[Feature Request]: Don't open external player on startup automatically #532

Preflight checklist

Problem Description

I have miru configured to use mpv as an external player. When miru is opened, mpv opens alongside it with the last episode watched, without me having to do anything. The problem is that my mpv config has mpv open in fullscreen, and I also have a script that changes the monitor's refresh rate to match the frame rate of the video. Most of the time I'm not trying to rewatch the last episode I watched, so I have to wait for my monitor to switch refresh rates and close mpv every time I want to use miru.

A visual example of this behavior:

Proposed Solution

Have the external player open only after giving an input (pressing the play button in miru's own player, etc.). It could be a toggle in settings, as probably not many people have their video players set up like mine. I hope my problem is clear.
