Machine: Pulse 15 Gen 3
OS: Arch
Tuxedo control center version: 2.1.5

When accessing webcam settings I sometimes receive an "access error" that cannot be closed and re-opens itself a few times a second until the entire UI is inaccessible.

This error will keep opening and there is no way of closing it without closing the control center entirely.

If the Webcam is taken by another application, the TCC can't get control of it. Please check if there is something else running.

This error happened because IR showed multiple pixel formats instead of just GREY and a second path got recognized as a rgb webcam because of this.

pixel_formats:  ['GREY', 'MJPG']

IR did not have settings which could get applied and tcc tried to apply nothing. Deduplication of video paths per device id and a check to not apply nothing was added.

In this case it was not webcam access from another application. Issue was fixed in 2.1.6.
