A few months ago RKL Gen12 (Xe) iGPUs suffered from the same problem - see here.

As of writing this post the only solution to get HW accelerated decoding in kodi is by disabling the e2e compression for ADL-S in the intel-media-driver and compiling it with the changes made.

Code:

--- intel-media-driver-22.1.1.orig/media_driver/linux/gen12/ddi/media_sku_wa_g12.cpp
+++ intel-media-driver-22.1.1/media_driver/linux/gen12/ddi/media_sku_wa_g12.cpp
