The plugin does nothing

Summary

plugin version: 1.7.3
PeerTube version: 4.2.2

What is the current bug behavior?

Installing the plugin through the admin interface has an error and message in the logs:

At the same time, it is listed as successfully installed in the list of installed plugins, but does not have any settings on the appropriate button:

Updating an existing video to invoke the plugin does nothing.

Installation through the command line always seems to succeed, but the effects are the same (error in the logs, lack of settings, failure to work after editing video).

What is the expected correct behavior?

Installation without errors, the availability of plugin settings and video processing after editing it.

The log reports that I have the wrong version of the node, but:

# node -v 
v17.9.1

# nvm current
v17.9.1

If use the format of the plugin installation command from the PeerTube documentation, not the plugin README:

# sudo -u peertube NODE_ENV=production NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config npm run plugin:install -- --npm-name peertube-plugin-transcription

> peertube@4.2.2 plugin:install
> node ./dist/scripts/plugin/install.js "--npm-name" "peertube-plugin-transcription"

I don't have the JS and Node skills to suggest possible solutions.
