Flatpak kodi can't use hardware acceleration (...from Debian can)

I suspect the issue here is that kodi flatpak recently updated its platform runtime from 24.08 to 25.08, and in doing so the legacy intel-vaapi-driver was dropped, leaving only intel-media-driver support: Remove intel-vaapi-driver (8b3b68e3) · Commits · freedesktop-sdk / freedesktop-sdk · GitLab
This might mean that Braswell and other older/niche cpus no longer benefit from intel’s driver support.
