+
+            mpv-image-viewer aggregates configurations, scripts and tips for using
+            mpv as an image viewer. The affectionate nickname mvi is given to mpv in
+            such case.
+
+            Each mpv-image-viewer script can be used on its own without depending on
+            any of the others. Refer to the README and script-opts/ directory for
+            additional configuration tips or examples.
