This seem to be the problem - mpv doesn't accept "loadlist" command for
some reason.

Likely some change in new mpv version, as I think Arch-based Manjaro
should have very recent software, but can you check and paste
"mpv --version" output?

(I have 0.32.0 here and it seem to still work, so guess maybe yours is
newer than that)

I'll check for recent changes too, maybe update mpv here as well.
Probably easy to fix if it's some minor command/parameters tweak there.
