Please use the correct driver: https://github.com/intel/media-driver/blob/master/README.md#supported-platforms

And close this ticket, as this project is the legacy driver for the legacy HW.

I don’t quite understand your answer. JSL (Jasper Lake) is in the list of supported platforms on the link you provided. Which driver is then recommended for this platform?

I don’t quite understand your answer. JSL (Jasper Lake) is in the list of supported platforms on the link you provided.

For the intel-media driver. This project is intel-vaapi driver, a different, legacy VA-API backend for much older HW.

Which driver is then recommended for this platform?

Ah, thanks for pointing out to this. I’m closing this then as requested!
