I have used this on a fresh ubuntu 18.04 nginx setup and it didn't work when I start nginx there is no response when accessing my VPS IP, and I already added a video file to /media directory, any solution?
Found a solution, I want to ask something else, how can I secure the videos so that they can only be played from my website, the solutions I found block different people's IP which means that it's blocking everyone instead of blocking people that are accessing the file directly I want them to only work on my website

I currently have this configuration below for an nginx reverse proxy server that points to another application server, I would like to enable mp4 pseudo-streaming on this nginx reverse proxy server. since the videos are on the other application server the "10.0.0.72:85" does this work on a reverse proxy server? Because I heard that the mp4 module only works on the server where the videos are hosted, is this correct?

@insinfo yes, the videos that need to be served for nginx mp4 video module has to be located on the same machine where the nginx server is running.

You operate nginx as both a reverse proxy and a mp4 VOD server.

@CSRaghunandan Could you please tell me what nginx modules needed for your conf file?

For Ubuntu Users please first install nginx mp4 module using this command

sudo apt-get install nginx-extras
