thanks, hopefully someone knows or has a working sample of how to stream the browser tab using WebRTC....

i've tested other WebRTC samples locally that can stream the screen or a browser tab but it feels like I need to change some settings or add some additional config info so that the WHIPClient knows how to connect to the window stream once it is selected by the user....

Does the Stream Player support disabling the gear icon?

I do not like the gear icon. 😋

you are missing an audio track

It will work with screenshare

what other than "default" downloads are available, ref https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/viewing-videos/download-videos/#get-download-links ?

we have uploaded a 1440x810 video, but when downloading it as mp4 it comes as 1280x720 instead

In my use case, currently on the VM where my app will be running there won't be any audio input source (Windows Server VM). How can I work around the requirement to supply an audio stream/channel to the WHIP client? If there's no way to pass a 'fake' audio device and pass that to the WHIP client, will I have to create a virtual audio device and register it on the server and use that? Basically, if we don't need or have access to audio what are my options?

@deepdev currently whip has a hard requirement of requiring video and audio track to be present on both the sdp and the peerconnection. That might change in the future, but for now it is one of the limitations

hmm, do you think if i have an audio device (even just a virtual sw only device) registered on these machines, that as long as a mic is present, i can satisfy the audio requirement?

what library are you using on the VM?

funny thing is, as i've been testing Electron, if you don't have a mic present and tell it's capture engine to use Audio, it just crashes

the app is built (for now) on Electron and will run in a Windows VM Server

therefore, my code is running inside a WebView (at least the WHIP and screen capture code is)

if the audio track has no data being passed will CF still consider it a valid audio channel? I can configure a Mic on the server and allow my Electron app to access it, but there would never be any actual data coming from that device

if it is an electron app, you can create an audio track using web api. however we still expect data coming from the the audio track, even if it is just muted

hmm, i see. so literally any audio stream can be passed to the WHIP client? like say a stream of white noise, etc

any audio yes. If you want white noise on your stream, so be it

I think Cloudflare can be more specific about what kind of x264 stream the WebRTC endpoint expects. Besides, in Cloudflare Stream Console, the player doesn't always reflect the availability of a stream. Say, the console player shows "the stream has not started yet" but in the WHEP example player the stream plays. It makes it pretty cumbersome to find out what is the best encoding option for the stream

I have successfully used OBS Studio, with x264, 4000 kbps, 30 fps, key frame 2s, baseline profile. But if I select "tuning: zerolatency" the stream won't work

So I hope Cloudflare will specify the maximum bitrate, fps that WebRTC endpoint can accept. That'd be helpful.

Using the Cloudflare Stream Player: Any plans to allow playing the video back at a slower/faster speed based on parameter? for example I have a video I uploaded and want to play it back at a slower speed. (using it as background video for example on a site)

Hello, I'm considering allowing users to directly upload videos to stream via signed URLs. I was to provide validations (max. size and max. length) for the uploaded video. How can this be done with the stream API. I don't want to pass the video files through our backend.

You can use direct creator upload for this. https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/direct-creator-uploads/

There should be: https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/webrtc-beta/#supported-codecs

bitrate, fps, etc is up to you. In theory you can push 4k 60fps H264, but remember that this is live without encoding, so the the same bandwidth requirement will apply on the player side.

This is a bug if the dashboard does not play but the example player does. Can you outline how you have it setup so we can take a look?

@Rachel how can I add functionality for audio stream in stead of videos in cloudflare streams
