Yep. I'm getting the same.

Starting to get requests through now, though.

But it’s strange we still don’t see any status page update.

Stream Availability Issues

1984 Ford Laser•4/17/25, 1:59 AM

Minor UI complaint: when browsing the list of live inputs, you should let me open each one in a new tab! Currently I have to open them one by one, when Im trying to get through a dozen at once its frustrating

1984 Ford Laser•4/18/25, 7:23 AM

When generating an MP4 download, are there any particulars around speed, or when generating multiple clips at a time? Would be good to be able to predict load times as I usually have a bulk lot (5-20 3hour videos) to generate more or less at once, get an idea of how the OTE encoder operates im that regard

Theonlydreamy•4/18/25, 5:37 PM

hello im having trouble locating signed urls in Cloudlfare where do i go to get it

Qubit•4/18/25, 10:53 PM

hey are these limitations for stream webrtc still up to date. specifically, i was wondering if we could WHIP from video source to CF then play with RTMP or WHEP. thanks

What are you trying to do exactly?

Focux•4/21/25, 2:43 PM

If I were to create an app to live-stream my league games, like live and real-time, should I reach for the real-time product or CF Stream?

1984 Ford Laser•4/21/25, 9:06 PM

Stream

Focux•4/21/25, 9:11 PM

any reason why?

Focux•4/21/25, 9:12 PM

someone told me that it depends on how much latency i want

1984 Ford Laser•4/21/25, 9:12 PM

Stream is for streaming video, Realtime is for streaming data (could be video)

1984 Ford Laser•4/21/25, 9:12 PM

Stream has WebRTC streaming if you want low latency

1984 Ford Laser•4/21/25, 9:13 PM

If you're streaming video games then latency really doesn't matter

Focux•4/21/25, 9:18 PM

well, makes sense

Focux•4/21/25, 9:18 PM

although they are marketing CF Realtime for videos and audio as well

Cloudflare Docs

Overview · Cloudflare Realtime docs

Cloudflare Realtime is infrastructure for real-time audio/video/data applications. It allows you to build real-time apps without worrying about scaling or regions. It can act as a selective forwarding unit (WebRTC SFU), as a fanout delivery system for broadcasting (WebRTC CDN) or anything in between.

Focux•4/21/25, 9:19 PM

but ya, a few seconds latency doesn't matter for my usecase

1984 Ford Laser•4/21/25, 9:19 PM

Stream charges per minute viewed, Realtime charges per GB so will probs end up being more expensive in the long run

1984 Ford Laser•4/21/25, 9:20 PM

Realtime wont record your streams into VODs, or generate thumbnails, or let you download the stream, or embed the stream

Focux•4/21/25, 9:24 PM

yeah, that's right, i think the choice is clear now

Focux•4/21/25, 9:24 PM

thanks for the info

Joel•4/22/25, 7:11 AM

Are we still quite a ways off from having an input stream and output stream of differing formats? Specifically, I have a use case where I need to stream in with SRT and output to WHEP. Stream seems like the perfect product for this, rather than running a conversion gateway locally to produce a WHIP stream.

joe-dev•4/22/25, 7:55 AM

Is there anyone that can sanity check some of my pricing calculations?

joe-dev•4/22/25, 7:55 AM

20,000 viewers of 1200 minutes per month.

$1 per 1000 minutes = $0.001 per minute.

Cost per user: 0.001 * 1200 = $1.20

Total cost per month: 20,000 * 1.2 = $24000

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 10:51 AM

Do you have existing accurate analytics to support your view numbers, or just basing off rough numbers? Your math is correct, but its very rare that a viewer will be watching long form content for the entire time. I do many regular 3 hour streams, with hundreds of total views, and average 5-25K minutes viewed per stream. Which means each viewer is only watching a small portion of the total runtime on average

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 10:53 AM

Definitely curious on this one, would open some cool use cases

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 10:59 AM

I've asked this before, but with the Browser Rendering API and OTFE platform slowly maturing over time, is there possibility for being able to inject a HTML5 browser instance over the top of a live stream? That and input switching would be the only things I need to entirely transition from AWS

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:05 AM

Yeah, this is all theoretical; on behalf of a client I'm doing consulting for. I too, think the numbers are ambitious, but I have to give them a cost based on their figures

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:06 AM

From pure math, the cost is legit. But in my experience (2000 videos per year), CF Stream is the cheapest around without having huge bandwidth/view numbers (many millions)

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:07 AM

Do you happen to know if there's any price breaks for large users? there's no mentions on the site

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:08 AM

Enterprise starts at 3K per month but I've had no concrete confirmation of price cut numbers because I'm below that monthly minimum usage

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:09 AM

interesting

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:09 AM

it seems that Bunny is quite competitive

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:10 AM

On Bunny, you pay for encode as well as viewing right? And its per GB instead of per min?

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:10 AM

Stream comes up cheaper cos someone viewing at 1080P costs the same as someone viewing at 360P

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:12 AM

from a conversation with them it's a fair bit cheaper at volume

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:12 AM

the client is also assuming that everyone will view at 1080p :/

Jjoe-dev the client is also assuming that everyone will view at 1080p :/

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:12 AM

Yeah that won't happen lmao

Jjoe-dev from a conversation with them it's a fair bit cheaper at volume

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:12 AM

I'd be interested to know what 'volume' starts at

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:13 AM

I think it's mostly to work out worst case scenarios

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:14 AM

over 166TB of bandwidth is 'send enquiry'

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:14 AM

What bandwidth numbers have you calculated at your estimated view numbers?

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:14 AM

560TB

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:15 AM

in reality it should be a lot lower, but worst case scenario...

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:16 AM

Are you doing streams or VODs?

joe-dev•4/22/25, 11:16 AM

both
