Video playback fails when access control is active

[kruthoff]

Steps to reproduce

See https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/2467

Configure access control, like so: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/25/admin_manual/file_workflows/access_control.html#denying-access-to-folders

A video within such a folder doesn't play anymore since the new vlc player. The video plays fine from web browser.

Expected behaviour

Play video.

Actual behaviour

Access error in vlc.

Screenshots

See #2467

Logs

Unfortunately, nothing is logged.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

File access control is a core feature of Nextcloud server.

Any update or idea how to get this resolved? I‘m on Debian 12, iOS 17, Nextcloud 27.1.2, Nextcloud iOS 4.9.1 in the meantime. And the issue remained.
