woah that upload to duration ratio is not great at all

CHas also happened with NVENC H.264 encoder today. Need to check on the rest of their settings. But had the issue with the left picture. No issue on a different stream by same person after that, on the right.
1Are you working with mobile networks or something?
1on my end the lowest ratio I see is like 90+% and can go as high as 150%
1Are these users located far away from you geographically? I wonder if general network routing could cause something like this
1This is from the same stream I sent before now its been running for a while
1oh your keyframe intervals also wildly fluctuate
1I wonder if your users are seeing any dropped frames in OBS
1x264 could totally contribute to an inconsistent encoding output
1especially if the hardware is being strained in any meaningful way while doing the encoding

"It should be a consistent flat line below 90%. If you see an inconsistent or wavy line, or a line that is consistently above 100%, try the following troubleshooting steps:"
Admittedly they're not flat but they are under 90% most of the time, thought over 100% was potentially problematic.
Not mobile networks. Pretty spread out geographically. No dropped frames listed in OBS ever.
My guess has been it's related to keyframes/open GOP/b frames but haven't been able to pinpoint.

CMy personal ones never fluctuate with NVENC, which is probably why I've not been able to recreate the issue myself through OBS.
Will have them try keyint, min-keyint, disable scenecut and maybe disable b frames. and see if we can get a constant and closed keyframe and what happens.

CAre your keyframes always constant @1984 Ford Laser ?
1Direct from OBS no
1But also working with mobile networks

CStill far more stable though.
1yeah absolutely
CCool. Appreciate your time and help!
1No worries mate happy to help
1@claass another thought I had, do you create the live inputs for your users? Live inputs use Durable Objects under the hood, so I wonder if you're creating a really far away DO instance that's causing less than ideal routing for your users. You aren't broadcasting from outback australia by chance?
CWe do, will keep that in mind.
I was able to recreate the issue myself overnight (on a live input I created myself). Switched to x264 on simple mode and got this. Then did a subsequent one on advanced with keyframe = 2 (hence the big keyframe dropoff and leveling) but still had the issue again.
Retrying now with x264 options keyint=60 min-keyint=60 scenecut=0 closed-gop=1.
I'm thinking B frames are crossing GOPs. But I'm not sure that explains the issue happening for NVENC/QSV encoders since to my understanding those are supposed to be closed GOPs by default.

Hcan i use stream as like aws mediaconvert? and also images service to handle tranformas
Hi don't want to deal with ffmpeg and sharp tho
1I think using Stream purely as an encoding service only is against ToS but don't quote me, I swear I read it somewhere
Hhmm need an official answer tho, like docs doesn't mention anything about it
Hthe real thing is im also using r2 too tho so i already store the users data
Hjust need a process for both
HUse Media Transformations https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/transform-videos/
Cloudflare Docs
You can optimize and manipulate videos stored outside of Cloudflare Stream with Media Transformations. Transformed videos and images are served from one of your zones on Cloudflare.
Hso i guess its a yes for cf images too tho for its a valid use case for TOS then? asking for just to be sure
HUsing Image Transformations, it should be fine. But iirc, anything that has its own storage, requires you to serve from said storage
HI can try to find exact details on Tuesday
MI’m trying to let an employee upload videos to the cloudflare “Stream” video hosting, but there’s doesn’t appear to be any user permissions for stream and even if I set her up as admin she doesn’t have stream enabled on her dashboard?
THello, is there support for delivering >50,000 minutes of video content each month? Trying to find info about this
1Delivering or storing? Delivering is post-paid, and you can choose any amount of storage that you want. I have 25k minutes storage and deliver easily 500k+ minutes a month
TYeah, delivering!
Tpost-paid? I'm trying to figure out how much that would cost
TCloudflare Docs
Cloudflare Stream lets you broadcast, store, and deliver video using a simple, unified API and simple pricing. Stream bills on two dimensions only:
JIs it possible to enforce usage limits on Stream (e.g. bandwidth, simultaneous open streams, etc.)? I'm facing an issue with customers abusing the service.
Hany news?
SAny reason form data from react native won’t work trying to upload a video via signed direct upload ur? I tested my code with webhook.site and it worked just fine. The response Cloudflare has a 400 request, text/plain content type and blob size 0
CHi, I have created this post as I seem to be unable to retrieve Stream videos with cURL, any help would be appreciated.

CFollowing up in case this ever happens to anyone else (and tagging @1984 Ford Laser since you were helping)
The issues with the x264 encoder in OBS were because that encoder does not have a closed GOP despite Cloudflare's documentation saying it does. Using scenecut=0 open-gop=0 fixed this.
And for the NVENC H.264 encoder, it is closed GOP by default. However, the "Look-ahead" option was messing with this. Didn't realize it right away though because in Simple Mode, Look-ahead is not shown on the GUI. However, looking at the OBS logs, it was still enabled for some people while disabled for others, not sure why. Moving to Advanced Mode and turning it off fixed it. Also used gopLength= just to be sure it stayed closed.

LI’ve been dealing with this issue for a bit: I have two live inputs both streaming to the same destination (e.g. Twitch). At first, only one input is enabled. When I switch the inputs by disabling the first input and enabling the second input, viewers see an offline screen for a few seconds. Is there a way to make input switching seamless so that the stream doesn’t appear disconnected during the switch?
MIs it possible for a worker to "watch" a live stream (from a RTMP stream) and process it, such as for AI or similar workflow? Realtime kit wouldn't be appropriate, as it needs to be a RTMP based input, not a custom sdk
MYou would need to stream into a separate system, such as OBS, or another video switcher system, to make this work.
Twitch works because it auto reconnects on changes, but a destination like YouTube or others prolly would just fail when you fail over to another feed

Lhello guys, I've been running for a issue since a long time ago. I have a huge delay on some chunks while trying to upload a video using "direct upload" + tus. As you can see at the screenshot, some requests took almost 2 minutes and then failed.
The video has near 250mb and at the dev tools screenshot, the used chunk size is 64mb
I've also tried using a smaller( 20mb ) chunk size, but cloudflare took more then 3 minutes to complete the upload.

IThere was an incident with Durable Objects, may or may not be related at the moment.
IDid you only notice this issue recently?
