Also, there's this: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/ipc.rst

"mpv can be controlled by external programs using the JSON-based IPC protocol. It can be enabled by specifying the path to a unix socket or a named pipe using the option --input-ipc-server. Clients can connect to this socket and send commands to the player or receive events from it."
