Ok... well that sucks.
But then one could of course think on the following (being a developer myself):
1) detect the CPU (Kodi does this, "Host CPU: Intel® Celeron® CPU N3150 @ 1.60GHz...")
2) do some default presets, especially if these are very much underpowered CPU's like this one which definitely needs VAAPI BOB to actually work.
Of course this list would in theory be huge. But then it's maybe not actually required so much, just for underpowered CPU's that need some good defaults.
This is the first time after 4 different boards where in several years after using XBMC/Kodi I couldn't quickly figure out what the problem is and the issue occured "immediately".
Checking the forum to see what to do is a bit challenging I think (many threads maybe etc...). A wiki page would help, but even that is not super user friendly. "Install, use", that's how I perceive Kodi and I LOVE THAT about it!
