Still present in the nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 package, sigh.
To reproduce, it's still as simple as "Start playing a video with VLC in
user #1, switch to user #2 for a couple of seconds, switch back to user
#2 to see a black screen in VLC and hundreds of megabytes of error
messages in the logs". It still doesn't happen with VLC in a PC with an
AMD card doing the graphics acceleration.

Title:
Having a video playing/paused when switched to another user generates
gigabytes of error logs
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-418 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 package in Ubuntu:

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
To replicate:
1. Start a video playing, for example in vlc. 'avcodec decoder: Using
NVIDIA VDPAU Driver Shared Library 418.56 Fri Mar 15 12:31:51 CDT
2019 for hardware decoding'
2. Optionally pause it.
3. Switch to another user.
The original user's ~/.xsession-errors will rapidly fill up with
errors along the lines of "vdpau_chroma filter error".
At the same time, errors are put in /var/log/syslog as well:
[00007f9d604810a0] vdpau_chroma filter error: video mixer features failure:
An invalid handle value was provided.
[00007f9d604810a0] vdpau_chroma filter error: video mixer attributes failure:
An invalid handle value was provided.
[00007f9d604810a0] vdpau_chroma filter error: video mixer rendering failure:
An invalid handle value was provided.
(repeat ad nauseum)
At least one of the two will rapidly fill up its partition and
problems will arise.
With AMD video hardware and driver, the video continues playing - you
can hear the sound despite being in the other user.
