Immediate 'Video not found' Error After Cloudflare Webhook

Developers Stream

I received this webhook after uploading a video to Cloudflare Stream:

Although the webhook says “readyToStream: True”, it still takes some seconds for the video to become “playable”. Resulting in this:

In less than one minute the video starts working. So I have two questions:

  1. When can I be sure that the video is really ready to be played?
  2. When videos are uploaded, I receive only a single webhook, like on this example, that says: ‘pctComplete’: ‘50.000000’. But why don’t we receive the webhook when it goes to 100%? Because I could wait until it is 100% to only then allow the user to see the video. But normally I receive the webhook when it is 30%, 50%, etc… and only a single webhook, so I never know when it finishs the task.

Thanks for the attention!
