@fronzbot hey, do you think this could be merged without tests for the livestreaming part or do you want a mock for that?

[fronzbot]

My preference is for tests to be included for new methods/classes. Far too often something has changed on Blink's end resulting in a library change that borks some code that we weren't unittesting. Better to get in front of that IMO.

Is this ready for review? I see you changed the title but it's still marked as a draft.

It is missing tests right now, but I will try to add some for the new API. Not sure about the livestream itself though.

Hi @mback2k - this has been open for awhile now and still marked as a Draft. Is this ready for review yet?

I am sorry, I was sick recently. I will try to get back to this soon, but for now tests are still missing and the stream connection is also not fully reliable yet, I guess because not all parameters in the authentication frames ware correctly decoded yet.

@fronzbot I have got a stable MPEG-TS streaming implementation now and also tests for the blinkpy API. I am still working on tests for the internals of the BlinkLiveStream class, but I spotted that the coverage CI/CD job fails due to some token issue: https://github.com/fronzbot/blinkpy/actions/runs/16103190750/job/45435025323?pr=1051
