Documentation for frontends like mpv.net

[stax76]

I would like to suggest describing in the documentation that frontends like mpv.net are only supported when mpv/ffmpeg is in PATH.

Before I ended up using mpv_thumbnail_script for thumbnails, I tried doing thumbnails in a blocking manner inside osc_tethys.lua. It was supposedly working with mpvnet in the path.

I may end up patching mpv_thumbnail_script to use mpvnet instead of mpv when it's found.

I don't know how the thumbnail extraction works, so I don't know if mpv.net can be used for this task.

In the next mpv.net release is an env var defined:

name: mpv_client
value: mpvnet

With that, you can find out if the script runs in mpv.net.
