Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3363

mpv video player launched from dolphin by clicking on video file will not start (will not appear on screen at all) unless lua is enabled in dolphin.profile.
Looks like some kind of lua repl for mpv input commands was introduced in mpv v0.31.0 released at the end of December 2019.
Prior to that playing videos in mpv launched from dolphin with click on the video file used to work without problems.

Solution
enabling lua interpreters with include allow-lua.inc in dolphin.profile

Desktop

Arch Linux
Firejail version 0.9.63 (AUR pkg firejail-git, r6095.cde87023-1)

Hi, thank you for reporting this issue. As it happens, I was looking into reworking all our file manager profiles to avoid issues like yours. It doesn't make much sense to block access to commonly used interpreters (like Lua, Perl, Python, ...) for that category of applications. I'll add a fix in the dolphin profile.

@glitsj16 would you think removing disable-interpreters.inc makes more sense. With the current dolphin profile you can't start programs written in python, perl, ...

@rusty-snake Agreed. That's why I just opened #3365.
