Currently, MPV propagates most of its inputs, which is not correct.
When MPV tries to propagate a different version of a dependency (like
ffmpeg) that is a different version what is currently installed, Guix
operations will fail.
The source code in video.scm says that the inputs are propagated so
pkg-config will work, but that is not a valid reason. The pkg-config
file should be patched so that pkg-config will work without unnecessary
propagated-inputs.

Maybe we could have a mpv package that doesn't propagate anything, and a libmpv
that does, if there are any users (other packages) of mpv as a library?

There was already some discussion about that here:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68250
It seems like once the pkgconf stuff is merged, mpv can be built as a
shared library, move the propagated-inputs to inputs, and meson will
output the correct pkg-config file without breaking downstream
dependencies. Not sure though.
