passthru_write: Error while writing video frame: Invalid argument

I have both netcam_url and netcam_high_url specified while movie_passthrough is on.

It was observed in the log that

Sep 23 18:43:47 [INF][ENC][cl10:ch10] passthru_open: Pass-through stream opened

Also while writing files, there are

Not so sure what sort of argument is invalid. I haven't added any special arguments or any argument should be added too?

Previously I was on release 0.2.2. I just tried release 0.2.1 and get this message.

This has more details but not so sure if it's the same issue.

Right now I am using rtsp from a server. I have another application that takes from the same rtsp server and performing similar motion detection in parallel to motionplus for testing purpose. From my observation so far, the other application could produce motion videos that don't suffer the grey screen hiccups. The rtsp streams from the server could run through mpv without any hiccups.

I was using motion for quite awhile without this grey screen issue either. I guess there must be some non synchronization somewhere with respect to video and/or audio timing. I saw somewhere a discussion on dts and pts but have no idea what it really is.
