Mpv: keep mpv player window in front of other windows at play time.

[noscripter]

I think it is convenient to keep the mpv play window in front of all other windows during play time, which is a standard feature too for all other movie players, so I am wondering how to enable this feature in mpv or if this feature is available.

You can also (de)activate it during runtime by pressing T.

Thank you so much, @Argon- @wm4 I think this should be updated to your document.

It is properly documented:

@Argon- nice, thank you.

@Argon- Is it possible to activate ontop while playing and deactivate while paused automatically?

_ontop-playback_
Disables the ontop property when pausing, and enables it again when unpausing the video, if it was disabled.
