[Bug]: FFMPEG Error loading camera video #702

Description

What happened?

I'm able to get my cameras recognized and into the Home app, but they continue to show "No Response"/"This Camera is not Responding"

Any ideas on what may be necessary? I've made sure my Node version is v20.11.0.
Homebridge version is v1.10.0, will downgrade again, but received the same error before.

Plugin Version

v3.0.x (Best Effort)
