Remote control:

import github.com/blang/mpv

ipcc := mpv.NewIPCClient("/tmp/mpvsocket") // Lowlevel client
c := mpv.NewClient(ipcc) // Highlevel client, can also use RPCClient

c.LoadFile("movie.mp4", mpv.LoadFileModeReplace)
c.SetPause(true)
c.Seek(600, mpv.SeekModeAbsolute)
c.SetFullscreen(true)
c.SetPause(false)

pos, err := c.Position()
fmt.Printf("Position in Seconds: %.0f", pos)
