when i run the command mpv DP-2 video.mp4 the video opens as a window instead of as a background, im running arch linux with i3

That's a X11 compositor.

"mpvpaper is a wallpaper program for wlroots based wayland compositors, such as sway."

If you want you could use Sway as a drop in replacement for i3. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway

I would also like to point to another project if you want to stay on i3 https://github.com/ujjwal96/xwinwrap

Otherwise mpvpaper will never ever support X11. As it would mean going through the hell that is X11 code.
