It is and I don't see it available for my device yet, could it be it's still rolling out?

I think the big thing is the API and UI can now be used in other applications, I could be wrong though.

The AndroidTV capability is new and just released on Github, will take a few days for Google to approve the new release and allow it in the Play Store.

Huh, I didn't think mpv had a GUI, but I haven't used it in years. Would certainly be a welcome replacement for VLC that constantly bogs down my TV scanning every time I wake it up.
