The problem was perhaps that one of those BBC urls were added as a
streamlist initially, and that was saved in the cache. Therefore no
matter how you tried to add the same url later on, it would always be
added as a streamlist because of the cache (which didn't work with mpv)
and not a url (which did).

We can test this by you removing the offending entries from the cache,
by evaluating the following:

    (progn
      (emms-cache-del "https://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_radio_one";)
      (emms-cache-del "http://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_radio_one";))

Then using emms-add-url to re-add both of them and see if they just
work.
