Reproduction steps
Loop the webm file from Sample files in mpv.

Actual behavior
mpv flashes the last frame or skips it entirely instead of showing it for a frame duration.

Research direction
Reproduce the loop using the linked sample webm and inspect log.txt alongside the reported mpv version and platform details. Trace the playback behavior at end-of-stream and loop restart; done means the final frame remains visible for one frame duration on each loop.
