dvb-t2 signal from tv-hat using mpv play only audio if i try --hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy i have to set --hwdec=no while 5.12 is fine .
The linux-rpi4-mainline and linux-rpi4-rc kernels was broke @2 months ago. They have just now made it back in our repo; but it still is a Work In Progress. I would suggest trying the linux-rpi4 kernel.
linux-rpi4
same problem no video on mpv only audio.
archlinux 5.12.0-rc8-1-MANJARO-ARM
is fine.
Not sure why you want to use --hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy with mpv or what has changed why you can not have it on your command line. If you are trying to get gpu hw decoding the only way I know of on the pi4 using a 64bit OS is with a special compiled kodi/player compiled with a special ffmpeg that uses V4L. It will do h.264 and h.265 HW decoding but will never do mpeg2 as the onboard chip is not capable of it.
I played a .mp4 with --hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy and with out and all it did was fallback to SW rendering with no difference with cpu usage.
On 32 bit os one could compile and install ffmpeg-mmal and mpv-rpi from AUR and mpv detects HW decoding automatically. This is not an option on a 64bit Os because of proprietary libs. You need to have a player capable of accessing the chip either like omxplayer which accesses at a lower level or one that will access at a higher level with MMAL.
I have used kodi with tvheadend as a backend in the past to get HW decoding with my satellite system but I have not tried it with the new kodi-rpi package to see how it does. I’m more into iptv these days.

When v4l2m2m-copy is on watching dvb-t2, with mpv, CPU is 80%, when hwdec=no CPU is 135% using hat-tv when video is h264 bitrate 6000kbps (sway wayland with Xwayland)
I have used kodi with tvheadend as a backend in the past to get HW decoding with my satellite system but I have not tried it with the new kodi-rpi package to see how it does. I’m more into iptv these days.
can i watch on kodi in screen 1 and browse on screen 2 at same time?
As what you’re trying to do currently is not possible,
you should currently just live with high CPU usage until upstream has fixed the issue.
Therefore, I’ve marked this answer as the solution to your question as it is by far the best answer you’ll get.
However, if you disagree with my choice, please feel free to take any other answer as the solution to your question or even remove the solution altogether: You are in control! (If you disagree with my choice, just send me a personal message and explain why I shouldn’t have done this or 
or 
if you agree)
P.S. In the future, please don’t forget to come back to your question after your issue has been solved and click the 3 dots below the answer to mark a solution like this below the answer that helped you most:
so that the next person that has the exact same problem you just had will benefit from your post as well as your question will now be in the “solved” status.
No. The kodi-rpi packages in the repo were not made to run in a DE; it boots up in it’s own environment straight in to kodi when properly set up. Some have run it in the past in a DE but you loose HW decoding.
[Solved] linux-rpi4-udl is now on repo and run with hwdec=v4l2m2m-copy.

Great! It had been in the repo and accidentally got deleted. I put it back a couple of days ago. I had it there in the first place because I have some extra opensource dvb/atsc/dvbt modules compiled in it that are not provided by upstream. It will also do Spectrum / Blindscan on satellites and terrestrial devices.
There is also a custom companion program called updateDVB that does the before mentioned tasks and from it you can launch mpv to play the stream. You can edit the mpv command line in the Settings. I have no clue if updatedvb will be compatible with your device but you can test and see.
I maintain these specially patched kernels for the pi’s and x86 on my gitlab for a satellite forum I am active in. There also is some extra firmware in the repo but I forgot the name of the package.
I froze it at this version as a backup because after that is where the rpi kernels starting having issues and it has everything the forum kernel does + the extra modules patched in.

Ah, it’s the UDL specific kernel from @Darksky . He might have a better idea what’s going on.
But make sure your system is completely up to date.
I have no clue why wayland would be broke. The kernel is the same, just has more dvb modules enabled.
I still think it could be because the system did not get completely updated, making it a mix of 5.87 and 5.88 frameworks packages.
to downgrade kwayland and kwindowsystem is not enough i have to downgrade others packages to run sway from .bash_profile, after installing latest
linux-rpi4-rc Version : 5.15.rc7-1 (but there is the same problem
with Linux archlinux 5.12.0-rc8-1-MANJARO-ARM and linux-rpi4-udl)
, display manager is not installed, autologin is non graphic and sway start (.bash_profile), in pi4 2G and pi4 4G is the same.
