    I think I had a misconception for how "Disable cache" works in the browser. when the video looped, content was fetched again, this would explain it šŸ™‚
  • p
    ie. my bad!
  • p
    For some reason Iā€™ve been thinking ā€œdisable cacheā€, uh, cached things until next reloadā€¦ or something šŸ˜…
  • t
    Oh, gotchaĀ ā€”Ā that makes sense.

    Hmm this is probably a bug in docs rather than stream, but when I visit api docs for stream on brave on ios the page seems stuck in a reload loop. I took a video for you:
    rpreplay-final1653166283
  • h
    Hmm I guess same issue on safari ios
  • z
    That's just the cloudflare API documentation page. It's massive (60k+ DOM elements according to lighthouse) and gets loaded all at once. There is an unofficial version that doesn't load everything at once, but I'm not sure what it is

    Note: that's also very unstable opening it in discord's builtin safari doesnt load and opening it in regular safari reloads after scrolling a bit
  • k
    seems fine for me
  • k
    not entirely sure how his version of the docs works though
  • j
    Can we get a datapoint on engagement/how long the average user watched a video/livestream? Getting that back in the API would allow us to show much more data to creators :D
  • h
    If I want to swap out the source video (to avoid new video being muted in safari) can I do that with the CF player, or need to use another player like HLS.js?

    debating on testing this out - how does this compare to Vimeo Pro plan for example if I were to have a video that is 6 seconds long on my main site that auto plays -- Stream seems to make sense as long as 100k users dont load it? unless i calculated it wrong -- then maybe Vimeo makes more sense?
  • k
    Vimeo seems to be per-GB whereas Stream is per-minute
  • k
    Stream is billed in 4 second intervals so your 6 second video would be 8 seconds as far as billing is concerned (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/stream-billed-by-seconds-or-minutes/204047/11?u=kiannh)
  • c
    interesting ok! thank you -- is there a way to tie a custom domain rather than iframe.videodelivery.net
  • c
    looks like best i could do was a page rule - URL forward
  • j
    I had a lot of issues today getting SRT to Cloudflare, any ideas why ?
  • t
    Could you describe your flow?
  • j
    Pearl Nano directly to Cloudflare stream then sending it to AWS IVS
  • t
    And the issue is specifically between the pearl nano and cf?
  • j
    yeah the pearl showed issues with establishing the connection
  • c
    Vimeo offers background option in url to basically allow it to be used as background. I can get all but one setting to replicate in cloudflare stream ā€” is there a way to autoscale the video to screen size? It seems it zooms in when I replaced my Vimeo video with stream video
  • c
    not sure if this is expected, when setting up an embed video if I check the box for loop but then set the value to loop=false in the url, the video still loops
  • c
    basically have to remove loop from the url, to not get it to loop
  • e
    You should embed the video on your site: users donā€™t see the iframe. The iframe itself is so it can be embedded: https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/viewing-videos/using-the-stream-player/
  • e
    What are the output settings on the Pearl? (keyframe, bitrate, tracks, etc)
  • j
    2seconds (100 frames at 50fps) 10mbits 1 track 2 channels
  • e
    And does ā€œissuesā€ mean ā€œit doesnā€™t work at allā€ or something more nuanced?
