Ooops,

Missed Kodi's logs :

By the way, VAAPI seems to work fine when using VLC with the same video on the
same computer.

I tried using gnome on xorg instead of wayland and the problem is the same.

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
After debian stretch to buster migration, the CPU usage in Kodi is very high
when playing video content (1080p H264).

When looking kodi's log

 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
