Can you run this:

  (describe-variable 'emms-player-mpv-ipc-conn-emacs-26-workaround)

(alternatively, "C-h v" or "M-x describe-variable" then type that
variable name in minibuffer with auto-completion)

It should open *Help* buffer which would say where this var was
defined, along with its value.

Is it still nil there?
And if so, was is it defined/initialized in emms-player-mpv.el at the
correct ELPA path or maybe somewhere else?

It's a long shot, but at least can explain how nil value might end up there,
if something else picked-up and initializing this var before emms does.
