Please help me I’m an idiot
Are you using homebridge-config-ui-x? If so you can just authenticate via the ui. If not, following the steps on the plugins GitHub page for manual steps. https://github.com/Brandawg93/homebridge-nest-cam

Hardware accelerated ffmpeg/camera encoding on Raspberry Pi 4 (homebridge-nest-cam)
It looks like they removed h264_omx support from recent Rasbian builds. I tried using h264_v4l2m2m which is supposed to be the replacement with ffmpeg-for-homebridge through https://github.com/Brandawg93/homebridge-nest-cam but I get no video. Anyone have this working?

Adding Nest Cam to HOOBS
Here’s the instructions for generating your authentication codes for HOOBs. It can be tricky to understand the first time you do it. I recommend watching this YouTube video (4:20 mark) to see how to do it.

Open range of ports for Homebridge plugins
One plugin in particular (Nest-Cam https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-nest-cam), seems to be trying to open different ports every time you click on the camera preview to start the live stream (the plugin uses this system https://www.npmjs.com/package/get-port)

FFmpeg, libfdk_aac, issue locking, and issue deletion
Well, everyone except ffmpeg-for-homebridge. The ffmpeg binary produced actually yells about how it "is not legally redistributable" as I raised on https://github.com/homebridge/ffmpeg-for-homebridge/issues/52, but our esteemed gentleman from (checks profile) North Dakota u/donavanbecker cites FDK's license about how it is redistributable under such and such terms. Well my dear friend, it is redistributable on its own, but not when you link it with GPL parts!

Making a baby cam with the Raspberry Pi HQ Cam
I figured out that, for some reason, Homebridge wants to use libfdk_aac as the audio codec for the audio stream. Alas, the supplied FFmpeg only has the (inferior) native AAC encoder installed. No worries, you have to install ffmpeg-for-homebridge (sudo curl -Lf# https://github.com/homebridge/ffmpeg-for-homebridge/releases/latest/download/ffmpeg-raspbian-armv6l.tar.gz | sudo tar xzf - -C / --no-same-owner), which comes with libfdk_aac support compiled.
