We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but we are facing critical challenges due to the sudden disappearance of our videos. This issue has significantly impacted our work, and recovering them is of utmost importance to us. Since our previous ticket was closed, we have opened a new one, and we are fully committed to taking any necessary steps to restore the videos—including covering any associated costs if needed. Your support in resolving this matter would mean a great deal to us.
We’re reaching out with a deep sense of urgency and concern. Unfortunately, we’re unable to log in to the support platform using our Cloudflare dashboard credentials, which means we can’t respond under our original ticket. Because of this, we had no choice but to open a new one.
Our business is losing revenue every single day due to the videos being unavailable, and we’re truly struggling to find a solution. We had a similar situation last year, and your team was incredibly supportive in restoring the videos from your backup servers. That help meant the world to us.
We’re hoping—more than anything—that it’s possible to do the same again. We are willing to cover any costs necessary to make it happen. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to expedite the process.
We appreciate your time, effort, and any help you can provide.
Hi, I have a problem with the stream service. Videos at random times return the message ‘server IP address cannot be found’ not only in the stream frame on my site, but also in the cloudflare panel when trying to run a video from a link. The problem occurs several times a day After a while, everything returns to normal and the video works correctly Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
As a note for the Stream PM, I'd love some more documentation on how we can use ad-urlad-url and also some further ways to control/customize it in some way. I'm not super familiar with how VAST works but any extra stuff that can be added here would be great
By default, videos on Stream can be viewed by anyone with just a video id. If you want to make your video private by default and only give access to certain users, you can use the signed URL feature. When you mark a video to require signed URL, it can no longer be accessed publicly with only the video id. Instead, the user will need a signed url...
Hello, i pay $5 a month for stream and images, i want to confirm that these are pre paid credits and that there i no possibility of running up a big bill larger than the $5 a month, like some of the horror stories we here from AWS etc. e.g. when the limit runs out on stream does it just stop serving media and images.
No you’re paying $5 for a storage limit. Playback is what causes extra cost, though IIRC there is some included in that. Require signed playback URLs to limit exposure
Would that solution be something like only allowing a user to watch a video x amount of times before stopping them etc. How do media heavy companies deal with this where a user could pay for an item and possibly watch it endlessly, e.g. Udemy.
Usually its about scale. The viewers who watch only a couple videos a month will subsidize the higher usage users
For a simple solution, you could set a timer on the frontend that for every minute the video is playing, a user's ID and watchtime is pushed to a DB or something that you track and use as you need. Perhaps users log in to access content, lock out their account when they reach a specific viewtime
Appreciate the advice, do you happen to know if stream supports watch time or that is something I need to handle on the front end? I am a back end engineer using htmx so I don’t have much experience with front end work.
Hello folks, Im using the stream API to upload videos, we are currently in testing phase, so I usually delete all videos using the SDK before uploading a bunch of videos.
However, after several 30-37 seconds videos (15-16MB) uploaded, I get the following:
{"result":null,"success":false,"errors":[{"code":10011,"message":"Storage capacity exceeded: You have exceeded your allocated storage quota. Delete videos or purchase more minutes to continue uploading content."}],"messages":[{"code":10011,"message":"You have uploaded 1080.00 minutes and are allocated 1000 minutes."}]}
when I go to stream dashboard page, I can see: Storage Capacity You have 27 videos in your Stream library. You have 15 minutes of video content in your Stream library. Your storage capacity is 1,000 minutes (98% remaining).
Im wondering, is there a mismatch between the API and the dashboard? and what happens to deleted videos? do you actually delete them or they are just hidden?
