try vd-lavc-dr=no in your mpv.conf or just as a switch.
it solves the issue for me. (credit: CounterPillow over at #mpv irc.libera.chat)

[with vd-lavc-dr=yes (default)]

       --vd-lavc-dr=<yes|no>
              Enable direct rendering (default: yes). If this is set to yes,  the  video
              will  be  decoded directly to GPU video memory (or staging buffers).  This
              can speed up video upload, and may help with  large  resolutions  or  slow
              hardware. This works only with the following VOs:

                 • gpu: requires at least OpenGL 4.4 or Vulkan.

                 • libmpv: The libmpv render API has optional support.

              Using  video  filters  of any kind that write to the image data (or output
              newly allocated frames) will silently disable the DR code path.
