You tagged the bug "upstream". This tag usually means that the bug is
known to be in upstream mpv. How do you know this?

Does ffmpeg's v4l2 support work better?
 mpv -v av://v4l2:/dev/video0

I should point out that all the code for tv:// has been removed in
upstream mpv, so if this is a bug in mpv, it is unlikely to be fixed
(upstream now tells you to use the av:// form above).

I don't know what "imager" and "dalton" mean. Do they have identical
versions of mpv and identical kernels (probably the 2 most important
bits here)?

Please recreate the transcripts with the -v option to get more verbosity.

Testing with newer kernels and mpv versions would be helpful, but this
might be a bit harder.

Does your webcam actually play in mpv? Is it just the log messages that
bother you?

Thanks,
