I am developing locally and am trying to transfer large videos from R2 to Stream and hitting the size limit issue.

What would be the best way to handle this? can you actually send a tus request via worker without a browser? Would this work on server?

https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/resumable-uploads/

Or is should I create a R2 link via S3 only on a real R2 bucket, because I don't think we can do this on local testing??

Is the file already in R2 when you want to upload it? Use this method, super simple: https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/upload-via-link/
Just a HTTP request

Edit: just noticed you said locally. No idea how that changes things

1984 Ford Laser•3/14/25, 2:19 AM

I have given a member access only to Stream on my account, to edit the content on my Stream account. When they navigate to the Stream section of the dash, the videos load, but then 2 auth errors appear, and the dash reloads repeatedly over and over. Bug or intended?

1984 Ford Laser•3/14/25, 2:22 AM

When the dash checks the user's subscription to the Stream service, the call fails as this member doesn't have the sub, but my account does. The following endpoint: /subscriptions?package=prod_stream/subscriptions?package=prod_stream throws a 403 Forbidden403 Forbidden

1984 Ford Laser•3/14/25, 2:26 AM

I would love the option to restrict a member to only access the Videos on my Stream account, not being able to touch the Live Inputs. I understand the intention is that I should build my own UI to handle this, but I feel this shouldn't be a major change that would save a bunch of dev cost for me

1984 Ford Laser•3/15/25, 6:09 AM

Seems Media Transformations aren't working for me. I have obvs enabled transformations for my zone, anything else I need to do? Have tried with a public R2 file but no luck

If I take the example URL provided in the docs, and transplant my zone and R2 file, it errors with Unknown HostUnknown Host

1984 Ford Laser•3/15/25, 6:40 AM

big dumb it was because I didn't have any DNS records for my root domain

1984 Ford Laser•3/15/25, 6:43 AM

For anyone using Media Transformations in prod, you might want to 'prewarm' the URLs before you deploy them. The first encode obviously takes some time to run, so you wouldn't want a user to be faced with 10+ second load times for a small video. Can't wait for limits to be raised on this feature, and introduce more options that are present in the image transformations such as drawdraw

Hello

Hijbullah•3/17/25, 6:27 AM

I need informamtion about stream.

we need to store some videos and want to play them inside our app. our app has 100+ videos and around 1k daily active users.
May I get HLS links to play inside my app?
And what is about image features in stream? If you want to store 100k images for 3M monthly users what will be apprx cost?

Hi, is this also the channel for calls?

f1l1b0x•3/17/25, 12:53 PM

I am trying to find out if I am missing information.

I am building a realtime app for video interactivity.
I need to scale webrtc video and data channels
It appears both calls and streams can do one to many whip in whep out.
I am missing information if i can add a rtc datachannel containing important metadata as rtc messages.
It seems with calls it is possible but not in streams.

What am I missing?

f1l1b0x•3/17/25, 2:05 PM

do I see it right that streams is more of a transcoding + delivery service for traditional web streaming while calls is exclusively for low latency chat applications (like mine) and does not include server side transcoding is the main difference?

Isaac McFadyen•3/17/25, 2:08 PM

Correct. Calls is just transport between clients (who handle encoding/decoding themselves). It relays normal WebRTC connections that are often used by calling platforms. Stream is more of an upload + transcode + playback-on-demand service.

f1l1b0x•3/17/25, 2:51 PM

Ok thank you

johnbs•3/17/25, 4:48 PM

Hey, we are using Streams mostly for WebRTC streaming for several months now, and since last Friday notifications are no longer working for live_input.connected, live_input.disconnected and live_input.errored. Neither webhooks, nor email notifications. The stream itself is working, correctly shown as online and can be viewed. But no notification. Anybody has an idea what's going on?

Rustam•3/17/25, 6:19 PM

Hello everyone! We're building ecommerce app for our clients and we need to integrate webrtc for the live stream. We have integrated Cloudflare live stream feature but the delay is more than 50 seconds. Could you please let me get the BETA account?

Arkadii•3/17/25, 6:36 PM

Hi, I am using webrtc for video streaming, via iOS and gstreamer on RPI, for a year everything worked without any problems, but after the update on March 13 I am facing that when I start the broadcast it shows me the status connected but without any metrics and the broadcast can be viewed in 1 out of 20 cases, in the documentation I didn't notice any changes, I don't understand what the problem is, the implementation on the two devices is different and worked without any problems.

Arkadii•3/17/25, 6:40 PM

also when i stop stream i am still connected, before status was changing immediately

f1l1b0x•3/18/25, 12:20 AM

@Isaac McFadyen is this the right place to ask calls related questions?

1984 Ford Laser•3/18/25, 12:36 AM

There's a #calls channel

Please do not ping community members for non-moderation reasons. Doing so will not solve your issue faster and will make people less likely to want to help you.

