I want to setup nginx for media streaming web site like youtube  
I have some movie on my server with HD quality and I want to serve video  
like YouTube its mean that nginx should change video’s quality by user  
internet connection quality, I found that this feature name is adaptive  
streaming in nginx,  
And also , like YouTube you can change video timeline to minute 2  
without  
buffering last 2 minute  
Note that I buy jwplayer for this web site

Please help me what should I do for these requirements  
And please tell me which plugging or addons or stuff I should add to my  
nginx for compiling  
Thank you

AFAIK, you need the commercial version of NGINX:

> **[F5 NGINX: Built for cloud-native apps. Ready for AI traffic.](https://www.f5.com/products/nginx)**

> Deliver modern applications with NGINX. Explore high-performance load balancing, API gateways, and web server solutions trusted by top global enterprises.

Plugins for Simple Flash and MP4-streaming are available in the open  
source version - though I don’t know how useful they are in the real  
world.

> **[Module ngx\_http\_mp4\_module](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_mp4_module.html)**

It’s years since a customer needed any of these - most everybody hosts  
his stuff on youtube these days.
