needs support in ffmpeg first, then it shouldn't be too hard to add to kodi.

And don't forget it's Skylake only! which is not yet released at all.

Are you sure?

Media - Libva/Intel-vaapi-driver
Libva 1.5.0 brings the following changes:

API: add support for HEVC decoding

API: extend JPEG encoding data structures and add configuration
attribute for JPEG encoding

Add support for HEVC decoding and JPEG encoding in VA trace utility

Fix out of tree builds

VA/X11: fix BadDrawable issue when calling vaTerminate() after the
pixmaps have been destroyed

Add a unit test for JPEG encoding

No words about Skylake

[wsnipex]

how should it work if the hardware doesn't support it? Broadwell and older doesn't

[fritsch]

@sunnyfunny: Yeah, read the code :-)

Edit: and this is libva only(!) - that's totally useless if the libva-driver-intel does not implement that. Which it does for skl only.
