well, I just rewired the pipeline to udpsink instead of webrtc and that worked... so something is off here for sure

can you please elaborate more on streaming webrtc with GStreamer x264 and can play it on VLC?

@Onyx i feel like i missed something that may very helpful for my usecase

I meant that the same pipeline, which (for video side) is basically

libcamerasrc ! v4l2convert ! v4l2h264enc ! rtph264pay ! <sink>

works properly when the sink is

udpsink

and I can open the stream in VLC no problem. but when I sink it into

webrtcbin

(and do all the necessary negotiation stuff) the stream starts, CF dashboard shows it connected, calling

/play

on the stream it returns 201 and an SDP that looks good but the video never starts

Is there a way to limit the stream length for a specific live input? We'd like to offer a free tier of our product using Stream on the backend, and limiting the stream length would be the ideal option. I know it's a very niche use case but you never know 🤞

Testing this is on my todo list, but when I asked about h.264 last wk Rachel mentioned that it's still a little wonky – especially with keyframes. It could be that the player is waiting for an i-frame to come down the stream, which may take a long time if FIRs aren't working. I'd try leaving it "playing" for a few minutes to see if it eventually starts up.

that might indeed take a while with the relatively static scene the camera is seeing. I think I did have keyint set manually so it should create them rather often, but still... will give it a go, thanks for the suggestion

Just hit a blocker with WHEP in React Native, wondering if anyone here has a workaround: I started testing react-native-webrtc. As soon as the WebRTC framework is initialized, it seeks mic permissions. On iOS, this means the user is prompted to allow microphone access & is shown the "recording" banner throughout the stream. It's a known issue. [1] react-native-webrtc's developer considers it something that needs to be addressed upstream, while Google considers it a niche edge case that requires framework customization. [2] Both reasonable positions. Wondering if there are existing forks or simpler workarounds for this use case. I tried a webview, but that has issues w/background playback in iOS.

@Onyx @redoPop correct. I-Frame on H264 is a little wonky right now, which may break FIR. If you want to verify if your setup is working correctly, try VP8/VP9, if that plays then it is probably the encoder or the payloader for H264 somehow doesn't work with how we detect/process keyframe. Do you have the full gstreamer pipeline I can test with?

I'll have to get it Monday, don't have access to the code from home. It might be my encoder settings then, VP8 is fine with the same pipeline sans the codec

Hello all, I'm working on building an app that need to have streaming capability, and considering cloudflare stream. One thing I cannot seem to figure out is if you are able to start a stream with more than one user. So Person A creates a live stream, then Person B in a different location with a different device, is added to that stream. Then the viewers are able to see both participants in the same live stream. If someone could. answer if this is possible that would be great. Thanks.

What is the maximum resolution and frame rate for Cloudflare Stream?

recommended bitrate under 12000Kbps https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/stream-live/start-stream-live/#recommendations https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/faq/

I'm trying to get a thumbnail of a stream

, but I just get

Error 1101

Greetings. Is it possible to extract portion of recorded stream video while the stream is still on going ? I want to stream several hours, and while the stream is going on, I want to be able to extract portion of the recording out. Is there a delay in the live stream ? if so approximately how much ?

Anyone know how to setup NGINX for a game server ?

https://community.cloudflare.com/t/livestream-track-usage-reliably-by-user/401222/3 curious if there has been any traction on this yet, it's something we really need

What there any bitrate or resolution limit on the cf streams?

Oh nevermind, I just noticed the chat history

Hey there, trying to cancel our subscription for Images and Stream, but I'm getting an error code 1225 from cloudflare upon cancellation

Hey, is there any way to change the cors domain of the download link for a video?

I need a site to be able to download the file

hmm, I think I got it now, I need to make a get request to the download.mp4 and the get the location header

I guess that doesn't really work, since I couldn't get the location header

I am planning on using cloudflare streams for a website where users can upload and stream multiple videos. I do I ensure isolation between user videos? E.g. I don't want user A to manage videos uploaded by user B. I know I can easily have userids tagged to videos, however, does any other form of authentication come to mind ?

nevermind, I just saw creator id

generic question. Is anyone familiar with a USER-FRIENDLY tool for HLS encoding packaging?

not cloud-based like bitmovin

I don't think so, but maybe I can help you narrow down the question. What's the use case, and what kind of user does it need to be friendly to? (i.e. how much experience do they have with video transcoding, deploying things on the web, command line interfaces, etc.?)

We're testing our webrtc stream broadcasts with folks and some people report occasional frame drops/stuttering. Is there any monitoring available to see if it's an issue with their internet connections or if it's something on cloudflare's side?
