Sync from another app via MTC/MMC/OSC

[mrlimbic]

Most DAWs provide the ability to send sync to another app either via midi (MTC - midi timecode/MMC - midi machine control) or over a network (OSC - Open sound control).

It would be great to support external sync for playback and during editing (project is not playing back but still need to locate correct still frame based on playhead position in the DAW).

Sorry, misread the request. But really doubt this is relevant for mpv as player. And mpv/ffmpeg doesn't give you accurate frames anyway.

@timofonic out-of-topic. This is not that kind of sync.

How hard are to implement the required features and improvements to make it happen?

Not hard at all, just use Syncplay. It also works with other players, not just mpv.
