hi,

i want to use mp4 module and secure link module together.

this is my conf;  
location /videos/ {  
secure\_link $arg\_st,$arg\_e;  
secure\_link\_md5 ssss$remote\_addr$uri$arg\_e;  
if ($secure\_link = “”) {  
return 403;  
}

```
  if ($secure_link = "0") {
    return 403;
  }

    mp4;

}

```

it works with this config but when i change mp4; with  
location ~ .mp4$ {  
mp4;  
}  
secure link doesn’t works. streaming an seeking working well.

i need to add this line because i want to stream flv files too.

wat is the true way ? thanks.

i’ll try to explain again;

location /videos/ {  
/\*secure link module codes \*/  
mp4;  
} //secure link and mp4 streaming & seeking works well

location /videos/ {  
/\*secure link module codes \*/  
mp4;  
flv;  
} //secure links works. mp4 streaming & seeking doesnt works as should  
be.

location /videos/ {  
/\*secure link module codes \*/  
location ~ .mp4$ {  
mp4;  
}  
} //secure link doesn’t works, mp4 streaming & seeking works.

location /videos/ {  
/\*secure link module codes \*/  
mp4;  
location ~ .flv$ {  
flv;  
}  
} //secure link works on mp4 extension, but doesn’t works on flv.  
streamings & seekings works well.

location /videos/ {  
/\*secure link module codes \*/  
location ~ .mp4$ {  
mp4;  
}  
location ~ .flv$ {  
flv;  
}  
} //secure link doesn’t works on flv and mp4. streamings & seekings  
works well.

Hi, as I tried to write in this thread  
[Re: nginx HttpSecureLinkModule php streaming](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,265663,265688#msg-265688) I’m trying  
to  
accomplish the same

But 1. did you get it to work 2. how did you form your link in the php  
script?
