Apologies for taking forever to get to this; travelling.

At first glance it looks like the culprit would be that the function
`emms-player-mpv-playable-p' in `emms-player-mpv.el' matches the track
type to '(file url streamlist playlist). This precedes the regexp
matching.

What would happen if you redefined it to this (of course you'd have to
do this after `emms-player-mpv.el' has been evaluated.):

(defun emms-player-mpv-playable-p (track)
  (memq (emms-track-type track)
        '(streamlist)))
