libmpv is a C library (client API) that lets other programs embed the playback functionality of the mpv media player. You create a player instance, control playback through commands and property manipulation, and receive state changes through an event loop. Through the render API, video can be drawn directly onto the host application's display via OpenGL and others, and bindings exist for several languages, such as python-mpv.
