Hi every1,

I’ve NginX running on a “Debian GNU/Linux 5.0” with the following  
compile options:

nginx version: nginx/0.8.53  
TLS SNI support enabled  
configure arguments:  
–prefix=/dh/nginx --with-ipv6 --with-pcre --with-md5-asm  
–with-sha1-asm --with-http\_ssl\_module  
–with-http\_realip\_module --with-http\_addition\_module  
–with-http\_xslt\_module --with-http\_image\_filter\_module  
–with-http\_sub\_module --with-http\_dav\_module --with-http\_flv\_module  
–with-http\_gzip\_static\_module  
–with-http\_random\_index\_module --with-http\_secure\_link\_module  
–with-http\_stub\_status\_module  
–add-module=passenger-2.2.15/ext/nginx

The module was included on compile time, “–with-http\_flv\_module”. On  
the configuration file I’ve added the “flv location” as mentioned on  
“[http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpFlvStreamModule#flv](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpFlvStreamModule#flv)”.

On my “error.log” file I find no entries. On the “access.log” file I do  
have the requests with the start parameter different from 0  
(…start=77454640…), following:

"  
 - - [09/Jun/2011:14:58:58 +0200] “GET  
/ru/2011-04-24.flv?start=0 HTTP/1.1” 200 537240 “-” “Mozilla/5.0  
(Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303  
Firefox/3.6.15”  
 - - [09/Jun/2011:14:59:03 +0200] “GET  
/ru/2011-04-24.flv?start=77454640 HTTP/1.1” 200 284368 “-” “Mozilla/5.0  
(Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303  
Firefox/3.6.15”  
"

Regarding the file being streamed I’m sure I’ve the “seekpoints” on the  
metadata, but still on the browser when I try set the video on a not a  
yet downloaded point, it starts from the begigning.  
Can someone please help me on this? I’m I missing something  
configuration wise…

Thank you in advance,

Cheers,  
Lopes, N.

If you see flv pseudo streaming module not working - most likely  
you didn’t switch it on. As you mention Apache, you likely use  
proxy\_pass instead. Note that flv and proxy\_pass are mutually  
exclusive.

At last! I’m using proxy\_pass and bumping my head against the wall for  
two  
days! Thanks a LOT!

What exactly is not working? 🙂

Configuration seems to be valid, flv videos existing on the local  
storage should be pseudo-streamed by nginx just fine.

If you mean pseudo-streaming does not work for proxied requests, then  
apparently something’s wrong with the Apache configuration. Do you have  
flv pseudo-streaming in Apache as well?

Cheers

Flv streaming still does not working  
What I doing wrong?  
server {  
listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80;  
error\_log /var/log/nginx/hp8el1;  
access\_log /var/log/nginx/hp8al1;  
server\_name [domain.com](http://domain.com) [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com);  
client\_max\_body\_size 1024m;  
root /home/domain/public\_html;

```
location / {
location ~ \.flv$ { flv; }
error_page 404 = @apache;
error_page 403 = @apache;
    }

```

location @apache {  
proxy\_pass [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081);  
}

```
    }

```

Thanks!
