I'd forgotten that my installation also briefly had deb-multimedia active. Thought I had successfully purged all that cruft; guess I hadn't. :8
EDIT: I was hoping that purging ffmpeg, libav-tools, and mpv and reinstalling mpv from jessie would fix things, but it's still bad.
Oh well, a clean reinstall is good for the soul.

Is it time to drop that "deb-multimedia" page from bl-welcome?

^ I think we should. It's true that deb-multimedia has newer packages than backports or unstable, but IMHO newer just means "not as thoroughly vetted". As far as I can recall, it contains acroread and its version of ffmpeg allows youtube-dl to remux highest-quality video and audio without rewrapping in a mkv; neither of these IMHO is a good enough reason/excuse to include it even as a heavily-disclaimered option.

OK, along with some heavy trimming of the flash options, it looks as if a new version of bl-welcome is needed soonish.

One million and One!
As I said before I use the default mpv from Debian Stable repos and find it works perfectly.

deb-multimedia in it's day was almost a necessity if you used lame and for keeping up with gstreamer. I remember when I could stop compiling sox with --lame support because debian-multimedia did it, a very happy day.
It just causes headaches for support these days. I would not call it a FrankenDebian, but if someone wants it, the debmultimedia page will guide them seamlessly to it's addition.

Why not:
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mpv
comment out deb-multimedia from your sources list and then:
sudo apt-get install mpv
from debian repos?
It did not work, but it was a step in the right direction! After commenting out the deb-multimedia repo I used aptitude, which did care of the packages that came from the repo (thanks to HoaS who told me about aptitude while taking care of a cairo-dock issue!). It also removed vlc and some other things. Anyway in the end I installed mpv via synaptic and it works now. What I've been wondering about is that I was searching for the "mpv" package via aptitude and it did not find it. This is why I used synaptic in the end. Btw mpv is just great, I prefer it to vlc.

Yes, that's correct, it works the same way here. What I meant was: I used "aptitude -u" and there is the feature "package/search". Somehow I did not find the mpv-package that way, but I may have overlooked it.
Btw after removing the multimedia repository vlc was removed as well and now it won't install because of unmet dependencies. The truth is that I do not miss it as long as mpv works. It feels much quicker and smoother - simple and brilliant.

Finally: After the last upgrade it seems that the former dependency problems have gone. The multimedia repo caused some issues, but now both players vlc and mpv could be installed. Nice!

I saw when backporting mpv 0.20* that Debian had disabled that error message, because it seems it was just added by the mpv developers in sort of a fit of pique, and that mpv will usually work just fine on another version of the ffmpeg libraries.
* Here, if anyone is interested. This repo doesn't break stuff like DMO.
