This message appears in the /usr/bin/mpv binary. And it means that the
version of the shared library libavcodec.so.62 (packaged as
libavcodec62, not 59 of course) installed on your system is slightly
older than the version that was installed when mpv was built.

To solve the issue, you need to start with two checks:

1. Check exactly what version of mpv and libavcodec62 are installed on
your system. While you are at it, check all the ffmpeg libraries.
dpkg -l can give you the info in one go, and apt-cache policy can let
you check for newer versions.

2. Check that mpv is really using the packaged versions and not another
copy of the shared libraries installed somewhere. ldd on the mpv binary
can tell you that; strace to run mpv lets you double check.

If that is not enough for you to fix by yourself, you can show your
findings of course.
