We 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.

I think using Stream purely as an encoding service only is against ToS but don't quote me, I swear I read it somewhere

Use Media Transformations https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/transform-videos/

Cloudflare Docs

Transform videos

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.

Using Image Transformations, it should be fine. But iirc, anything that has its own storage, requires you to serve from said storage

claassOP•9/6/25, 8:19 PM

Following 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.

LeaderReader•9/9/25, 3:24 PM

I’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?

manschutz•9/9/25, 3:36 PM

Is 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

manschutz•9/9/25, 3:38 PM

You 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

hello 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.
