Need help with H264 mod for nginx

Posted by jdinh0608, 09-03-2012, 04:16 AM
I recently installed nginx v1.0.0 on one of my ubuntu server to host some videos. Pseudo-streaming is great so naturally I would want that. I read somewhere that I would have to compile it DURING installing nginx to install the mod. Another person told me that the recent nginx already comes with mp4 mod installed and I just need to activate it in the conf file. Having no idea how to check if v1.0.0 have it built in, I wanna make sure and install it anyway. So is there a way to install h264 mod for pseudo-streaming even though nginx is already installed ? If so, how ? Much appreciation, jtd

ngx_http_mp4_module had been added at v.1.1.3 (now 1.3.5) and after release received several important fixes, so you should update your nginx to the last stable version. Then you will have a necessary module and you can use this manual for its setup.

I'm still having some trouble with this. I updated nginx to the latest stable version, nginx-1.2.3. (So now I am assuming that mp4 mod has already installed along side with this version) While adding the following to nginx.conf I get the error during restarting nginx Any insights would be much appreciated !

That needs to go inside of the server block for the domain that you are configuring.

Thanks for replying, I followed your advice and added the code inside the server block into /nginx/site-available/mysite After restarting nginx, there was no error. Though however, after creating a symlink of /nginx/site-available/mysite to /nginx/site-enable/mysite and restarting nginx. I was hit with the following error
