Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_mpv.py", line 2, in <module>

    raise OSError('Cannot find mpv-1.dll in your system %PATH%. One way to deal with this is to ship mpv-1.dll '
OSError: Cannot find mpv-1.dll in your system %PATH%. One way to deal with this is to ship mpv-1.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"].

Have you tried doing what is suggested by the error?

@McSinyx Yes and works, but it worked before the lastest update.

However, i fixed like this:

# mpv.py

os.add_dll_directory(os.getcwd())
if os.name == 'nt':
    # dll = ctypes.util.find_library('mpv-1.dll')
    dll = CDLL("mpv-1.dll")
    ...
    # backend = CDLL(dll)
    backend = dll
    fs_enc = 'utf-8'

it worked before the lastest update

That was not very secured so it was fixed sometime ago. See #96 for discussion.
