LightBurn quits upon selecting virtual camera in macOS

I have a virtual camera running on macOS (streams a still image), and can see the feed fine in FaceTime and PhotoBooth. However when I select the camera in LightBurn, it causes the program to quit almost instantly. The camera is based on a CoreMedia I/O extension (Creating a camera extension with Core Media I/O | Apple Developer Documentation).

Perhaps there are specific resolution, frame rate or other requirements on the camera stream, where if these requirements are not met, the preview stream can’t be started and LightBurn quits?

Any insight into this would be appreciated. I attached the LightBurnLog.txt file. Happy holidays :smiley:
