I am using the nouveau driver on the geforce gt 210, and I followed the steps at nouveau.freedesktop.org of extracting the firmware from the nvidia binary driver to enable video acceleration. After that vainfo and vdpauinfo returns a list of codecs and apparently does not report any errors. But when I try to watch some video in vlc with vaapi or any other player, a bunch of green artifacts appear on the video and the system freezes making me have to pull the computer from the outlet in order to shut down. And using vlc with vdpau the video runs for a while but the screen starts to stutter and the system freezes too. Can someone please help?
Nouveau video acceleration not working properly and freezing the system
This may help you indirectly.

You can also hold the power button for 10 seconds, which will reboot the computer.
Neither of those answers your question but is better than yanking a plug. I don't know anything about video acceleration (I'm not a gamer, or anything like that), so I can't help with that.
But, you can use the first one to gracefully reboot the system (unless it's too frozen, it's possible to be so frozen that REISUB doesn't work).

The magic SysRq key can help you deal with a frozen and unresponsive system. It avoids doing a hard reboot and the potential loss of data.

Which driver version is being run? For example, this machine runs a 210 as well, and has also extracted the nvidia binary driver:
Here's the card info:

I am having the same problem here but with a Geforce GT 520, i also followed the steps to enable hardware acceleration but every time I try using vaapi it gives me this error with mpv:
I dont remember when this started happening, a couple of months before every time i tried using vaapi I was getting the same error as OP, the geen artifacts and glitches.
This is all the info i have:

Then you should start your own thread to avoid disrupting this one.
