Additional context

user functions dont work in shell scripts (shell scripts can't use user aliases either)

i'd create a file in your $PATH called mpv that just does exactly what your function does, and give it execute permissions.

Something that might be related...
I have installed mpv in NixOS using home-manager, and have specified a couple of scripts to be installed as well. Running mpv from the commandline works fine, and the scripts are working as well. However, when mpv is called from ytfzf, it runs ok but the scripts are not running.

A possible solution for NixOS

I already filed this a while ago: #700
This also describes a solution to this which I found perfectly acceptable.
