Kodi 19.5 ff-h264 only software mode

I am having problems watching any movie on my new debian 11 install under Kodi 19.1 and 19.5.
Pressing o says my Video Decoder: ff-h264 (SW). I tried to install everything what i tought can help ffmpeg gstreamer uggly and bad plugin every codec from repository but its not helping.

My user is a member of the groups what is needed for video playing i looked it up on Kodis website.

I have another machine with exact same hardware which does hardware x264 under Kodi 19.1 the only difference that machine runs on Debian 10.

What could possibly be the problem?

Re: Kodi 19.5 ff-h264 only software mode

I tried i965-va-driver-shaders driver removing intel-media-va-driver.
Many other things from here:
https://wiki.debian.org/HardwareVideoAcceleration

I dont know i dont want to downgrade just for this.
Anyone have ideas?
