Anyone else having issues with WebRTC at around 5pm UTC? It'll be fine for my 4 streams and twice now at 5pm everything starts breaking. I also use the API to check the stream status and it'll return 429 - too many requests

Thanks Rachel. Do you want me to test it and report issues then?

Hello, can we place our own domain name for cloudflare stream?

Hello,

With stream, is it possible to setup a feature on our webapp to choose different aspect ratios to download from, for the same video?

very cool live clipping

both HLS and dash links throwin errors?

the dash one prompts me to download the file, it downloads a 8kb file

pretty cool feature. I'm definately adding this to my web app

BironHalo•4/4/24, 3:33 PM

I just can't find anything on giving users the ability to download different video resolutions, though it wouldn't cost me less in minutes to run the server, it would be great to package it in different pay gates.

Yes. I use it in mine. It's a simple API call

khalil•4/5/24, 8:20 PM

Would it be possible to make the max preview duration higher, like 30 minutes or so? The live clipping can serve as live playback/rewind, which has been requested by many, but this 5 min restriction prevents this use case (please correct me if I am misunderstanding the duration limit).
Youtube is able to rewind an ongoing live stream to any point in the live stream, it would be super useful to have this as a part of Stream.

Tthelegend27 Yes. I use it in mine. It's a simple API call

Ale•4/6/24, 4:34 AM

I meant that if it is somewhere in the documentation, I was able to obtain the endpoint but using the browser's dev tools

thelegend27OP•4/6/24, 9:57 AM

Oh! That's be cool. Especially because if you call the endpoint too often you start getting 429s

Will traffic still be charged without using relays?

Thomas•4/8/24, 12:25 PM

The live clipping feature feels like a joke. You can just cut out one single specific part of the video?! Thanks for nothing. Instead they should make the WebRTC stable for professional use, especially when more than 50 viewers are watching.

Lla.x.rc what issues did you run into with webrtc?

Thomas•4/8/24, 6:16 PM

There are some issues, based on your WHEP implementation example and also recommended OBS settings:

short stutter/framedrops of about a half of a second till 2 seconds while audio is running fine, occurs randomly every 5 till 30
seconds, this can differ from day to day on the same device
It constantly stopping (hang up) after a while and playback don’t continue automatically, it needs full reload of the player
when starting playback sometimes it buffers endlessly and doesn’t playback the stream
sometimes the audio channel won’t play while the video is running and starts after a while (~ 3 minutes), reloading the page don’t fix it, also this occurs randomly between different devices
our audience needs to reload the video page often to get a stable playback or to continue watching, also it looks like the more viewers are watching (50+) the more issues we have (also on a same device)

I’m really looking forward to get any improvement

khalil•4/8/24, 6:29 PM

My two cents: I think changes like live clipping are more essential, and I appreciate the work being done in these directions; I understand webrtc stuff is the future so to speak with its lower latency etc, but I can't help but to feel that this "shinier" tech is drawing resources away from core "stream" features (or perhaps there is just less presence here in the discord, and its not a matter of resources). There are relatively smaller changes, such as fleshing out live clipping/live rewind, or allowing instant mp4 downloads without the processing (which occasionally just errors out), videos stuck in a live-inprogress state for 10 months, etc, that I think would help a larger proportion of actual Stream users. I don't think webrtc users/requesters constitute a significant proportion of Stream users in terms of actual production usage, but perhaps I am mistaken about this.

Lla.x.rc I don't know if OBS can switch to a different codec

tt2468•4/9/24, 2:02 AM

The OBS WHIP output currently only supports AVC and AV1. AV1 is available as of the 30.1.0 release.

tt2468•4/9/24, 2:12 AM

Yeah, I honestly haven't been keeping track of which browsers are supporting it. We should probably add HEVC at some point soon

Isaac McFadyen•4/9/24, 3:38 AM

If anything HEVC support looks even patchier than AV1, or at least there are a lot more *caveat*caveats on HEVC than AV1.

Thomas•4/9/24, 4:45 AM

Didn’t know of the licensing issues, so thanks for this information. Although h265 would be the better codec in terms of compression and quality.

Lla.x.rc If you are running into issues with H264, try a scalable codec, like VP8 or VP9

Thomas•4/9/24, 7:31 AM

VP9 isn’t fully supported by iOS, VP8 can’t be used for WHIP (just for local recording). I’ve tested this on OBS and Streamlabs. AV1 is also not supported and crash the software when start streaming. The only option is H264 Software and NVIDIA H264. Since we have round about 30 streamer making live streaming we need some robust solution any of them can use out of the box. Actually the missing audio track when starting the video is very frustrating, this issue wasn’t there before a week. The WHEP/WHIP just doesn’t feel stable actually.

Anyone else having issues with WebRTC at around 5pm UTC? It'll be fine for my 4 streams and twice n
