Hello, I'm new to the group and new to using Cloudflare. I want to serve media (MPEG-DASH and .ts fi

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?

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.

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
{
"result": [],
"success": true,
"errors": [],
"messages": []
}
dont seem right

Have you created any live outputs previously? If not, then this is an exapected response

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

1984 Ford Laser•5/25/25, 6:05 AM

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?

Jessasaurus•5/27/25, 9:56 PM

both stream minutes stored and minutes of video delivered per month

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

1984 Ford Laser•5/27/25, 10:38 PM

If you scroll to the bottom of your videos page, you can upgrade the minutes stored. Minutes viewed you dont upgrade, you pay that at the end of billing cycle based on usage

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

Jessasaurus•5/28/25, 11:05 AM

when i would be having to paying more...... if i didn't upgrade the plan.....

Does anybody know what the lead time is for getting accepted into the public beta of RealtimeKit? I signed up a couple of weeks ago and haven't heard anything. We're about to start working on prototypes for a product that sounds very aligned to stream, but if we're not going to be into the beta for a while we might need to shop around a bit. Thanks!

1984 Ford Laser•6/3/25, 6:58 AM

That earlier test wasn't sending any audio, changed that but still consistent where it won't play beyond 2 seconds or so

Brad•6/4/25, 10:35 PM

Using the TUS uploads, direct from the browser to Stream. The progress is pretty chunky; after each chunk there's a pause, the bigger the chunk (200mb) the larger the pause, the smaller the chunk (5mb) it's quicker, but slower over all. The 200MB chunks pause for close to 10 seconds, there's more time spent waiting than actually uploading. Any way around that?
