I can't reproduce this (as it happens, I have both youtube-viewer 
and mpv installed in my regular profile):

============================ Terminal Time 
=============================
~ λ grep video_player_selected 
.config/youtube-viewer/youtube-viewer.conf
 video_player_selected => "mpv",
~ λ youtube-viewer

Are both youtube-viewer and mpv installed to the same profile? 
Which profile is that?  Could you try the command

 guix environment --pure --ad-hoc youtube-viewer mpv -- 
 youtube-viewer

to see if removing any possible sources of confusion helps?  (That 
command also works for me, but I don't *need* it.)

I'm also a bit confused by your phrasing, ‘under preferences…’ and 
‘…click play’.  For me, youtube-viewer is a CLI tool and I've 
always used it as such.  Are you saying there's a gooey?

Kind regards,
