As Sebastian pointed out, there actually is a way to do it, and apparently
mpv.desktop is already doing it (and it seems to generally work). So if you do
see mpv in your menu, it's probably a bug in whatever software manages your
menus (that is, it doesn't respect NoDisplay=true).
So feel free to reassign this bug, or I'll close it.
