Oh well, not entirely unexpected :)

Suspect this one is due to mpv configuration (which maybe needs to
be reset on first connection) or different behavior of --idle in
previous versions.

Can you do:

  (require 'emms-player-mpv)
  (add-to-list 'emms-player-list 'emms-player-mpv)
  (setq emms-mpv-debug t)
  (emms-player-mpv-start (emms-playlist-current-selected-track))

Then send whatever ends up in *Messages* when running these?

"loadfile" seem to be "Load the given file and play it." so works fine
for starting playback here, gotta check it for previous versions, in
case it might be the cause for the issue, though log can probably clear
this out faster.

Wasn't the case before, but can definitely see this happening in
current version, missed it during testing.

Should be easy to fix though.


Thanks!
