mpv constant lockups

For the past maybe 2 months, I've been having issues with mpv causing the whole system to freeze for several seconds. Usually upon exit but sometimes in between or during videos. I had hoped it was just a bug that would have been worked out by now. My guess is it's something to do with Nvidia drivers or Wayland.

There is no system but GNU and Linux is one of its kernels.

What "wayland"?
Is this a hybrid graphics system?
Do you get any errors in the system journal?
Does "mpv --gpu-context=x11" cause the same, resp. do you get the same on an X11 session?
