Nginx 1.2.7 / h.264 / flowplayer

Server NGINX
1

I’m running Nginx v1.2.7 from the Nginx repo, with mp4 module enabled.

I added this to my conf:

   location ~ \.mov {
            mp4;
            mp4_buffer_size 1m;
            mp4_max_buffer_size 5m;
    }

    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
    }

    location @rewrite {
            # Some modules enforce no slash (/) at the end of the

URL
# Else this rewrite block wouldn’t be needed
(GlobalRedirect)
#if ($uri !~* /gcal/(.)$) {
rewrite ^/(.)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
#}
}

    location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME

$document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/phpfpm.sock;
fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
fastcgi_send_timeout 300;

    }

I’m pseudo-sreaming using flowplayer 3.2.5. When I attempt to view a
video,
I get:

200 stream not found Netstream.play…

In the error logs, I get this:

10.10.100.149 - - [15/Mar/2013:17:21:58 +0000] “GET

It works via Apache, so my guess is that my Nginx config is not quite
right.
Any pointers would be appreciated. This is a Drupal hosted website.

I realize there is a “Not a directory” error, which I am guessing may be
an
indication that the nginx config is not correct, because that URL is
invalid. Probably because I’m not processing the locations correctly
for
this functionality. But, I’m not sure exactly what needs to be changed
at
this point for it to be correct.

.mov is not .mp4, they are completely different containers.

Once again, never mind. I had a bad location filter.

Well, true, but .mov is still h.264 encoded, so I believe it would still
use
the same streaming mechanism. Maybe I’m wrong about that. At any rate,
it
appears to be working now that I fixed my nginx location filters.