Are there any plans to allow deeper, more fine tuned control and access to the OTFE platform in the future, especially from within Workers directly?

Alex PattersonOP•3/19/25, 9:12 PM

i need to create two videos from one based on the people in the video. I know cloudinary has things like this https://cloudinary.com/documentation/video_resizing_and_cropping#auto_cropping_videos_to_focus_on_a_specified_object

Is there a way through an api to do this in cloudinary stream?

1984 Ford Laser•3/19/25, 9:24 PM

You can crop videos from a source video here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/transform-videos/

Its not an auto-crop, but you could combine with Workers AI maybe to build the functionality you're looking for

11984 Ford Laser You can crop videos from a source video here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/...

Alex PattersonOP•3/19/25, 9:35 PM

I believe this is for modifying an external video sitting in a R2 bucket or other available URL. I am really looking to manipulate the video already loaded to Stream so that I can split a two talking heads video to a have layers like in Opus Pro.

Maybe I could run through cloudinary or at least take a frame and send it to an image service to find the relevant faces then use Stream to crop?

It would be even more ideal to be able to do this via crop and not just allow for times

https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/stream/subresources/clip/methods/create/

Anyone know where to submit feature requests?

1984 Ford Laser•3/19/25, 9:36 PM

There's #workers-and-pages-feature-suggestions , but keep in mind the Media Transformations feature is new and being worked on actively. A proper crop mode is something that I hope would be available at some point. I also like your point of being able to transform videos diectly on Stream, adding the Media Transform options to the Stream clipping feature would be great

Hijbullah•3/20/25, 4:58 AM

Hello,
I would like to know about stream pricing. I have an app and want to store 100+ videos on Cloudflare, each with an average duration of 30 seconds. I also want to play these videos within my app.

Can I get HLS (m3u8) links, and what would be the price for 3,000 daily active users?

11984 Ford Laser 1. Yes 2. https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/pricing/

1984 Ford Laser•3/20/25, 5:00 AM

I have answered the first one previously. Yes.

Pricing will depend on how much each user watches. Its $1 per 1000 mins watched. Storage is $5 per 1000 mins stored

Hijbullah•3/20/25, 5:25 AM

Thanks for your answer. I need to be cleared in another service. For my website I want to store 30k images and want to just get these images to show in my website.
What will be the pricing? I'm not sure what is transformation mean.

1984 Ford Laser•3/20/25, 6:21 AM

WIll you just be storing and serving the images as is? Or will you use the transform options to modify the image before it is served? Transformation is only relevant for images that are transformed in some way before being served

1984 Ford Laser•3/20/25, 6:21 AM

Have you read the docs?
https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/transform-images/

Hijbullah•3/20/25, 6:37 AM

I'll just store and serve

DDuyet Hello guys! i need help . WHIP example code not found

Vanquish-•3/20/25, 11:07 PM

I found this 404 also. If you search google for WHIP / WHEP, you'll find some repos with the same example code in it from some other repos. Pretty standard ICE / peer connection stuff.

Vanquish-•3/20/25, 11:07 PM

Cloudflare has to update their docs. Certainly a couple stale resources in there

1984 Ford Laser•3/22/25, 11:14 PM

I'd love a post-paid storage option for Stream, we post 50+ 3 hour videos a week and it can be annoying having to watch the minutes

MrHebs•3/24/25, 3:42 AM

I'm having an issue where I've uploaded an additional audio track to a video and this completes fine and the audio track is visible and selectable in the player, however when selecting the alternate audio track the video will only play for about 32 seconds before pausing and showing the loading spinner. Attempting to skip later into the video also has the never-ending spinner on the video.

Switching back to the original audio track makes the video immediately resume playing with no issues.

The additional track is just to correct a sync issue that occurred in the live stream input so the MP3 (and MP4 audio, as I've tried both formats) is just trimmed by approximately a second at the start so the audio/video line up properly.

Playing the audio only track locally (both MP3 and MP4 audio) work fine with no glitches.

MMrHebs I'm having an issue where I've uploaded an additional audio track to a video and...

1984 Ford Laser•3/24/25, 5:06 AM

Is the new audio the same length as the original, just padded at the start/end with nothing?

MrHebs•3/24/25, 5:11 AM

The new audio track is deliberately 1-second (actually about 900ms) shorter than the original (about 27-minutes in total) based on the Stream documentation that says it will add silence to the end to pad the shorter track…this is so the audio syncs up right (this was due to a problem with the original live input…not due to stream).

I haven’t tried to pad the audio myself with silence at the end so it’s exactly the same length.

MMrHebs The new audio track is deliberately 1-second (actually about 900ms) shorter than...

1984 Ford Laser•3/24/25, 5:12 AM

Maybe try that and see what happens just out of curiosity. Weird case though

MrHebs•3/24/25, 5:12 AM

Yeah I might give that a go

I am developing locally and am trying to transfer large videos from R2 to Stream and hitting the siz
