I'm uploading a video of resolution

1280x692

1280x692

which is slightly less than 720p but the streams are generated for 280p, 360p and 480p only. The deduction from 692p to 480p is leading to huge quality difference when we play the video using player.

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:05 AM

is there a way to generate streams in 720p as well?

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:05 AM

Render your video in 720p before upload

can't cf stream do this on its own?

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:06 AM

It wont if the source video is below that res

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:06 AM

Stream isnt a transcoding product

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:06 AM

yah by default it won't but there should have been some option

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:06 AM

Ive been asking for that for a while lol

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:07 AM

ohh

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:07 AM

Like it does transcoding in the background, but you cant force it to render weird stuff like that

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:08 AM

understood but they could do something like if its above 680 or something

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:08 AM

in such cases 720 can be generated

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:08 AM

or else there's kinda a huge difference

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:08 AM

where is your video coming from? Why the odd resolution

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:09 AM

the users are uploading it.

Kkai I'm uploading a video of resolution `1280x692` which is slightly less than 720p ...

Not sure who the Stream PM is but can someone more official confirm this?

11984 Ford Laser Not sure who the Stream PM is but can someone more official confirm this?

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:12 AM

I thought you've confirmed it

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:12 AM

As far as Im aware, but I dont work for CF

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:13 AM

not much people are active in this channel

11984 Ford Laser As far as Im aware, but I dont work for CF

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:14 AM

did you read it somewhere in docs?

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:16 AM

I can't find a specific reference in the doc

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:16 AM

I'm not sure if they've even mentioned it in docs or not

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:16 AM

But I dont see any reason to waste transcode on upscaling a video very slightly. The pipeline would not be made to do so currently I would imagine

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:17 AM

Why would they? Its a very odd use case

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:17 AM

i mean they should atleast mention that the streams will only be available in resolution <= resolution of original video

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:17 AM

Common sense would dictate that

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:18 AM

true

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:19 AM

That specific resoluton you mentioned is an odd aspect ratio, how would you want it handled? Cropped to fit in the 720p frame, squeezed to fit, zoomed? Too many variables for what is wasted resources on tiny niche use case

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:20 AM

okay, but then there should be an option to play the video in the original resolution as it was uploaded

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:21 AM

apart from the degraded resolutions

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:21 AM

Could you link me to an m3u8 of one of your videos?

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:22 AM

we are using mpd

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:23 AM

Thats fine just curious what it shows

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:23 AM

PM if you cant share public

11984 Ford Laser PM if you cant share public

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:27 AM

I don't think I'll be able to share it since its not mine personally

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:27 AM

what do you want to know specifically?

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:28 AM

I was going to try uploading my own video at 692P then compare the files

11984 Ford Laser I was going to try uploading my own video at 692P then compare the files

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:30 AM

it just contains representation tags for 480, 360 and 240p

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:30 AM

can you try once as well?

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:31 AM

Will do, I wanted to compare bitrates of the encoded renditions. Lemme just encode something at that res

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:31 AM

okay

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:32 AM

but there is no

Representation

of the original video

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:32 AM

not sure if thats how mpd files work

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:32 AM

i think they have fixed set of supported resolutions

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:32 AM

videos aways get transcoded on Stream, no access to original as far as Im aware

kaiOP•10/30/24, 11:33 AM

ohh

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:37 AM

I also only got a 480p stream max, encoded at 1.5mbps, the original was at 5mbps

1984 Ford Laser•10/30/24, 11:38 AM

Tell your users to upload proper videos :lul:

the price for web RTC streaming is the same as stream? in the pricing page is not clear, it says

Delivery is counted by HTTP requests for video segments or parts of the MP4. Therefore:

Client-side preloading and buffering is counted as billable delivery.
Content played from client-side/browser cache is not billable, like a short looping video. Some mobile app player libraries do not cache HLS segments by default.
MP4 Downloads are billed by percentage of the file delivered.
HLS and DASH playback is rounded to the segment length. For uploaded content, HLS and DASH segments are four seconds. Live broadcast segments are determined by the keyframe interval or GOP size.

other technicall question, did't found a way to delete the web rtc published URL
