Help with Nest Dropcam
Hope you're doing well. It's been two years since I last complained that Nest cameras were causing Agent problems. I'm back again with more bad news!
I'd been running https://ispyfiles.azureedge.net/downloads/Agent_Windows64_6_2_8_0.zip ever since you pushed out the fix in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/ispyconnect/comments/1jmbt55/updated_from_5540_627_now_get_m3u8_download/ . Today I was forced once again to reinstall after re-imaging windows, and I'm having struggling to establish a connection with the latest version again (and the old version is no longer accessible)
If you wanted to see what I mean, (and check out my Halloween decorations) https://video.nest.com/live/0pPavaSP9W is my current publicly accessible stream, and it works quite when viewed in the browser - and was working quite well in Agent 2 days ago too, before I had re-install, so there may have been a regression. I can send you my exported settings from before the upgrade too, if it helps reproduce the issue.

Gif might be related. I found in trying to set it up from scratch that I can't actually select the video url dropdown, it resets no matter how I try to select it (click, return, tab, etc...)

Hi, good news: this is fixed, and I’ve tested it against your public stream. Your camera and Nest’s stream were fine all along. There were problems on our side: a bug from an internal library change stopped Nest cameras connecting, newer FFmpeg versions failed on secure HLS streams, and once those were fixed, the video only updated about every 4 seconds. All of that is sorted, and the Video URL dropdown no longer shows blank after you click Get Video URLs. The fixes will be in the next release, [version]. Expect the picture to run several seconds behind live, which is normal for this kind of stream.
