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.

Lla.x.rc Do you see choppiness or playback issues with this?

Thomas•4/9/24, 7:38 AM

Audio and Video looks good, no issues. The missing audio occurs randomly, not every start of the stream. Also we got more issues when more viewers are watching. When I tested myself everything is fine.

HEVC hardware decode is at this point available on most platforms, so it's really a pretty good stop-gap solution until AV1 decoders catch up, especially on mobile devices

Lla.x.rc Do you see choppiness or playback issues with this?

Thomas•4/9/24, 1:54 PM

I can reproduce 3 issues from my list when playing your test stream:

short framedrops of about 1 second every 30 seconds till 2 Minutes (roundabout)
the stream hangs up after a while of playing, especially when tab was inactive or run in background before refocus again
stream was starting with no audio

I‘m using different top end devices: Windows PC Chrome, Android S23 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad Pro

Hello - I'm seeing random buffering in our CloudFlare livestreams. Streaming from OBS to Restream to YouTube and CloudFlare. YouTube stream has no buffering. Recording has no issues. But livestream in Cloudflare has buffering with 3 dots on the center of the frame at random intervals. Any suggestions for how to improve this?

Doc•4/10/24, 2:34 AM

I'm seeing this error in the Console Log: [warn][hlsjs: non-fatal error occurred]
{evt: 'hlsError', data: {…}}

Thomas•4/11/24, 8:18 AM

1 would be great to get improvements, my CPU usage is around 0.5% when streaming so 99.5% are available (using CPU Encoder)
2 probably the player implementation, unfortunately it isn’t that easy to get same stable behaviour like the iframe integrated CF player. biggest issue is to continue playing when stopped without needing to fully reload/re-instantiate the player
3 the audio recovers after 1 till 3 minutes, this issue wasn’t there before a week roundabout, since then it randomly happens, reproducable, along different devices, also your teststream

hello. I am currently working as a backend developer at a startup in Korea. I'm trying to use Cloudflare as a stream service, but I have a few questions.

I heard that there is a problem with the Korean regional CDN regarding network usage fees. Will there be any problems using the Korean CDN with Cloudflare stream now?
Are there additional charges to use Korean CDN with Stream Service?
2.1 If additional fees are required to use the Korean CDN, how are those fees charged?
2.2 What is the structure of the additional fees required to use the Korean CDN, and is there a way to minimize the additional costs?

I would appreciate reply.

Hi,
anyone using Cloudflare Stream for live streaming? I tried to stream with OBS Studio to it, but I always had the Error „the RTMP Server sent a invalid SSL Certificate“ - do you have a idea how I could fix this problem?

Update Windows

tt2468•4/12/24, 9:09 PM

Your CA cert repository is outdated

Ttt2468 Update Windows

n1klas•4/12/24, 9:27 PM

It’s a fresh install of Windows 10

I also updated the CA cert repo

tt2468•4/12/24, 9:29 PM

Don't know what to say then, because 100% of cases that we see that error with well-known services like cloudflare is when the OS ca certs are outdated

Thanks!

This is the problem we've been talking about for days. Sometimes loading times increase for some users.
for 20 users if there are 100 people on the site.

Lla.x.rc Can you capture an HAR

rootalien•4/14/24, 1:44 PM

har?

rootalien•4/14/24, 2:01 PM

I got it now, I'll post it when this happens again.

rootalien•4/14/24, 2:02 PM

We've been saying this for months already. cf rarely increases loading times in some ray-IDs.

rootalien•4/14/24, 2:02 PM

This has nothing to do with whether it is a pro or free domain.
