Google Maps / StreetView coverage layer in QGIS

Question

I've come across a useful method for adding Google layers as a raster in QGIS: High resolution, printable alternative to OpenLayers plugin for QGIS?

Does anyone know what the serverUrl is for the google streetview coverage map? I've found this url but I can't get it to work in the XML:

https://mts1.googleapis.com/vt?hl=en-US&lyrs=svv|cb_client:apiv3&style=40,18&x=9&y=15&z=5

You can install the TileLayer plugin for QGIS, and add a line in the tiles.tsv file build from your example URL like this:

Googlesv   Googlesv    https://mts1.googleapis.com/vt?hl=en-US&lyrs=svv|cb_client:apiv3&style=40,18&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}  1   0   20  -180    -85.0   180.0   85.0

Note that the file has to be TAB delimited. I get this result:
