Description

Controls existing mpv instances through IPC sockets with an mpc-like command workflow written in Rust. It is useful for scripts, keybindings, and terminal users who want media control without focusing the player.

Socket-based control affects the selected mpv instance directly. Confirm socket paths and targets before binding commands globally, especially when several players or private media sessions are active.
