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

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 11:12 AM

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

Yeah that won't happen lmao

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:12 AM

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

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 11:13 AM

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

joe-devOP•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-devOP•4/22/25, 11:14 AM

560TB

joe-devOP•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-devOP•4/22/25, 11:16 AM

both

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 11:16 AM

they're expecting around a 50/50 split

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 11:16 AM

but it's all theoretical, I think these numbers are way off

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:16 AM

If you were to transcode on your end, then deliver using #r2 , costs would be lower

Jjoe-dev but it's all theoretical, I think these numbers are way off

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:16 AM

Agreed

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 11:17 AM

I've heard about doing that with r2, but they're keen for something stupid simple, so I'm not going to throw it in the mix yet

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:17 AM

Im unsure of how easy Bunny Stream is to implement, but the costing and ease of usability of CF Stream is good

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:18 AM

I was able to transition 12 streams on the fly within 5 minutes to Cloudflare due to an outage with our old streaming provider and haven't looked back. Very easy to use

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 12:21 PM

thats good to know @1984 Ford Laser

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 12:21 PM

What was the old platform out of interest?

Jjoe-dev both

gtech9451•4/22/25, 2:51 PM

Does bunny provide live streaming? I thought it was just VOD?

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 3:04 PM

I'm just getting some clarification on that @gtech9451

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 3:04 PM

the product is called Stream, so you'd hope so...

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 3:13 PM

according to their AI chat:

gtech9451•4/22/25, 4:18 PM

Other thing to be aware; you might need to use Bunny's CDN - so if you're using Cloudflare, double check

gtech9451•4/22/25, 4:18 PM

We noticed that if we wanted to use the Image Optimization/Offloading; we had to use their CDN

joe-devOP•4/22/25, 10:01 PM

Ah, interesting. That's probably not a deal breaker, but good to know. Thanks.

Jjoe-dev What was the old platform out of interest?

1984 Ford Laser•4/22/25, 11:22 PM

Dacast, was a platform used by my workplace before I started. Was okay for vod streaming, but failed us multiple times for live. CF Stream has been rock solid and very cost effective, greatly lowering yearly costs for streaming

1984 Ford Laser•4/23/25, 3:50 AM

Not sure if its this?

Hi,

I'm having issues with Sony's Creator APP SRT streaming on their cameras to cloudflare servers.

Does anyone know how I can get it to work? These are the only fields available.

Things I've tried:

copy full CF URL into URL field
copy a portion of the CF URL into URL field and enable encryption and added passphrase
added passphrase/stream id into passphrase field

So far none has worked. Any help would be amazing

1984 Ford Laser•4/24/25, 7:46 AM

You might need to leave in a trailing slash on the URL? I've had that issue before with LiveU and AWS Medialive

vi3t•4/24/25, 8:19 AM

Trailing slash? Can you give me an example

MMD if your url is https://lmao.com/wow-amazing then adding a slash at the end would...

1984 Ford Laser•4/24/25, 9:27 AM

Yeah this

1984 Ford Laser•4/24/25, 9:27 AM

vi3t•4/24/25, 1:43 PM

Thanks will give it a try

mizticNZ•4/24/25, 4:04 PM

with stream, i see there is a ad-url part, is there a way to insert ads server side (SSAI)?

1984 Ford Laser•4/25/25, 3:18 AM

Only client-side currently

mizticNZ•4/25/25, 3:27 AM

bummer - so adblockers could do their thing?

1984 Ford Laser•4/25/25, 3:27 AM

Yeah you'd need to use something else prior to Stream in the pipeline to handle that

1984 Ford Laser•4/25/25, 8:03 AM

yo can we get casting support built into the player somehow

BryanO•4/25/25, 4:37 PM

Hello, I am experiencing an issue I can't solve. Essentially this link works and is showing the active live stream:
https://customer-${my_account_id}.cloudflarestream.com/${my_live_stream_id}/iframe

But this link (HLS Manifest URL) doesnt work at all (Http response is 204 No content)
https://customer-${my_account_id}.cloudflarestream.com/${my_live_stream_id}/manifest/video.m3u8

I tried to use the link in my VLC player and it can't be played.

curl -v to that link shows this:

Hii, does live stream supports Hotlinking/Allowed Origins Protections

BBryanO Hello, I am experiencing an issue I can't solve. Essentially this link works and...

1984 Ford Laser•4/26/25, 12:45 AM

Have you tried using the HLS link from the video that gets generated by the live input?

JJessasaurus Hii, does live stream supports Hotlinking/Allowed Origins Protections

1984 Ford Laser•4/26/25, 12:46 AM

You can require signed tokens for live streams, or creating your own domain protection flow on the client-side

Timadiss•4/26/25, 11:38 AM

Hey folks. Is there any option to try Stream without buying a plan?
