Failed to load driver: vboxvideo when using MPV player

I am using Arch Linux guest on my Mac OSX host machine. I am attempting to use MPV player however I get the error that ' failed to load driver: vboxvideo'. I have installed/loaded the guest utils according to the Arch wiki so everything should be running.

I am on Vbox 5.0.2. Any ideas on how to address this issue?

Run glxinfo | grep OpenGL in a guests terminal and post the results here. Also post the guests log file ( as an attachment )
