What is the issue you’re encountering
I am trying to stream to my Live Input using ffmpeg as well as OBS
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
I’ve tried to stream multiple times using ffmpeg as well as OBS but I am not able to see the streamed video even after 30 mins.
Streaming is not working for any of my liveinputs here is one ID: 4d57f4823ad8a0c4845a87b0a92617ff
It used to work find with ffmpeg using the same flags but it stopped working since last 20 hours and is causing a production outage

Other that this I also tried streaming from OBS and facing the same problem. I used the exact config for OBS as mentioned in the cloudflare documentation.
