Firejail: vlc: why is $(DOCUMENTS) blacklisted?
Any media in the documents folder is not even browsable?

Generally speaking, we thought it was better to not allow access to documents.
You can change this pretty easily though -- just make a file /etc/firejail/vlc.local with the following line:
noblacklist ${DOCUMENTS}
After saving the file and restarting vlc, you should be able to access any media in your documents folder.
