High CPU usage with Kodi

Graphics hardware in use

Intel UHD Graphics (24) @ 1.10 GHz [Integrated]

Frequency

Always

Bug description

I noticed CPU usage of >80% when playing streaming videos with Kodi.

This is caused by the lack of graphics acceleration support (VAAPI). The video is handled directly by the CPU (LLVMPIPE).

I don't think this is due to the player because I haven't seen a similar issue on the subject in its repo.

I haven't tested other apps, but it may be the same. Let me know if I should test others?

Steps to reproduce

• Enable Wayland session
• Play a video with Kodi

Expected behavior

Proper graphics acceleration support.
