Bob's lab uses the multimedia widget which is unavailable in slim version
of jqt, note the suffix s in the line of Qt IDE of JVERSION. The reason is
that AIO install of j805 provides the slim version whereas j804 provided
the regular version of QtIDE. You need to install the regular version in
order to use some widgets such as webview and multimedia.

In addition, multimedia widget needs to install extra codec in order to
play video on windows platform.

@Bob, you may detect the qtide version using wd'qversion' or JVERSION, and
provide appropriate instructions to users who are running the slim version
or missing codec on windows platforms.

Qt multimedia widget on linux depends on old toolchain and has problems in
video.
