Mute MPV launching from command line switch / arguments

[pcgeek86]

I typically launch MPV from the Windows "Run" prompt, to monitor security cameras. I'd like these cameras to be muted, rather than having to mute them each time I launch MPV. They pick up a lot of wind noise, which isn't helpful, and typically I just need to see the video.

I realize that I could edit the MPV configuration file, and set the mute option there. Generally, I prefer to specify all my required parameters on the command line, so I can take that command, run it from any computer, and get a similar result.

Does MPV have a command line argument that I can specify to mute the audio at launch time?

Thank you! That's helpful.

mpv --mute=yes [rtsp_url]

Just --mute also works.
