Upstream is at least https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/releases/tag/intel-mediasdk-20.3.0 , in tree 18.4.1, unmaintained within two years. Need ether bump or delete package. Reproducible: Always
Why should we delete version 18? Did you try it? Is the version 18 not usable any more?
Latest versions supports much more hardware.
Furthermore, since 20.1.1 I was able to build ffmpeg with Intel QSV support
Thank you for the heads up. The ebuild is in the tree now.
