Hi everyone! Just deleted 2 syslogs which sized 83GB altogether. The problem still persists. Another things which I saw, after clearing the syslogs. The recursive loop does not only appear when we go to suspend mode with paused vlc or when switching users. For me, it created a bit more than 400 lines of code by just opening a movie with VLC and then pausing it to check what's happening in syslog. I think that's a big problem already, since I bought an ssd a year ago and the health already dropped to 98% from 100%. I don't leave my partition full all the time if anyone would wonder and I don't write / read a lot to it. So I can only imagine that these big chunks of reading/writing of codes did damage to the ssd's health.
I'm not going to risk it, I am changing vlc to something else. I will begin the hunt now. P.s: Rubo's workaround didn't work for me.

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.
