Viewing Camera Streams Crashes Homebridge

[mikeelmasry]

I have been using Homebridge and dgreif Ring plug in for over close to 2 years now. Big thank you to the developer of this plugin!

Recently, I noticed that the Ring cameras (Stick Up Cam and Video Doorbell Pro) cause Homebridge to crash whenever I try to view the live stream through Homekit. The thumbnail preview seems to work fine and all the cameras work fine in the Ring app. My guess is something changed on Ring's end in regards to codecs that is causing the problem.

Here is a capture of the Homebridge log when I try to initiate streaming of video from one of my Ring cameras:
