So not I'm not able to direct download the file, but videos also can not be started from the website's player. I have changed *.mysite.com; also with mysite.com and www.mysite.com, same result


Try this:

location ~ \.(swf|mp4)$ {
valid_referers server_names blocked *.mysite.com;
if ($invalid_referer) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /hl.png break;
}
}

location =/hl.png {
root /home/tophi/www/images;
}
