Camera Stream troubleshooting help please

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get any of my camera to stream to a Nest Hub with no luck. I’ve selected Arlo cams, Wyze cam, and Nest Hello (doorbell) with same results in automation. I can view them fine in frontend, so I know it’s not the camera’s picture.

alias: Test
description: ''
trigger: []
condition: []
action:
  - service: camera.play_stream
    data:
      media_player: media_player.kitchen_max
    target:
      entity_id: camera.aarlo_front_porch
mode: single

I get the attached on the Nest hub. It’s just the streaming logo. No sound or picture from camera

Anyone have ideas?

Try the service call in menu ’ developer tools’ you might get feedback on any errors that indicate underlying conditions

thanks for the suggestion. I’m not sure where I’d see errors. I did see in the Logbook that when I called it, it went to “changed to Playing” and then immediately “changed to Idle”
