Has anyone used the Live Instant Clipping feature, and found that the generated HLS manifests often just refuse to play beyond a couple of seconds?
1I can generate MP4 fine for the same video ID and duration/start time
1Looks like audio isnt being buffered correctly?
1That earlier test wasn't sending any audio, changed that but still consistent where it won't play beyond 2 seconds or so
BUsing 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?
SNope. It's a pretty glaring issue with the product.
I was able to get this working through a Worker though. You'll double your billing for bandwidth going through the proxy as-well-as the minutes you're paying for streaming doing this... so not the greatest solution.

1Agreed I would like to see this as an option too. We already get custom ingest domains
1When will I be able to use Media Transformations to export an MP4 from a HLS manifest? The pipeline for exporting MP4s from a CF stream is too slow for my current use case. Alternatively, let me use Instant Live Clipping on sources outside CF Stream
BSo, how do people test in dev/uat/staging/whatever when you only get a single webhook subscription...?
1You don't lol
BYeah we're already exploring other alternatives
1If its for live-inputs I would just designate a specific input ID as a
test ID, same with videos. I know that's not ideal, the Stream experience for actual devs wanting to expand on the platform isn't greatBYeah we were ready to be all in on a cloud flare (r2, images, stream) but slowly moving to alternatives. For products that have been out this long they’re pretty half baked.
1UI Bug: Not the best video to demonstrate, but when I open a video in a new tab, my cursor proceeds to spaz out and just not let me click correctly sometimes. It will flash and eventually slow down and stop. We manage dozens of videos on Stream a week, the dash browsing experience can be infuriating. I have been able to reproduce this across browsers, devices, locations etc
Pi notice this too throughout the dashboard when i middle click the buttons disable/enable/disable/enable until the new tab finishes loading 
1Incredibly frustrating trying to navigate lots of videos. Glad it's not just me
SHello,
I’d like to ask how Cloudflare Signed URLs work in terms of access control. Are they protected in a way that only one person (e.g., from a single IP address or browser session) can use the link? Or is it possible for someone to share the signed URL and allow others to access the content as well?

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...
SYes, I have read it, but I couldn’t find any information about whether the signed URL is single-use only. I can imagine verifying access in my application and then generating a signed URL, but can those URLs be shared?
1I guess you could restrict URLs to a specific IP address based on access rules. Being able to obfuscate the final URL will depend on your use case
LI am occasionally encountering a strange error while using Cloudflare Stream’s upload-via-link functionality. In this process, I upload a video file to R2, then provide the R2 link to complete the upload.
Most of the time, this works fine. However, sometimes the video gets uploaded to R2 and starts processing on Cloudflare Stream, but when accessing the Cloudflare preview or HLS links, it returns a 424 Failed Dependency error. The video does not reach the ready state and shows an error with an unknown cause.
Why is this happening? I have noticed this issue about 2-3 times out of 12-14 video uploads.

1If you try it again with one of the files that failed, can you reproduce the error with the same file?

Good to see Media Transformations getting some work done. Really would love more options to it, being able to combine two videos together, or placing images/videos over the top/underneath a video would be an amazing next step. Also being able to do things like provide any HLS manifest to then have an MP4 generated

AWe use the stream bundle advanced plan and need to bump up our storage capacity from 10,000 minutes to say, 30,000. How do I do this?
Support doesn't answer and it has been 2-3 weeks of messages. Does this require an enterprise plan and is that why they're not answering?

LI’m uploading videos via a backend worker service that processes queue jobs—first uploading the file to R2, then providing the R2 link to Cloudflare Stream’s upload-via-link functionality.
When the video successfully uploads to R2 and starts processing in Cloudflare Stream, sometimes it fails or shows the 424 error. In those cases, I can’t re-trigger the upload-via-link process programmatically from the backend because the upload is already considered “in progress” or partially done and my job is to make the process upto provide the r2 link to cloudflare and its upto cloudflare then it queue, process and ready the video on its own.
So, to recover from this, I have to manually log into the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Stream, and use the upload-via-link option again with the same R2 link to upload the file manually. This manual step is necessary because the full upload-via-link cycle can’t be retried automatically from the code once a failure occurs during processing.

1You could totally use something like #queues or #workflows or even #durable-objects Alarms to handle this retry process
LI got this error from cloudflare side
and on another video got this error
and on another video got this error
Lmay be you get some idea from this and can help me
DHello
1I've never seen errors like that before, if you re-upload those same files manually they work okay?
Lbut in manually uploads as well there is one weird thing i have noticed which is if I manually upload the video and after video uploading complete it does not show in the stream dashboard, so I wait for 5-10 mins that may be it will show but still not and then need to upload again. and second time it shows.
This is also weird in manual case.
This is also weird in manual case.
Lthese errors are showing on stream, what can I do to debug this, as I am sure this is not from my side, because most of the videos are uploading as it is showing for any 1-2 random video.
which is causing issues client side.
and every time I cannot fix this by uploading manually videos.
Please provide a solution for this.

1If it's happening regularly I would say there is something with your encode
LBut then in that case it should come for every video right?
LAlso, it is not coming regularly, it happened just randomly
Llike day before yesterday everything was working fine for regularly 3-4 days
but yesterday night these issues faced with 1-2 videos.

1I have no idea, maybe you can come up with some notification solution if an upload fails
1How many videos are you uploading normally?
1Also a note I'm not an employee, I'm just trying to suggest possible solutions. You won't get much direct help from the Stream team in here, if it's happening regularly then you should file a support request
LI am uploading videos like 15-20 in a day of each size above 4-5 gb upto 30gb and
and all are uploading one by one using queue but its upto cloudflare how fast cloudflare stream makes it to ready state.
as it can happen if one video is in processing state then other would come if it has uploaded.

Lokay got it. Could you please share how can I file a support request?

OIs anyone else experiencing problems with video deliverability? We have users raising tickets about videos loading up to a certain point, but then the video stops (it freezes; it does not show as it is loading; it just freezes), and they are unable to watch no matter what they do (clear cache, restart computer, use a different browser, etc.). We tried to replicate this and it actually is true, even in cloudflare, the video does not run all the way to the end.
Twhat am i misunderstanding? why am i charged 250$ for no videos?
1You have selected 50k minutes of storage, which you pay for regardless of how much you use. Storage is $5 per 1k mins. The $0 per month number shown would be referring to the included minutes viewed of 0
1Can you share a video an example?
TFor the others it shows the correct price, so this makes no sense
TThis is the page.
TIt clearly says, 0$ for 50k minutes, then the other prices.
1Select custom, then set storage to lower number
