Questions tagged [mpv]

The [mpv] tag is for questions about programmatically interacting with the mpv media player or its C library.

mpv is a free, open source, and cross-platform media player. It is a fork of mplayer2 and MPlayer. It shares some features with the former projects while introducing many more.

mpv can be controlled via a command line interface and/or via a JSON-based IPC protocol. It also has a C API which makes it usable as a library.
