I only have this in my code:

const mpvAPI = require('node-mpv');
const mpv = new mpvAPI({"debug": true});

Your mpv is too old. I'd suggest you checkout the Known Issues section of the readme, as there are differences between mpv <= 0.17 and > 0.17. The module should normally automatically find out whych commands to use to connect, but maybe specifying it by hand might fix your issue.

I'd still suggest installing a newer mpv to avoid problems.

How would I be able to update node-mpv? Updating with npm update node-mpv@2.0.0 doesn't work.

[AxelTerizaki]

You need to update mpv, not node-mpv.

Sorry for the late response, as @AxelTerizaki already pointed out your MPV Version is pretty old. If you want to or have to use that outdated version of MPV you can pass "ipcCommand": "--input-unix-socket" when you create the Node-MPV instance.

But I highly advise you to update MPV instead.
