Dynamic Wallpapers settings menu is blank

SUMMARY
***
Starting a few weeks ago, the Dynamic Wallpapers plugin seems to be totally broken. I noticed this initially when my wallpaper displayed as just a black screen, and upon attempting to reset my dynamic wallpaper to see if it'd reload I noticed that the plugin itself is broken.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attempt to set a dynamic wallpaper
2. Observe that the menu for it is broken.

OBSERVED RESULT
The settings menu for the Dynamic Wallpapers plugin is broken (blank, there's no option to select a dynamic wallpaper), and the plugin itself seems broken as the previously set wallpaper failed to display upon the breaking of the plugin.

EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to configure and select a dynamic wallpaper.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Archlinux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am running the open source version of the Nvidia kernel module, though I imagine even if that broke displaying the actual wallpapers the settings menu for it would still function? This is on X11, I have not tested on Wayland given the state of affairs that still exists between Wayland and Nvidia's drivers.

Dynamic Wallpaper is a 3rd-party plugin; you'll have to take it up with the plugin's developers.
