Hi guys! I just recently pushed my first project using Stream to prod but now that I have it all configured for the production environment (webhooks, etc), I realized how difficult it is to keep using this same setup for dev and prod. What is the usual approach here? Do you guys typically keep a different CF account for development? I've been reading the docs didn't seem to find any info about a dev mode or something similar...

I'm also very curious how others have used CF stream webhooks across environments; we're running into the exact same problem

I think I've narrowed down some. I had the theory that of recording is on, the player keeps infinitely loading the m3u8 even though input is webrtc. But what i found was even if recording is on, if webrtc is streamed first then iframe player is fine. But if you stream (the the same stream id) with rtmps/srt, and then (later, not at the same time) stream as webrtc to the same stream id, then the iframe player will never play webrtc again. But using a custom WHEP player (or even WHEPClient.ts from the stack blitz) will play just fine. So it's a player issue, not infrastructure issue (i think)

ahh that sounds very plausible

hopefully that's an easy fix!

I'd love to see the WHEP-based player appear even if recording is disabled, as that'd help with previewing what the heck is being published on a given input

Interesting. I will have to look into this

do any of you use mobile libraries for live streaming that are compatible with the whip/whep protocols? I looked around with many different languages but there's nothing that's quite compatible and low latency

honestly kinda lost to how I'd set up a toy Twitch app poc even with cloudflare dealing with all the video data

For stream webhooks (https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/manage-video-library/using-webhooks/), which cloudflare ASN is the one performing the

POST

? I'm getting a bunch of crawlers and spam requests to my url so I want to setup a WAF to filter out as much as it can before it even triggers my webhook processor. Right now I'm getting

AS132892

and I want to double check that is the one to expect them from and hard code it in

curl \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer AUTH" \
-d "{\"exp\":\"1680815347\",\"accessRules\":[{\"type\":\"ip.geoip.country\",\"country\":[\"HR\"],\"action\":\"allow\"},{\"type\": \"any\",\"action\": \"block\"}]}" \
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/ACCID/stream/VID_ID/token

I am doing something wrong with the body request (data) with a cURL to generate a signed request which has got expire after 24 hours, limited to mc country, others blocked. Receiving error related to the parsing:

"code": 10005,
"message": "Failed to parse body"

Issue only when I add exp:, while only with accessRules, works fine.

Possibly I forgot how to create "one-liner" ...

Ou, seems I missed --header 'Content-Type: application/json' while sending data-raw

Could use a webView…? I am but on an electron / desktop app

Also for the webhook, i know the event triggers on video process complete. But can you get an event like when process starts?

Like, I'm not uploading videos manually. But I'm going for the recording from the corresponding live stream.

can you send renan@cloudflare.com an email?

the community mvp is now also asking the question oh no

@Mickie Betz is that something we can support?

Live video is recording when the livestream starts and ends when the livestream ends. The VOD is ready to be played once the livestream ends: https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/stream-live/replay-recordings/

There's no "transcoding" step

From my testing, I don't get the webhook of ready for about 2-3min after a stream ends

interesting, I will report back to my team

if you try it right now you should see in the dashboard that the video is ready once the livestream ends

I thought it might need some time to process, so that's why I was wondering if I can get something immediately when stream ends, and then some follow-up when ready

In the dashboard, the video has the "Live" badge and then after about 2-3 min (same as webhook time) the badge changed to "Ready"

Did you change the

timeoutSeconds

by any chance?

Oh. I thought I had it set to 300 (5 min) and it was set to 420 (7 min). So I was expecting it to be ready after 5 min, but it was ready after 7 min. That's why I thought there was a delay

yep. that one is on me...
