Description
Important Information
Provide following Information:
- mpv version Latest release.
- Platform and Version Windows 10 & Ubuntu 20.04
Reproduction steps
Start mpv in encoding mode and encode a playlist of media files.
Either setup a timed event in a lua script or issue a command via IPC to quit after approximately 1 minute.
Expected behavior
mpv should immediately quit.
Actual behavior
mpv stops but does not quit, process stays alive.
Log file
Log file provides no clues. In this example I send the quit command at approx 10 seconds, but nothing is recorded in the log:
mpv-2021-03-19-10-43-49-71.log
Note - the log file uses a custom build of mpv but the results are identical in the latest release. I've noticed this bug since I began using mpv for encoding (since March 2020 builds, this problem likely has been around for much longer)

Research direction
Start by reproducing encoding mode with --o=... and send the quit command from a Lua timed event or through IPC. Trace why mpv stops encoding but leaves the process alive; done means the same quit command immediately terminates mpv in the reported Windows and Ubuntu scenarios.
