@nille02,
After investigation we figured out main reason of the issue. As expected the main problem is AMD driver for older GPUs. It doesn't support feature levels 9.x which is required for video processing and hardware decoding. At the other side Kodi doesn't handle this situation and cannot create device. I've fixed this and you can try this build (pdb) but the main problem still persists. You are not be able to use DirectX Video processing and hardware decoding with current driver and DX11.
If you find a driver which supports feature levels 9.x (you can check this in DxDiag) please let us know.
