not sure if you've been seeing this drama unfold, waiting for either intel or the kodi team to admit to being wrong (likely intel is wrong here)
Wow. I was not aware of this, but I've posted this bug on multiple sources and saw that people on kodi were reporting it the most. This may be it, tho. It's definitely not the Gen 11 AV1 decoding bug, which was caused by ffmpeg.
If the issue really is that it's an intel media driver bug, it would explain why it affects both kodi and other ffmpeg-based video players (eg. firefox, mpv, vlc).
Gen 11/12 aren't really that popular in today market and are usually powerful enough to do software decoding w/o the user noticing degraded performance so maybe that's the reason why it's underreported.

Hardware decoding works, output is normal
MPV h264 video with vaapi: log image
Falls back to software decoding
VLC h264 Video: log image
HW decoding working, green artifacts.
Firefox VP9 on Wayland: log image
HW decoding, green artifacts.
Firefox VP9 video on X11: log image
HW decoding, same green artifacts.
MPV AV1 video: log image
This shows another kind of artifaction and is a known issue with Rocket Lake chips. Currently being worked on in ffmpeg.
Although I'm currently running on Wayland, the issue is reproducible on Xorg as well as seen for firefox.
Apart from AV1, which seems like another issue, given the fact that mpv can properly decode and render using "vaapi-copy" makes me believe the green artifacts are a rendering bug, not decoding itself, but that's just my haunch.
Has anyone else experience this on gen 12 or otherwise when using Intel VAAPI?
