Maybe because its not ready yet? Repeatedly complaining won't get it done faster

Jace•12/7/24, 12:09 PM

would love to use stream but i can't because cloudflare's broken as hell

Jace•12/7/24, 12:11 PM

cloudflare's subscriptions system is absolutely ass

Repeatedly their sales rep making promise to deliver every year doesn’t help the reputation either.

Is it possible to restrict the aspect ratio of the streams being generated from the original video? The video that I'm uploading is not of

16:9

16:9

aspect ratio but I want generated streams to be in that ratio, is it possible to do so?

PLEASE fix this so i can set 3 days limit to delete recordings:

{\"result\":null,\"success\":false,\"errors\":[{\"code\":10060,\"message\":\"Invalid deleteRecordingAfterDays value: The deleteRecordingAfterDays value must be between 30 and 1096 days\"}],\"messages\":null}

I have added subtitles VTT file to cloudflare but it doesnt seem to let me show subtitles on the stream

Jack (V1CE)•12/13/24, 1:10 PM

Anyone have any ideas?

How cloudflare streams minutes are billed? Where can I see my used minutes?

Greetings all! Has anyone else ever received an unknown error when a livestream video recording should encode, but is unable to for "an unknown reason?"

Eupheminis•12/17/24, 10:13 PM

I have experienced random disconnects streaming to cloudflare.

1984 Ford LaserOP•12/17/24, 11:43 PM

I've had this happen maybe once or twice after dozens of streams, but not for any reason that would stand out. I always have a backup recording earlier in my pipeline

Vanquish-•12/17/24, 11:44 PM

I've seen the error for all of my test streams. Unable to get any recording to encode and save. I read somewhere online that it may be related to lack of metadata.

Might I ask your technique for middle-manning a recording process in the stream chain? @1984 Ford Laser

1984 Ford LaserOP•12/17/24, 11:58 PM

I use AWS Medialive for stream compositing, which is capable of exporting a rrecording to S3. There will also be a recording on the device doing the streaming, so usually 3 copies at minimum

1984 Ford LaserOP•12/17/24, 11:59 PM

You could also re-stream to a private YT stream key for a simple free solution (haven't tested tbh)

Okay, so I am able to stream from Livekit to Cloudflare stream using low latency HLS (on RTMP protocol) but we are still getting more than 10 seconds of latency. We need to reduce it to <5s.

Vanquish-•12/18/24, 11:01 PM

I worked extensively with AWS MediaLive and IVS services with low-latency and LL-HLS. They advertised 1 - 2 second latency, but I discovered that HLS latency was different based on the browser and device type you watched from. Spent hours making my own transcoding servers only to find out, regardless of my efforts, the playback from RTMP -> HLS was beyond my control for latency adjustment. I have a feeling all HLS operates like this per device type. webRTC is the way to go for real-time 200ms latency. Consistency in all scenarios.

Isaac McFadyen•12/18/24, 11:17 PM

^ HLS (and LL-HLS) is very much device-dependent because the protocol leaves it entirely up to the device on when/how to fetch each chunk, whereas WebRTC actually sends the device the current content so it must keep up

Vanquish-•12/19/24, 1:01 AM

Haha, oh yeah. Wish I knew this before I sunk multiple days into all the pre-work before this realization in my final demo.

Arvind•12/19/24, 1:03 AM

webRTC cost me a huge bandwidth transfer from EC2 which leads to bigger bills

Isaac McFadyen•12/19/24, 1:07 AM

If you were doing custom WebRTC that's likely because the browser (if not properly set) will use as much bandwidth as it possibly can.

Vanquish-•12/19/24, 1:07 AM

Good ol' AWS billing. You could scratch an itch in the console and spend $1K

xiechao•12/24/24, 5:36 AM

How can I downgrade the service I subscribed to? I may not need this much next month

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all! >>> Asking a question to the room: Has anyone experienced "black screen" issues when connection / reconnecting to the webRTC stream from a viewer perspective? I'm trying to troubleshoot an occasional issue where a viewer may see a prolonged "black screen" when attempting to connect or reconnect to a live webRTC stream using a WHEP client. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this type of issue and has some input on how to prevent or resolve such issues. (I am using TURN server in the peer connection process) Thanks!

Hey, I want to use the Stream's webhook but when go to Notification in Cloudflare dashboard i just able to create a webhook for
and not register my service's url for webhook. I have noticed that it need pro plan or above to use it.
I have paid $5 for Stream so do i need more $20 of pro plan for using webhook other methods.

1984 Ford LaserOP•12/28/24, 1:32 AM

You use the dashboard for setting up webhooks on videos, and use the API for setting up webhooks for streams (or vice versa, I can't remember). I don't think the docs contain this distinction anywhere, could be deeply hidden

Kaizen - I will not DM U First!•12/29/24, 11:48 PM

Cloudlare delay in streaming is atrocious

Sometimes it is more than 1 minute 30 seconds via obs. Even tweaking all the settings it’s just utter garbage compare to other streaming providers

When will they fix this ? People are not using your live stream to broadcast TV channels, we are in real time streaming error, maybe cloudflare product team didn’t get the memo yet

GemSi•12/30/24, 2:36 AM

it seems like my I paid $5 for Stream and It just Free plan that why I can just use email for webhook, It stated that if I'm in zones on a Free plan, i must has at least one zone in Professional plan or higher.

GemSi•12/30/24, 2:37 AM

It makes me confusing now

1984 Ford LaserOP•12/30/24, 2:40 AM

Where are you setting up webhooks? Do you want to receive webhooks for video uploads or streams starting/stopping?

GemSi•12/30/24, 2:44 AM

just for streams starting/stopping. I set up it in Notification dashboard, It has sent to my email when I start/stop streaming and just for email cannot find other methods anywhere

1984 Ford LaserOP•12/30/24, 2:47 AM

Webhooks for Stream are included in the normal Stream subscription according to here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/notification-available/#stream

When I set up a new notification for Stream, the screenshot is what I see, and I add my own URL for webhook

I am using CloudFlare Stream : Live Input (webRTC [WHIP / WHEP]) services w/ Calls : Turn server. Utilizing SDK's in my API to control setup and management in my CF account. Very easy to integrate and use. Getting < 100ms latency on peer-to-peer connections. Extremely real time. Video quality is solid, and utilizes variable bit rate based on the network conditions. I server live video to a global viewerbase with minimal issues. I understand some parts of Stream are still in Beta mode, yet there are no direct issues effecting my delivery. 5% of viewers occasionally experience a 30 second black screen (no video / audio) when attemtping to connect to the stream, but I may have ruled this out to poor configuration on my end (still experimenting with STUN / TURN server setups in my client code). All in all, a solid solution that exceeds any services provided by AWS. CloudFlare is kicking butt with this one.

1984 Ford LaserOP•1/3/25, 11:08 PM

To add my 2cents, I have been using RTMP to deliver video to many thousands of viewers this year without issue. I have tested the LL-RTMP option and have found latency to be under 10 seconds, with quality still being great. No complaints from viewers on quality, unless we're sending an already low bit-rate feed

(we deliver from bonded 4G connections so the ingest bitrate can get crunchy at times lol)
