This 'if ($request_uri ~ "\.(jpeg|jpg|...|mkv)")' should be rewritten as

location ~ \.(jpeg|jpg|...|mkv)$ {
proxy_pass http://72.11.142.91:7999;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
...
}

The whole configuration may be

server {


if ($http_accept_encoding ~ deflate) {
set $encoding "deflate";
break;
}

if ($http_accept_encoding ~ gzip) {
set $encoding "gzip";
break;
}

location / {
proxy_pass http://72.11.142.91:7999;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding $encoding;
}

location ~ \.(jpeg|jpg|...|mkv)$ {
proxy_pass http://72.11.142.91:7999;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
}
}
