Can watermarks still be added to videos that have already been uploaded to the stream
Can watermarks still be added to videos that have already been uploaded to the stream
1Nah you need to reupload
GHi, 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?

1As a note for the Stream PM, I'd love some more documentation on how we can use
ad-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
BHi, any Idea how to signed WebRTC Playback URL ? so only logged in people have access to webrtc whep url
BI tried using example https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/viewing-videos/securing-your-stream/#option-2-generating-signed-tokens-without-calling-the-token-endpoint but won't work
Cloudflare Docs
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...

SHello, 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.
DNo 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
Si want to be sure that exposure ends when i hit my bandwidth limit, even with require signed playback URL's.
1You can't without a self developed solution
SWould 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.
1Usually 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

SAppreciate 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.
1Nah you'll need to handle on the frontend. The builtin Stream player will emit events like

play, playing, progress that may be of helphttps://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/viewing-videos/using-the-stream-player/using-the-player-api/

HIm having the same issue but I’m trying to do it to a live stream. Is it possible ?
KHello 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?
Thanks in advance!

K24/7 Stream + WordPress Optimization (Design)
We using ffmpeg for a Radio Studio Live Stream. It shows all the time that the stream just runs arround 30minutes. How we can change that. It would be a 24/7 Stream, so we also dont need a recording of that stream. Also whats the best way to change the design of the Cloudflare Player. We dont need “Live Count” or the timeline for skipping back and forward.

1Can you reproduce the 30mins behaviour when streaming through a client like OBS?

Kalso the stream is stoping from time to time
Kbut we still sending
1I would say its more likely to be on the ffmpeg side than anything. Try it out from a regular streaming client and see how you go. I personally have done dozens of streams being 3+ hours long, with the longest going for like 10 hours with no problem
Kok. thank you. And how would i stop that recording? We dont need it and it fills just space 
1For a 24/7 stream, I would set up a cron function that restarts the stream once a day. Using the webhooks for Stream when a stream starts/stops, invoke a Worker to delete the video
HHi e everyone, if I have recorded videos, how best can I merge the videos, I got some internet connection, so videos broke down into 2
1You'll have to do this off-platform
1For anyone that hasn't noticed, Stream now has DVR mode for Live! https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/stream-live/dvr-for-live/
Great new feature, do I need this enabled for my account or just per stream?
Great new feature, do I need this enabled for my account or just per stream?
1Per stream, the recommendation is to use the video ID which is generated once the stream goes live
HThis is amazing @1984 Ford Laser
HHow can one know that stream ended on the API, tather than deleting, I wanted to auto play, what was streamed (recoreded), without maunally getting HLS from streamed videos section ?
1With this new DVR feature, if you use the embed code/manifest from the video generated by the stream, instead of the live input itself, the manifest will automatically transition to a vod automatically upon completion
HWow, amazing, this is all I wanted, let me test it with HLS
HJust a quick one, do we have statuses, that the stream has ended ? @1984 Ford Laser , for the vod to be replayed? or once the ingestions stops from the livestream source (camera , obs, etc), then it starts right away ?
HIs it possible for me to secure a live stream
H???
DIs there a way to send an heartbeat through webrtc ?
I'm handling auto-reconnect in a few secs but would like to lower this time to sub 1 or 2sec

SI am having issues with TUS uploads. In go i initiate the TUS video upload to get the url . i set the headers as in the docs and send it to the front end which is using uppy / TUS.
But i am getting the error:
It looks like the request PATCH method request headers is showing Content-Length: 3473234 which is the size of my file and the content length i set when i retrieved the url from cloudflare.
Surely TUS is handling this and correctly and if the file size is not divisible by 256 it pads it or something?
The video is 3.4mb in size. Does TUS only work on larger files?...
** FYI i just uploaded a 300mb video with the same chunk size and it worked fine. It looks like only videos smaller than 5mb (the min chunk size) fail to upload.
Can anyone confirm if a file must be larger than the minimum chunk size AND a file must be larger than the set chunk size, so that there are atleast more than one chunk.
uppy
.use(DragDrop, { target: "#drag-drop-area" })
.use(Tus, {
endpoint: "http://localhost:3000/videouploadURL",
chunkSize: 52428800,
})But i am getting the error:
"Non-256KiB chunk size multiple: The chunk size value is not divisible by 256KiB. Enter a value divisible by 256KiB (256x1024 bytes) and try again."It looks like the request PATCH method request headers is showing Content-Length: 3473234 which is the size of my file and the content length i set when i retrieved the url from cloudflare.

1This is the first line in the docs for tus uploads
1If its below that, just do a basic upload with the API
SIt says recommend, though not that it doesn’t work. But yes I will just do that.
1And if you read the rest of that page, you'd know the minimum chunk size is 5MB, so just do a simple check where if file size is below a certain amount just defer to the API upload or something
MHello 
, good afternoon, it's a pleasure to be talking to you.
I work with captive portal, and I implemented Cloudflare Stream to make Walled Garden releases a little easier by having a single domain to play the video.
One thing I noticed is that the IP resolution for this domain always returns 4 IPV4 IPs and 4 IPV6 IPs, and always the same.
I am aware that Cloudflare has thousands of IP's, but taking into account that I only operate in one country, can I assume that the resolution will always be on the same IP's or will there be a rotation?
I ask because releasing IPs in the Walled garden would help me avoid problems with access points that don't translate Domains in an intelligent way.

1I wouldn't rely on the IPs always being those 4, CF will rotate IPs regularly depending on the situation
Apls has anyone had their videos restored after a stream subscription lapse?
1If you pay the bill yes
