mpv defaults are stored in the system-wide /etc/mpv directory and may
be overridden by files in your ~/.config/mpv directory.

"noquiet" is not an option that mpv understands, which is why it's
puking. Not sure what's calling mpv and specifying that option, but
smplayer's options are in your ~/.config/smplayer directory, so try
looking there to see if smplayer is calling mpv with that option, e.g.

	$ grep -r noquiet ~/.config/smplayer
