Extend Camera Stream #136

Open ellisonpatterson opened 9 months ago

ellisonpatterson commented 9 months ago

I was looking at the device access API, and saw that you can indeed extend the feeds lifetime (wired) with this call: https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/api/camera-wired#extend_a_live_stream

Couldn't a timer just be created to call that every few minutes and stop the timer when the stream ends? Even says its ignored for battery-powered devices so you wouldn't have to check if its wired or not.

What do you think?

Thank you!

@ellisonpatterson: Yup that's something I'll have to get around to doing one day.

Unfortunately the generation 1 cameras have a different mechanism which seems to be broken: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68433468/how-to-properly-use-the-extendrtspstream-command-in-googles-nest-device-acces
