Camera feed seems to be inaccessible

[guruprasadah]

Im using a Mi Home Security Camera 360, and all the entities show up, but there seems to be no video feed. is this intentional, will there ever be an accessible video feed, or never?

xiaomi_home does not support getting videos or pictures from the camera by design. This function will never be implemented.

What? At least provide some rationales please?

according to another answer in #232 :
it's told that the stream is encrypted e2e, can only be decrypted at the Mi Home app. hence, the feature asked above (enable picture / video stream to end users) wasn't able to be realized back then, not now, not in the coming future either.

p.s. this answer is eye-opening for real.

xiaomi_home does not support getting videos or pictures from the camera by design. This function will never be implemented.

reasoning coming from official maintainer team might not always be a cheerful one, we understand that. We do however expect sth bouncing back than merely hearing "it'll never be implemented" and call it a day. As a maintainer, your ways of "maintaining" the community is absolutely stunning. Your attitude and tone of voice is jaw-droppingly amazing, unfortunately in the wrong direction. 😔

正当小米计划推出NAS产品的同时，又在给人找不要买NAS的理由，云服务是好，但是云服务并不是永远工作的。这里说的不仅仅是小米的云服务器，家里的网络有时也会故障的。
