Looks good here:

  $ mpv --version
  mpv 0.6.2 (C) 2000-2014 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects
   built on 2014-10-25T13:21:01
  libav library versions:
     libavutil       54.3.0
     libavcodec      56.1.0
     libavformat     56.1.0
     libswscale      3.0.0
     libavfilter     5.0.0
     libavresample   2.1.0

This is not the Debian package... on 2014-08-15 0.6.2 wasn't even released yet
and the 88f247cf git commit is the one that created the 0.5.0 release. Also, the
Debian package isn't built directly from git so it doesn't get the -git-xxxxxxx
suffix in the version number.

Maybe the mpv executable you are using isn't the one from the Debian package
(e.g. if you rebuilt mpv from the upstream git repository and changed $PATH to
point to it, then forgot about it). What does the "which mpv" command say?

Cheers
