Comment:

 Sorry, this is not something you or I could fix.

 The situation goes like that: `mpv` is only supported on 10.8 or higher. I
 have written a patchset to make it work (hardly) on at least 10.7 and 10.6
 (maybe even 10.5 - haven't tested that far back.)

 The obvious caveat is that for some reason the video output fails to
 initialize properly and nothing will play via the Cocoa backend. The OS
 X-internal libraries spit out something like "invalid pixel format", but I
 have no idea how to fix that.

 There is a workaround, though. If you can live with video playback via
 X11, consider using the +x11 variant. It should be enabled by default.

 Try executing mpv as such:

 {{{
 mpv -vo=opengl:backend=x11 file
 }}}

 This should give you video playback over X11 with OpenGL. It's
 inconvenient, I know, but so are most workarounds...
