Hi!
As the title states, there is no hw accleration of mpeg2 content on AMD GPUs, even though it's supported by the GPU silicon. For newer (RX7000+) chips, it does not matter as they do not support hw decoding mpeg2 (and vc-1) content, but for older generations? (in my case, Vega 8 and RX6600)
Is there a reason why it's disabled/missing in the Mesa package.mk?

I compiled myself an LE version with mpeg2 enabled and it works fine...

There's no reason that I'm aware of, although for context I haven't paid much attention to x86_64 matters for about a decade. You are welcome to send a pull request. We'll leave it open for a bit and see what comments it attracts.
Maybe https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/7280 is not needed anymore. What happens if you revert it rather than add mpeg2?
In any case, vaapi-mpeg2 is problematic on AMD, image quality-wise. At least that's how it was a few years ago but I don't think anything changed.
