Expected behavior

I don't think it must show a window in the task bar, I mean, the process should be running in background.

Actual behavior

I started the program, chose a video and set it as wallpaper, then a window playing the video shows in the task bar.

Windows version

Windows 7

Mate, windows 7, god knows why that appears in the taskbar, you will have to play with the mpv configuration or try the first versions of autowall...

@zFlowy @SegoCode running mpv like this gave needed result to me:

 subprocess.Popen([
 "mpv",
 video_file,
 f"--wid={desktop_hwnd}",
 "--loop",
 "--no-border",
 "--force-window=yes",
 "--geometry=100%x100%",
 "--fps=24",
 "--hwdec=auto",
 "--vo=direct3d",
 "--audio=no",
 "--cache=no",
 "--really-quiet",
 "--no-osc",
 "--no-input-default-bindings"
 ])

p.s. in the end while trying to fix this I ended up with own wp applier(with drag&drop support) and stopper... But thanks for ready mpv pack, I guess. (I really didn't expected that making own live WP-player will turn out to be so simple)
