Hi,

Newbie here. I'm using OBS and Nginx, streaming from my own server. Works great on Youtube, but I don't want to stream to Youtube, I want to stream from my own server to my own website (live mp4 stream). I can't seem to get my brains around first; what player other than jwplayer or flowplayer can I use to embed on a page in my self hosted wordpress site, Secondly: how do I tell nginx and/or the player to pick up the live stream itself? How do I connect the two (nginx and player)?

THANK you!

HI yvilene, maybe this post will help you

Thanks but at $2500.00 a year for a license for starters? nah lol

You can do something like this; You'll have to find the explanations on nginx.org, but basacly it will forbid other that your own server to show the videos and limit the speed to 1mbit after 10 min

location ~ \.mp4$ {
#internal;
#alias /var/www/domain.tld/media/videos;
valid_referers none blocked server_names
domain.tld
*.domain.tld
if ($invalid_referer) {
rewrite ^ https://www.domain.tld/?;
}
secure_link $arg_md5,$arg_expires;
secure_link_md5 "$secure_link_expires$remote_addr some_secrets";
if ($secure_link = "") {
rewrite ^ https://www.domain.tld/?;
}

if ($secure_link = "0") {
return 410;
}

mp4;
limit_rate_after 10m;
limit_rate 1M;
mp4_buffer_size 5m;
mp4_max_buffer_size 15m;
sendfile on;
aio on;
expires 18000;
add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
}
