Note: Issue occurs oņ the scoop version of mpv and the Microsoft Store version of mpv as well.

The reason why this error occurs is because you are using the reuse mpv window option, which calls a function that import a library that was not put into our dependencies list.

So, we forgot to declare a dependency. For a quick fix, you can run python3 -m pip install python-mpv to fix this issue

It's now asking me to include a mpv-1.dll or mpv-2.dll in my system %PATH%, though I don't see to be able to find where I can get this .dll file since it wasn't included with my install.

Edit: I did manage to find a mpv-2.dll file by extracting a 7zip file I found from mpv's sourceforge but it didn't resolve the issue.

OSError: Cannot find mpv-1.dll or mpv-2.dll in your system %PATH%. One way to deal with this is to ship the dll with your script and put the directory your script is in into %PATH% before "import mpv": os.environ["PATH"] = os.path.dirname(__file__) + os.pathsep + os.environ["PATH"] If mpv-1.dll is located elsewhere, you can add that path to os.environ["PATH"].

Please refer to the info in the README I added. It seems the .dll is not on your path. Alternatively, like Dabbing-Guy said, you can deactivate the reuse_mpv_window option in your config.
