Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/904

On Debian Jessie, using latest package versions:
vlc 2.2.4-1~deb8u1
firejail 0.9.44-1~bpo8+1
and KDE 4 Plasma Desktop

VLC instantly segfaults when you press Ctrl+O (Media -> Open File...)

Any message in the journal?
Using journalctl -f while running firejail --tracelog vlc and pressing Crtl+O might give a hint

I suspect the respective grafic framework used by your vlc needs additional files whitelistet.

This is kind of ugly. It is looking for a video capture card or a video camera, and it needs "protocol netlink" to be enabled. I put a fix in, thanks.
