Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1961

I have media files under /home/debian-deluged/ with permissions debian-deluged:debian-deluged 770 and my user belongs to the group.

To get VLC working for those files under firejail 0.9.52, I had done:
% cat .config/firejail/vlc.profile

name vlc

# Disable inet,inet6 support
protocol unix,netlink

# Allow access /home/*
allusers

include /etc/firejail/vlc.profile
#apparmor

But after upgrading to 0.9.54 I'm getting Permission denied when trying to access videos under /home/debian-deluged/ and none of the --debug-* --noblacklist... etc. has helped. I was forced to downgrade back to .52.

Does it work when you run vlc as: firejail --noprofile --allusers vlc? If yes then look at /etc/firejail/vlc.profile and try disabling things one by one until you find out which causes this.

it does in fact work with --noprofile --allusers, so I did as you suggested and figured out that 'noroot' is causing it.

Then you may add ignore noroot line to .config/firejail/vlc.profile.
