HTTP Stream No Longer Rendering

I've been using the following command to convert a CCTV feed and embed it in a web page, for many months:

cvlc -v rtsp://10.35.145.2:7447/acb7oSAPT1uIimkN --sout '#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=800,scale=Auto,acodec=none,scode$,scodec=none}:http{mux=ogg,dst=:8082/}'

I've recently noticed that the video is no longer rendering in Chrome (also tried Opera, Edge & Firefox with no luck). But it still displays if I ask VLC player to open the network stream from http://10.35.144.108:8082

The VLC version doing the conversion is "VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7)" The Linux server running the conversion is rebooted every night to keep things fresh and a CRON job restarts the conversion stream at boot time.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this has stopped working after almost a year of faultless service, and how I can get the embedded feed to display again please?

Either you updated some piece of software, or the upstream has changed some parametes that still somehow reflect after transcoding.

You're not giving much to infer what the problem would be.
