Amazing thanks @mickiebetz ! Can i ask a couple more questions, was going through the docs and api and got confused:

When creating a live input, rtmps and rtmpsPlayback are essentially the same (in api docs, same stream key and url)?
To play a livestream I need the DASH or HLS urls, which are just the endpoints with the uid at the end correct (so https://customer<CODE>.cloudflarestream.com/<LIVE_UID>/manifest/video.m3u8 or .mpd)? So no need to send a get request once the livestream has started as the docs state?
For webRTC in the docs, you state that there are two variables, a secret for publishing and an input_uid for playing but in the API docs, the broadcasting and playback urls are the same except for the ending, either /public or /play. So the secret and the input_uid are the same?
Once the livestream has ended and it has been recorded (when it is ready), can I just treat it as a normal video so using the live_uid in the video endpoints (or does the recorded video get a different uid, different to that of the live_uid)?
And is there a web hook event for when a livestream recording is ready - is it the same as that for videos?

I just realized some more context would probably be useful.

From OBS I am streaming to Cloudflare to handle my multiple Outputs. Two are going to YouTube and one is going to a web streaming service via RTMP, those work great!

I am trying to stream to SRT to our local CBS news station, the stream decoder is a Teradek device. When streaming directly to the SRT link in OBS it works flawlessly! But using Cloudflare's SRT output, even though it says connected, nothing appears on the news station's decoder. I thought it was because Cloudflare couldn't allow custom parameters for the mode being set to "caller", maybe I'm wrong? A support document said Cloudflare is already in "caller" mode for SRT?

Any advice to get the SRT link working in CF would be amazing!

Hi @mickiebetz . Do you know that is there any regions or country that block CloudFlare stream? We are planning to move the video from Vimeo to cloudFlare because vimeo got blocked on China and Indonesia

There is no option to disable recording. Its how CF stream is designed.

marve•7/19/24, 9:18 AM

Coming back to question 4: Since the liveId and the videoID are different, would be great if the webhook event for a ready video would contain a liveInputId field (null if not a livestream). This way we wouldn't have to schedule a GET request to /live_inputs/<UID>/videos once the livestream has ended to get the videoId and its state (we're using our own player). Or even with the livestream_connected webhook event, would be great to have the videoId there (since it's actively recorded). Actually maybe this is already implemented, does the webhook event already include live_input?

Also, @Zaid (Cloudflare) @mickiebetz can a live be used multiple times? Say a recurring livestream, that way the user can reuse the same live id?

HypherionSA•7/19/24, 8:29 PM

Hey. Just want to get some clarity around the pricing.

If I only use Stream to upload videos, that get embedded in my website, do I pay for both the video storage (minutes), and people watching the videos, or does that only apply to live streams?

The product page is confusing me, because it says $1 per 1000 minutes streamed, but reading through this channel, it sounds like this also applies to people watching uploaded videos, and not just live streams?

how you actually go about purchasing a Cloudflare Stream/Image bundle? Do you need to talk to sales to do this? I've had a ticket sitting there for longer than 7 days, multiple calls to Cloudflare and I can't get through to Sales. How am I suppose to increase my 100 minute Stream storage quota so I can actually use this in production?

Scroll to the bottom of the Videos page, then click Change Subscription. Click Continue. Select the Custom storage tier, then enter how many minutes of storage you want (in multiples of 1000 mins), then click Continue. Here you will confirm the purchase using whatever payment method is attached to account (PayPal for me)

1984 Ford Laser•7/24/24, 2:59 AM

Before I start searching the chat history on here, does anyone have a decent method for determining total viewer over the life of a live stream/video? I know I can pull the live viewer count, but otherwise it seems the GraphQL api is missing this specific endpoint for CF Stream. I am using the page views from Google Analytics currently, but users have many reasons to visit the specific page bedies the video so its not the most accurate
