I assume i will have to build it myself but i found no instructions for doing so either on Windows or cross-compiling on Linux. I know it's not a pympv problem, but some help in that direction would be greatly appreciated.

Your build of mpv should come with libmpv or you should have built it yourself with --enable-libmpv-shared

[silvium]

Thank you, your comment has directed me towards building it myself. I have followed the "Native compilation with MSYS2" tutorial but all i get is "libmpv.a" and "libmpv.dll.a", no "mpv.lib". Is there any link or search terms you can provide that would help me get a ".lib" file?

I know I'm commenting on an old issue, but msys2 provides an already built mpv under the package of mingw-w64-i686-mpv and mingw-w64-x86_64-mpv which also provides the shared library for mpv
