Video options should be moved into a common settings dialog, most camera paths are not going to change. This will help also when / if we have support for multi preview streams
Not sure a pause/ play button is needed here. I don't forsee pausing the stream And we can use the finishedEditing () signal to do the connect / disconnect for the device.
Future thoughts: My machine has several cameras. Can this be modified to allow for more then one video widget?

Nothing shows up in the media widget other then a black frame.
Tested with mjpeg streamer (http stream) and the internal web cam of my laptop (v4l2:///dev/video0) both result in no frames being shown .The light on my camera turns on so the device does seam to get opened.
No errors are shown in the app output or in the application
App log has only one load output
QGridLayout: Multi-cell fromRow greater than toRow
and two when changing tabs from video to gcode editor.
QWidget::paintEngine: Should no longer be called
Update::
I have tested also with the video widget qtmultimedia test widget and get the same behavior.
I found the issue. QMultimedia has a problem with PRIME/BUMBLEBEE Laptops with the gstreamer-vaapi parts . So if you have one of these devices remove the vaapi package for gstreamer and it will work.
