Ok It seems that You can't really do much about it.

removable-media read/write files on removable storage devices Storage no*

no means auto-connect is not possible for removable-media. So this snap can't give this functionality out of the box. Maybe something is possible I don't know really.
You should explain this in app description.

running: "snap connect mpv:removable-media :removable-media" will fix the problem.

Hey there yes by default the snap doesn't have access to external storage devices and if needed it can be achieved by your mentioned method of connecting needed slots.

I will consider seeking auto-connect at-least for removable media plug.
