I forgot about the NoDisplay-thingy when reporting the bug. Here it's the gnome-shell that displayed it, and IIRC correctly it showed it within the most often used applications, not in the regular list. At the moment, gnome-shell apperently decided, that I didn't use mpv often enought, as a result it's not in this list anymore. To sum things up, it's not a bug in mpv, gnome-shell did something werid and right now everything looks as is should. So this bug can be closed and doesn't even need to be forwarded to gnome-shell. I have to observer, if it gets back to the often used applications list. Cheers - Fuddl
