Intel VAAPI howto with Leia v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server
I always followed this guide when setting up my Kodi box, but as of Ubuntu 21.10 and Kodi 19.0 many of the original instructions (and the additional comments in #5071) are no longer needed, as the graphics subsystem seems to be set up correctly without too much fiddling around. Only full range color has to be enabled. (I did not deal with automount permissions etc., as I handle this otherweise.)

For those still reading this thread, I had success with the following systemd unit (also for GBM):

(Obviously, the user Kodi has to be in the right groups, which nowadays contains also "render".)
