I'm try to snapshot a frame from video (saved on R2) by stream/Transformations. But there is a limition: "Input video must be less than 40MB". Why and how to skip this input limitation? I just want a frame, maybe the video size doesn't matter

Transformations are a new feature, the input limitations will be relaxed in the future. If your video was stored on Stream, you could use the clipping feature to produce a small MP4 video, then run that through Transformations

Bbonakor hey, did you ever manage to do it?

Kevin McArdle - Stream Works•5/13/25, 12:36 PM

Nope

Dm me if you want some feedback on what did work

I am facing an issue while implementing upload via link functionality
the video url given in the cloudstream docs for upload via link is uploading completely fine on cloudstream
but the url I am trying to upload is giving this error

can you please tell me why??
this is my url - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sLZQQX3cbeUcKbJc6CeX1MmDNjW7sa_Z/view?usp=drive_link
this url is in cloudflare docs https://storage.googleapis.com/zaid-test/Watermarks%20Demo/cf-ad-original.mp4

Upload with a link

If you have videos stored in a cloud storage bucket, you can pass a HTTP link for the file, and Stream will fetch the file on your behalf.

Try uploading to R2 and using the link from that

Hello,
I'm new to the group and new to using Cloudflare.
I want to serve media (MPEG-DASH and .ts files) through Cloudflare's CDN from my hosted server.
Is Cloudflare suitable for this use case, or is it not recommended? Would using Cloudflare R2 or Cloudflare Stream be the best practice to accomplish this?

1984 Ford Laser•5/15/25, 7:03 AM

Stream will be best. If you went to R2, you would need to transcode or convert to HLS yourself, whereas Stream will handle MPEG-DASH and TS by default (I have uploaded plenty of 2+ hour TS files no worries)

Hey I'm trying to use the Stream SDK to play videos when they are scrolled into view.

crow•5/15/25, 3:42 PM

The issue is that only the first video gets played. On subsequent videos, the handleSeen function is triggered with the correct video_id, but they do not get played.

Does a subscription downgrade only apply at the end of a billing cycle, whereas a sub increase will apply immediately? (Referring to adding/subtracting storage minutes)

frigjord•5/23/25, 12:59 PM

Hm, the HLS manifest is always empty (204 no content), but there is a live input and I see the stream. I've tried with multiple methods, only WebRTC works. Is HLS not working?

Jessasaurus•5/23/25, 7:30 PM

is there a way to manage or tell like what webhooks actions CF can send and that?

Jessasaurus•5/23/25, 7:57 PM

Also im trying to use this API call
/accounts/{account_id}/stream/live_inputs/{live_input_identifier}/outputs
to Retrieves all outputs associated with a specified live input. but all im getting back is this

"success": true,

dont seem right

Feature Request: when a user is uploading a video, the current percentage of the upload should be tracked and made available to other users when a video is in the

stage, we have many users who upload to our account and it would be super helpful to get upload percentage on our end

Where's official support in regards to high FPS streams? I just tried out a 120FPS RTMP stream which streamed fine, but when I downloaded the video afterwards as an MP4 it was 90FPS. I have a GOP of 3sec or 360 frames too

Huxy•5/25/25, 1:40 PM

I have a question, how best can I add my domain on the generated RTMP. for example instead of :

rtmps://live.cloudflare.com:443/live/

rtmps://live.cloudflare.com:443/live/

to have :

rtmps://live.pyxsy.io/live/

rtmps://live.pyxsy.io/live/

I want to hide cloudflare , is this possible ?

mizticNZ•5/25/25, 2:34 PM

yep, find the 'add custom domain' in the docs

mizticNZ•5/25/25, 2:35 PM

https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/stream-live/custom-domains/

Cloudflare Docs

Add custom ingest domains

With custom ingest domains, you can configure your RTMPS feeds to use an ingest URL that you specify instead of using live.cloudflare.com.

Huxy•5/25/25, 3:00 PM

Thanks @mizticNZ

Huxy•5/25/25, 3:27 PM

Does this implies to the hls as well ? @mizticNZ

mizticNZ•5/25/25, 3:28 PM

it'll apply to everything

frigjord•5/25/25, 3:50 PM

Except WebRTC where custom domain doesn't work

Huxy•5/25/25, 3:56 PM

Ok thanks

Having some issues with uploading videos that are interlaced, sometimes we seem to be getting really bad encodes where the interlacing isn't handled correctly

1984 Ford Laser•5/27/25, 2:37 AM

I assume that Stream dash and tus uploads follow the same 1200/5min API rate limit that applies in general to CF endpoints? So in theory if I had a bunch of users uploading at the same time to the one account, we may run into rate limit issues

Do you need to add more stream minutes stored?

both stream minutes stored and minutes of video delivered per month

JJessasaurus both stream minutes stored and minutes of video delivered per month

Jessasaurus•5/27/25, 10:40 PM

but the Creator Bundle give 10,000 minutes of video stored and 50,000 minutes of video delivered per month where the starter plan i'm using right now only give 1,000 and 5,000 minutes..

1984 Ford Laser•5/27/25, 10:45 PM

When you click Change Subscription, you get this page. I wonder if the $50 option is the creator bundle? Otherwise I imagine you would need to cancel then re-subscribe. Do you think you will need all of the minutes that the Creator Bundle provides?

Jessasaurus•5/28/25, 12:23 AM

the fact that usage for minutes of video delivered is just over 34,000 minutes this month.. and we only started using stream end of April I would say soo

1984 Ford Laser•5/28/25, 12:49 AM

But I guess if you had the Creator Bundle you would pay 50 regardless of usage, where your 34k usage would only be $34. If you expect usage to well exceed $50 a month soon, I wouldnt bother too much with the sub change

Jessasaurus•5/28/25, 12:56 AM

we could easily exceed that

1984 Ford Laser•5/28/25, 3:16 AM

Then don't bother with the hassle

I'm try to snapshot a frame from video (saved on R2) by stream/Transformations. But there is a limit
