NOTE: If you follow the instructions precisely, you will succeed. However, if you need assistance do not hesitate to contact us.
The Google Commercial Development review process turns out to be impossibly expensive, so until that changes, these instructions are here to guide you through the steps necessary to add your Google Nest cameras to Streamie.
Many moons ago, Streamie dropped support for the old Nest accounts. Supporting that involved “scraping” the html in a hidden web view to find the rtsp url. That mostly worked on iPhones and iPads, but there as no way to port that functionality to Apple TV. So, the first requirement is that you have migrated your Nest account to Google.
These instructions are partly based off the Home Assistant Nest instructions, if you want to see some screenshots and such.
We also cover some of the setup process in a tutorial video, which you can watch here:
And there are some screenshots at the bottom of this article that should help in case you run into any questions.
