Slow playing MP4 with MPV on Trisquel 10
Fresh install of 10 (rather than upgrade) and having problems playing MP4 with mpv (and maybe others Ive not come across). The sound plays fine but the video seems to be at half speed. VLC works fine, but would rather use MPV.
Does anyone have any ideas please?

Does it happen with a specific file, or with any MP4 you have been trying to play in mpv?
In any case, you may want to have a look at the two options referenced there:

It happens with with only some MP4 videos.
I'll have a look at the link - thanks!
Is it the resolution? My thinkpad has trouble loading high resolution videos because the CPU is too weak to handle them. That might be the problem. You could also try increasing the speed of mpv playback by pressing the ']', or '}' key. If resolution is the problem then you could scale the video down with ffmpeg.
