1If you were to transcode on your end, then deliver using #r2 , costs would be lower
1Agreed
JI'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
1Im unsure of how easy Bunny Stream is to implement, but the costing and ease of usability of CF Stream is good
1I 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
Jthats good to know @1984 Ford Laser
JWhat was the old platform out of interest?
JI'm just getting some clarification on that @gtech9451
Jthe product is called Stream, so you'd hope so...
Jaccording to their AI chat:
J
GOther thing to be aware; you might need to use Bunny's CDN - so if you're using Cloudflare, double check
GWe noticed that if we wanted to use the Image Optimization/Offloading; we had to use their CDN
JAh, interesting. That's probably not a deal breaker, but good to know. Thanks.
1Dacast, 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
1Not sure if its this?

VHi,
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:
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
1You might need to leave in a trailing slash on the URL? I've had that issue before with LiveU and AWS Medialive
VTrailing slash? Can you give me an example
1Yeah this
1lmao.com 
VThanks will give it a try
Mwith stream, i see there is a ad-url part, is there a way to insert ads server side (SSAI)?
1Only client-side currently
Mbummer - so adblockers could do their thing?
1Yeah you'd need to use something else prior to Stream in the pipeline to handle that
1yo can we get casting support built into the player somehow
BHello, 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:
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:
- Request completely sent off
- schannel: remote party requests renegotiation
- schannel: renegotiating SSL/TLS connection
- schannel: SSL/TLS connection renegotiated

JHii, does live stream supports Hotlinking/Allowed Origins Protections
1Have you tried using the HLS link from the video that gets generated by the live input?
1You can require signed tokens for live streams, or creating your own domain protection flow on the client-side
THey folks. Is there any option to try Stream without buying a plan?
JOkay but how would had protect from someone finding the embed link in the code, and sharing it publicly
Jtrying to run the example Cloudflare Worker script to gererate the tokens the site is giving me this error "No event handlers were registered. This script does nothing."
1You can do Allowed Origins Only on videos, so if you were to embed the vidoe generated by a live input once it goes live, you would be protected
JThats for uploaded videos no? not the live stream player?
1When a live stream starts, a video is generated. You can use the webhook which is fired when a stream starts, to find that video, and restrict its allowed origins. Then you would embed that video instead of the stream itself
Jokay? how?
1I would write a simple Worker that responds to the
stream.connected webhook (or whatever its called) and make the necessary changes, and then embed it where necessary. That will depend on your specific needs/requirementsJokay? again how?? never used workers or Cloudflare in general, only requirements to protect what will be a pay to watch live stream
1sorry I can't write the code for you. You could just edit the origins and embed after the live video has been created, allow some of 'pre-show' to do so
1Does this page help at all, if you haven't read it already? https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/viewing-videos/securing-your-stream/#_top

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...
1Your front-end page would call a
/token endpoint provided by Stream, to be able to only render the stream if your UI provides the correct credentials1That would still require setting the video's
requiredSignedURLs to true
