How can I know the number of minutes served for a stream?

Gagan Suie•5/10/24, 3:37 AM

We originally used websockets actually. Just not that url you provided.

In our platform we use Webhook connected and webhook disconnected events to create start and stop timestamps.

dare to do the calculation yourself

Gagan Suie•5/10/24, 3:41 AM

It's triggered by cloudflare webhooks. We just save the timestamps when those events hit.

I've been doing this for a month and I'm still green on some things. Example if I do not have any output defined for a stream nor record the stream and a client starts a transmission from the obs, cloudflare counts those minutes to me

AleOP•5/10/24, 4:05 AM

My intention is to block access to a user who has expired or exceeded their plan, without having to delete that stream.

Gagan Suie•5/10/24, 4:09 AM

are you setting the timestamps when webhooks hit?

AleOP•5/10/24, 4:17 AM

No, I still don't

Gagan Suie•5/10/24, 4:19 AM

you're using webrtc or rtmps?

Gagan Suie•5/10/24, 4:20 AM

sorry actually it wouldn't matter, they both timeout as soon as they stop receiving data

AleOP•5/10/24, 4:48 AM

I am granting the client access to all protocols, but I want to be able to deny service.

Is there any builtin protections preventing malicious/ddos views racking up stream minutes/bill? Can someone just write a script that opens a thousand streams?

khalil•5/13/24, 6:26 AM

perhaps views are tied to ip?

Rrenan yep! check this out for the most control, including IPs: https://developers.clou...

khalil•5/14/24, 8:56 AM

ah, I am aware of signed urls and geo/ip restriction, but I am concerned that might not be enough.
For example, if a logged-in user with access to the signed url in a non-blocked geo/ip region opens a bunch of streams at once, that could result in a large bill? Even if I time-limit the signed url, its still possible spam a bunch of stream fetches.

Is there any protection in which even if a bad actor passes the signed url, timelimit, and geo/ip checks, writing a shell script to open/download a stream 10000 times gets detected & blocked simply because the usage is suspicious (maybe in the simpler case of all requests coming from one ip)?

Jonathan•5/17/24, 4:58 PM

Hi all, I was wondering if there were any betas or updates on cloudflare stream WebRTC supporting playing using HLS or DASH? Also, are there any updates on the other limitations while in beta? (Recording, simulcasting, live viewer counts, analytics, and rtmp/srt in)

im getting two strange errors:

When trying to do a direct creator upload of a video with smaller videos (so far tested and succeded with images less than 200mb) it works fine. Doing that same upload with a video of around 300mb eventually the connection just dies and get an NS_ERROR_GENERATE_FAILURE. Doing it with a video around 500mb gives me an immediate CORS origin error. Same domain same algoritm, only difference is video sizes as far as i can tell.
When trying to retrieve this thumbnail, https://customer-56fx8oxwdrk14ngj.cloudflarestream.com/38d41d8da5c940ed8208c7d63831207e/thumbnails/thumbnail.jpg it hangs and returns a 524 error eventually

Some of our live-inputs in our streaming platform aren't stopping. This is one example:

ohh. there was a bug related to non-authenticated users. resolved it yesterday.

i will reach out to support regarding these random live inputs not stopping.

Gagan Suie•5/25/24, 10:35 PM

woah. in 30 minutes we almost got VoDs feature implemented in our platform. Cloudflare API is insane.

This is simply making a GET request to retrieve recorded streams.

Jay Bayron•5/28/24, 6:27 AM

Hi, I am using Cloudflare Calls for video conferencing. However, since yesterday, I have encountered an issue where the video suddenly stops displaying when a new track ID is added to the SDP. Additionally, I noticed in the network (fetch/XHR) that the media IDs are duplicated, but no error is displayed.

I hope someone can help me with this issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure I quite understand the context of your sentence, but yes that's the basic 'allowed origins' function which is available on Live Inputs [and therefore any video associated] and visible editable on indivdual videos ie. the screenshot above

kwaku•5/30/24, 8:45 PM

Hi I am trying to upgrade from cloudlfare 2.x to cloudflare 3.x. (i was a node-cloudflar developer) I have been trying to look at cloudflare-typescript documentation to get up to speed. previously, I was doing two things: wrapping around uploadVideoFromUrluploadVideoFromUrl, and videoDetailsvideoDetails in cloudflare stream.

are there any guides for understanding how to do these things in 3.x. the paradigm and patterns seem completely different

frogass•5/30/24, 9:19 PM

I can't find a channel specific for images, but I am having trouble configuring my zone to handle image resizing with the new way that Transformations function. When I try to update my zone in the UI it seems to work, and then will regress to be deactivated and so I am stuck in a loop of it not functioning.

Rares•5/30/24, 9:21 PM

Hey, how i can get the video uid from a live input? i tried with the lifecyclelifecycle as mentioned in the docs, but it always gives this response

{
  isInput: true,
  videoUID: null,
  live: false,
  status: 'disconnected',
  chunked: true
}

{
  isInput: true,
  videoUID: null,
  live: false,
  status: 'disconnected',
  chunked: true
}

Interesting data. I would guess they have load shedding configured on their load balancer to artificially route some percentage of connections to other colos
