It looks like Cloudflare Stream requires us to upload each video, then embed through an iFrame. (Or with the Wordpress plugin we can save a few steps, but it’s still an iFrame)
Is there a way to configure Cloudflare Stream so that it simply recognizes the self-hosted videos on our site, caches them, and serves them from cache? Like it does other assets on pages: images, JS files and stylesheets?
That might be simpler. It would allow us to upload videos directly on our webhost like we do images, embed through a video tag, and not use an iFrame.
Thanks for the recommendation. The Cloudflare Stream Delivery feature seems to be only on Enterprise plans that start at $5,000 / month according to a sales rep that spoke with us. But maybe we misunderstand.
Sounds about right. I don’t think that Cloudflare want to be in the large scale video delivery business.
There are lots and lots of people who offer that service, and it is a race to the bottom on pricing, with a very different infrastructure footprint to what Cloudflare generally do.
