I use the new Privacy block, which is a really nice addition, but at first I got an error from the v4l driver saying that the path /dev/v4l/by-id did not exist.
I found out that it's because I don't use a usb webcam, but virtual devices created with v4l2loopback connecting to android devices or a software.
By default, there is no udev rules to create a symlink in /dev/v4l/by-id for virtual devices and so the driver will not find them.
I suggest to add this information in the documentation.
On another hand, I didn't have issues to discover those webcams with most other software, so I think that reading /dev/v4l/by-id is not the most common technique for listing devices. Perhaps another method should be written for update_devices() function in v4l.rs.

As I use Scrcpy to connect my main webcam, I opened an issue with them for documentation.

But I followed this issue from v4l2loopback to create a custom one, and then it works fine.
