24/7 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.

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

Have you read through the docs on using the player? https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/viewing-videos/using-the-stream-player/using-the-player-api/

For further control and customization, we provide an additional JavaScript SDK that you can use to control video playback and listen for media events.

also the stream is stoping from time to time

Kevin | IlanodiasOP•2/21/25, 11:55 AM

but we still sending

1984 Ford Laser•2/21/25, 12:07 PM

I 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

Kevin | IlanodiasOP•2/21/25, 12:27 PM

ok. thank you. And how would i stop that recording? We dont need it and it fills just space

1984 Ford Laser•2/21/25, 12:40 PM

For 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

Huxy•2/22/25, 8:25 PM

Hi 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

1984 Ford Laser•2/22/25, 10:05 PM

You'll have to do this off-platform

For 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?

1984 Ford Laser•2/23/25, 2:25 AM

Per stream, the recommendation is to use the video ID which is generated once the stream goes live

Huxy•2/23/25, 8:30 AM

This is amazing @1984 Ford Laser

Huxy•2/23/25, 8:31 AM

How 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 ?

1984 Ford Laser•2/23/25, 8:47 AM

With 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

Huxy•2/23/25, 8:53 AM

Wow, amazing, this is all I wanted, let me test it with HLS

Huxy•2/23/25, 12:30 PM

Just 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 ?

HID3FICIT•2/24/25, 4:36 AM

Is it possible for me to secure a live stream

HID3FICIT•2/24/25, 4:36 AM

???

dot•2/24/25, 11:19 AM

Is 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

I 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.

uppy
.use(DragDrop, { target: "#drag-drop-area" })
.use(Tus, {
    endpoint: "http://localhost:3000/videouploadURL",
    chunkSize: 52428800,
})

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."

 "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.

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.

1984 Ford Laser•2/25/25, 10:14 PM

This is the first line in the docs for tus uploads

1984 Ford Laser•2/25/25, 10:15 PM

If its below that, just do a basic upload with the API

Spotnag•2/25/25, 10:36 PM

It says recommend, though not that it doesn’t work. But yes I will just do that.

1984 Ford Laser•2/26/25, 12:11 AM

And 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

Hello

, 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.

1984 Ford Laser•2/26/25, 10:24 PM

I wouldn't rely on the IPs always being those 4, CF will rotate IPs regularly depending on the situation

pls has anyone had their videos restored after a stream subscription lapse?

1984 Ford Laser•2/27/25, 9:29 AM

If you pay the bill yes

alp•2/27/25, 11:11 AM

bills paid... videos deleted on the cloudflare stream.... how do i recorver them?

1984 Ford Laser•2/27/25, 11:30 AM

They wouldnt have been deleted because the bill wasnt paid. You will need to restore them from a backup that you have

HHuxy Hi @1984 Ford Laser , do you have any idea of this; https://discord.com/channels...

1984 Ford Laser•3/1/25, 1:25 PM

There is a webhook that is sent when streams finish, otherwise in the specific case of the DVR feature, a user would have to reload their frontend

Huxy•3/1/25, 1:26 PM

Ok thanks

Huxy•3/2/25, 8:28 PM

I was playing around with the DVR, with an hls link which was streaming past 7 hours, but when I add the dvrEnabled=true it doesnt work why? I enabled the recording and the videos are there.

Another issue, when the stream loses connectivity , the recoreded videos is stopped and a new one is created does the DVR combine them by default if it works?

1984 Ford Laser•3/2/25, 10:25 PM

You need to read the docs on the DVR feature (below isn't directly copied from docs, but the page does explain things)

Manifests are limited to 7200 segments, so depending on your keyframe interval you will probably hit that limit after a number of hours
The DVR won't combine the different streams together. There is a small timeout period where the stream will wait for a reconnection before splitting into a new stream

Hey, I'm trying to test the WebRTC live-streaming feature and seeing some issues.
I managed to get a WHIP live input working (see attached image). I'm also aware of the beta limitations (https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/webrtc-beta/#limitations-while-in-beta), and to my understanding I should be able to consume this stream using WHEP. However, with every player I've tried so far the stream failed to load.

Additional context that might be relevant -
For this test I'm using an RTSP test stream with H.264 encoding (on MediaMTX) and publishing to cloudflare using a gstreamer pipeline with "whipsink" (which is listed as gst-plugins-rs here - https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/webrtc-beta/#whip).

Did anyone manage to get this feature to work?
I'm currently subscribed to the live-streaming service based solely on this use-case - I'd really appreciate your help getting it to work (or at least some pointers on how to debug this further). :MeowHeartCloudflare:

Mmatanso Hey, I'm trying to test the WebRTC live-streaming feature and seeing some issues...

1984 Ford Laser•3/6/25, 9:16 AM

To me it looks like the issue might be on the MediaMTX side. CF is only receiving 200kbps which is obviously incorrect which means something about your pipeline is not working

Voxus•3/6/25, 9:19 AM

I want to host a video editor SaaS, where I need to store high quality versions of files for rendering and want to get low quality previews for displaying in my editor. Can I use R2 or MUST use Stream for this? And would Stream allow me to retrieve the originally uploaded file?

Voxus•3/6/25, 9:21 AM

It's not against their TOS?

Voxus•3/6/25, 9:21 AM

I got so confused

Voxus•3/6/25, 9:21 AM

Since it says serving large video files from R2 is not what they want

1984 Ford Laser•3/6/25, 9:22 AM

think HLS manifest/segments

1984 Ford Laser•3/6/25, 9:22 AM

or if youre encoding low enough quality you might be right. I think its best to keep filesize below 500MB to be safe?

Voxus•3/6/25, 9:23 AM

Okay that's fair, and so if I didnt convert into smaller videos, and just served the larger files in my editor that'd be against TOS?

Voxus•3/6/25, 9:23 AM

It's not a classic streaming site use case that's why I'm confused

MMD yeah, and it'd be a terrible user experience cos you're asking them to download ...

Voxus•3/6/25, 9:24 AM

yes absolutely hence why I wanna generate a low quality preview
