i just tested using Eyevinn WHIP and WHEP demo apps and the streams would freeze about every 5 seconds for up to 1-2 seconds...
Doh well
TI also have this issue, it appears to be tied to packet loss. Anyone have any tips for mitigating freezes, or knowledge on when this might be resolved?
TOnly way I've been able to mitigate it is reducing keyframe interval
Dno clue @the.12th.doctor .... i have to move to another service unfortunately. i have no time to debug it.
Di'll monitor here for updates / improvements
TDid some digging today and appears the Stream SDP response indicates they only support RTX (packet resend functionality) on VP8/VP9, and my WebRTC client is negotiating to H264, hence the packet loss. Tried modifying my SDP offer to eliminate H264, but am now getting a 400 from Cloudflare. Not sure if I'll have time to dive into this deeper, but posting it in case anyone wants to check it out.
II don't believe so, Cloudflare Stream is just HLS and I'm pretty sure HLS isn't frame-accurate.
ILikely chunk or keyframe accurate, not sure which.
INever mind, looks like HLS can be frame-accurate if set up properly with a player. Not sure if the steam player is frame-accurate or not (ref https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7555)
Ois there a way to make a video require signed URLs but allow the thumbnail to be viewable publicly?
Oor can i setup a signed token only for thumnail permissions
SAnyone using cloudflare call? When it will be out of beta?
1Nothing automated currently. For Stream, you can get a webhook when a video is uploaded, not sure if Images has the same. When this webhook is received, you could use that to initiate a process that sends your content to a third party service to be scanned before being allowed to be seen public. Not sure if that fits your use case
IWould be great if the basic video uploads in the Cloudflare dashboard supported files bigger than 200mb to get started more easily:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/upload-video-file/
https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/upload-video-file/
Cloudflare Docs
For files smaller than 200 MB, you can use simple form-based uploads.
WHello, I wanted to test the cloudflare images face detection which isn't available to public yet for a project of mine. Can you guide me how to do it so?
HHello fam. I’m having some tech difficulties I’m trying to send a video feed to my stream input and for some reason I can’t. I’m currently using a tricaster for my video production and this is what my unit is asking for.
Could someone give me a helping hand with this issue

SI have a question regarding Image delivery. In my application i currently use signed urls to let my users access private images. There are 2 problems i currently have:
1) For private images are requested frequently, so a lot of round trips to my API.
2) They dont work with transformation params like "w=50,dpr=3".
Does anyone know if token authentication allows for image delivery to end users using transformation params? Would offload my API a lot if a user could use the same token for an hour or so :D. Any other alternatives?

AWhat is the accepted method for segregating stream video data from different environments (dev, QA, production, etc)?
LNoone else not receiving webhooks? Been waiting 3 weeks for a reply to my support ticket, and for the time being have had to migrate off stream
KHey, can anyone help me in finding the method for editing video details in the python sdk?
KI think it is probably not implemented?
KIt should be a post request to
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/stream/{identifier}AHello everyone, if a user interrupts a video upload, does it get deleted automatically?
KAre you talking about direct creator uploads?
KIs it possible to download the captions using the signed url?
SIs https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/webrtc-beta/ still alive? Any predictions for the alpha release?

Sub-second latency live streaming (using WHIP) and playback (using WHEP) to unlimited concurrent viewers.

Streams module. I am following the example laid out here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/direct-creator-uploads/#resumable-uploadsIt's half working. I see the video upload being created in the Cloudflare dashboard but the upload fails on the client. Any ideas?
SI found the issue. It is because I was setting a 302 status in my server endpoint to return the upload url. Changing it to a 201 fixes the issue. Note it must be a 201 (Created), not a 200.
GI heard before that CF Stream hopes to have WebRTC available before Presidential Elections; is that still the goal?
SCloudlfare stream failing produce recorded mp4 videos. What is the reason and solution? Sometime works and sometime it doesn't. Its so frustrating
DYes it is still alive. We have plans on improving it (hopefully) this quarter. But no dates for that yet.
DHey everyone!
I’m trying to set up a live stream using WebRTC WHIP in Go. Got a Go app that shares the screen, and I can connect to Cloudflare—input status shows as connected, and I can see streaming details. But the stream doesn’t actually show up in the playback window, and it just says “stream has not started yet.”
I also tried using the ggarber/whip-go project since it’s in Cloudflare’s docs, but ran into the same issue. Has anyone else faced this or have any idea what could be going wrong?
Appreciate any help!

SHey guys!
I'm using Next.js and having some issues generating signed URLs to access a video stored on cloudflare stream. this is my code:
const cloudflareTokenResponse = await fetch(
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization':
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
});
if (!cloudflareTokenResponse.ok) {
return res.status(500).json({ message: 'Failed to generate Cloudflare token' });
}
const cloudflareTokenData = await cloudflareTokenResponse.json();
const signedUrl =
console.log(signedUrl)
return res.status(200).json({ signedUrl });
The URL is generated successfully, I get no errors there, but every time I try to access the generated url, I get an error 401 unauthorized. any idea what may be causing it? I have "Require Signed URLs" checked on the video settings

SAnyone else having problems with direct creator uploads to cloudflare images? The upload url is generated every time, together with the draft. But it seems random if the upload works or just times out..
Kthe token should go in place of ${VIDEO_UID}, and not as a query parameter I believe
SNo, docs specifically state it needs to be a query param
SI figured it out though, I was using videodelivery.net for the final signedUrl and needed to use customer-[id].cloudflarestream.com/
Gwill there be a way to use stream recorded videos as training data without downloading each video?
KOur primary streaming provider is Vimeo still. Because Clouflare still struggling to provide low latency streaming via OBS. It has like 1 to 2 minutes lag which they promised to fix but it has been more than 2 years no progress has been made. Vimeo provides two options via OBS and we use the fast option which has max delay between 6 to 12 seconds.
You may suggest webRTC but it does not support auto upload of the streamed recorded video and in the event of network failure it does not maintain the same session.
I don’t know if cloudflare really serious competing against other players but my account manager convinced me that it is the next best thing, signed me up on an enterprise plan. Thankfully we did not end our contract with Vimeo, saved us from embarrassment.
So far the experience has been a disaster and still feels like we are in beta mode.
If these two issues don’t fix you guys have no chance getting any serious company onboard !

1Are you sure this isn't on your end? I can get RTMP latency down to a few seconds (maybe 3-5s off the top of my head) using OBS
1Main setting to be looking at is your keyframe interval, getting it as low as possible without too many buffering hitches. Also turning on LL-HLS support on the live input is a must (even without I feel like latency is always under 15sec)
1For context, I stream 120k - ~1M minutes a month through Stream and have been very happy with the service provided
1I just checked, and the latency is around 10 seconds with the following settings in OBS which took me 30 seconds to decide upon
Edit: changed the preset to P1 and got it down to like 5sec
