Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3628

Bug and expected behavior

Describe the bug. Pasting a youtube link through a keyboard shorcut in MPV doesn't open the video. The keyboard shortcut was configured by a Lua user script.
What did you expect to happen? To have the shortcut work and be able to watch the video

No profile or disabling firejail

What changed calling firejail --noprofile PROGRAM in a shell? It works

Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1- sudo firecfg
2- Install user script "SmartCopyPaste_2_2 "https://github.com/Eisa01/mpv-scripts#smartcopypaste-ii-script"
3- Open MPV
4- Copy paste a youtube link into MPV with a keyboard shortcut
5. See error [SmartCopyPaste_2_2] Lua error: /home/user/.config/mpv/scripts/SmartCopyPaste-2.2.lua:73: xclip -selection clipboard -o: Cannot allocate memory

Environment

Linux distribution and version : Manjaro Linux 20.1
Firejail version (output of firejail --version) exclusive or used git commit (git rev-parse HEAD) : firejail version 0.9.62.4
What other programs interact with the affected program for the functionality? SmartCopyPaste_2_2 user script
Are these listed in the profile? I've tried to whitelist the script folder but mpv couldn't be launched anymore

Additional context
Other context about the problem like related errors to understand the problem.

Checklist

The upstream profile (and redirect profile if exists) have no changes fixing it.
The upstream profile exists (find / -name 'firejail' 2>/dev/null/fd firejail to locate profiles ie in /usr/local/etc/firejail/PROGRAM.profile)
Programs needed for interaction are listed.
Error was checked in search engine and on issue list without success.

Thank you very much for all your work !

Programs needed for interaction are listed.

Likely not, the error message says something about xclip, which is not in mpv's private-bin.

Can you try firejail --private-bin=xclip mpv ....

Thank you for the quick answer !

I've tried to launch mpv through the command you gave me and still gives the same error.
Adding xclip in the config file didn't help either.

Ok, played a bit with it. Seems like lua always uses a shell.
firejail '--noblacklist=${PATH}/sh' --private-bin=xclip,sh mpv …
