I've got a new Sv3C 8MP POE camera that I'm connecting to using ffmpeg as detected using ONVIF.
Source Type is ffmpeg
Function is Nodect (triggered by lower res profile on same camera)
Live viewing works fine. Viewing events presents me with a black image and the subject text. Downloading the video works views fine in VLC.
I've tried all combinations of VideoWriter (Encode Auto/Auto, Camera Passthrough). Optional encoder parameter is left at crf=23 (I think this was the default?)
Viewing events for other camera in my system works fine (both in Firefox and in Microsoft Edge).
Why am I giving all these details? It turns out the fault configuration was within the camera. With Encode mode set to H265 I get the error message. Setting Main Stream and Sub Stream (in Camera settings, in the web gui for the camera) to H264 I am now able to record and view events from this camera.

The file is h265, your browser can't play it. Choose mjpeg in the codec dropdown at top right. You can set the default for this in the Monitor Misc tab.
