my way of solving appimages that you want to run into the terminal is symbolic linking the appimage to /usr/bin, for example:

sudo ln -sf "/path/to/mpv_media_player.appimage" "/usr/bin/mpv"

I try to do this only after i've integrated the appimage into gearlever, but normally gear lever doesn't deal too well with only terminal appimages, since there is no need for desktop file, icons, if it auto recognized it was a terminal appimage, it could symlink to a /usr/bin/ /usr/local/bin/ or any path to binaries that the system recognizes without you having to do it manually.

after doing the symlinking as i said it will work.

the thing is that mpv is not a terminal application so integrate into gearlever first, then symlink it to /usr/bin/mpv after gearlever.
