Getting the error stdapi_webcam_start: Operation failed: 731 when trying to stream from my Logitech C920 webcam in Meterpreter

I'm trying to use the webcam_stream command in Meterpreter, and I receive the following error:

meterpreter > webcam_stream
[*] Starting...
[*] Preparing player...
[*] Opening player at: /home/kali/PlvufTqJ.html
[*] Streaming...
[-] stdapi_webcam_start: Operation failed: 731
meterpreter >

Could this be some kind of block on the Logitech C920 webcam?

I've checked the following:

Permissions: Ensured that the user running Meterpreter has permissions to access the webcam.

Webcam is recognized by the system (lsusb and dmesg show the device correctly). The webcam works fine with other applications (like cheese). Tried restarting the service and tested with webcam_list and webcam_snap, but still no luck.

What else could be causing this error, and how can I resolve it?
