Feature Request : Add custom mpv.dll options / parameters to launch

[Riezel 33]

since i think we'll going into emby app on windows store later on, it would be great if there is an option to use custom mpv.dll or parameters to use (for example --input-ipc-server ) so i can try to hook it to SVP, this method is working fine long ago, but with latest emby-theater version (3.0.20) you need to replace the mpv-1.dll
i already tried replacing mpv.dll on the windows store version (by using linux live cd to bypass trusted installer) it seems it won't work, so i want to try different approach by using ipc-server params

Hi, what params would you need to be able to do this without a custom mpv build?

well for starter, as simple command like this --input-ipc-server=xxx

this is normal version without param (svp didnt detect it)

and this is the mpv run with proper param matching the config in svp so i can match the ipc server (in this case assd) and svp detect it and convert it into 120fps mode

on side note, in older version of emby-theater windows (non store) you can just add emby-pipe in svp config to natively detect emby player within emby-theater

So that's really all you'd need?

for my specific use case? yes, since i only need to hook it for SVP (my main purpose and my sole reason why i still use the old emby-theater instead emby app for windows)
but for others who knows?
also some other param which might useful is 
--ordered-chapters=yes (since i do think some people have this kind of media, and current emby didn't support it)
--script=xxxx (for more advanced usage)
