With the command
exiftool xxxxx.mp4 -gpslatitude=45.9104729 -gpslongitude=5.3440894 -gpslatituderef=N -gpslongituderef=E
which works in the terminal Mac, Streetview rejects it.

I am not familiar with StreetView but try in order for movies (-GPSCoordinates defaults to ItemList). You might leave the altitude off:

exiftool -P -overwrite_original -Keys:GPSCoordinates='-36.6101, -66.91515, 119.9' a.mp4

exiftool -P -overwrite_original -UserData:GPSCoordinates='-36.6101, -66.91515, 119.9' a.mp4

exiftool -P -overwrite_original -ItemList:GPSCoordinates='-36.6101, -66.91515, 119.9' a.mp4

I use Keys for Google Photos and UserData should also work there.

As wywh points out, you probably should be writing to GPSCoordinates instead of GPSLatitude/GPSLongitude.  In a video file, GPSLatitude/GPSLongitude will be written to the XMP GPS tags, which do not have as much support outside of Adobe programs. Also, in XMP, there isn't a separate GPSLatitudeRef/GPSLongitudeRef tag, the reference values are to be included in the base tag.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Thank you for these answers but i've just realised that street view refuses indoor locations and i think that's where the problem lies.
Once again, thank you all
