[ISSUE] mpv-mpris isn't activated when installed

New issue by ShinyZero0 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/44375

Description:
Not sure if it's not intended.
I expected `playerctl` will just start to work with `mpv` when i install `mpv-mpris`, but it doesn't.
I have to activate it manually with a commandline argument like this

```bash
mpv --script=/usr/lib/mpv-mpris/mpris.so
```

If i symlink the `mpris.so` to `/etc/mpv/scripts/mpris.so` it will just work without any arguments. I think it should be like that by default

Comment:
void generally does not activate things for people if it differs from the default upstream configuration

Comment:
seems like their system-wide installation script in makefile symlinks it

Comment:
I think this is the correct behavior, just installing a package shouldn't automatically enable the script in my opinion, that's why configs exist.

Comment:
it also makes it so you can activate it per-user and not have it be enabled for users on a system who don't want it without needing admin rights https://github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris#loading
