Function fails and throws exception when I try to use Apple Secure Video

Describe The Problem:

Camera-FFMPEG was working fine with my six cameras for a few years, until I tried to use Apple Secure Video recording (when that became possible).

I enabled video recording on motion-detect for two of the cameras, and the home app accepted that without complaint. But no video is ever recorded, and now it throws the exception shown in the log below every time I start Homebridge.

To Reproduce:

Enable "Record When Motion Is Detected" on a camera in the home app. The setting is accepted, but no video is ever recorded.

Logs:
