  Here's the problem: 

You have enabled auto-start so that when you restart the app, it uses your 
last device.  Furthermore, if you start using a device, it will no longer 
appear in the available devices list because it is in use.  This is in a 
sense a bug and we will fix it soon.

Your permissions on /dev/video* are all wrong if you can only see them as 
root.  Make sure you give your user id access to them.
