I can't see anything particularly wrong in the log unfortunately. Since
the issue affects seemingly all videos, it's probably a bug in the video
output code somewhere.

Can you try other vo modes (Use --vo=help for a list of them)? In
particular could you try --vo=x11 which is not hardware accelerated.
Can you try playing the files in other players (eg ffmpeg, vlc, etc)?
Do older versions of mpv work? If so, we could bisect the issue.

If you want, you could try compiling upstream mpv. If you can reproduce
your issue there, then you could file an upstream issue.

Thanks,
James
