I have a problem with nginx config for hls streaming. I use kaltura nginx vod module and try to add ngx_http_secure_link_module
to protect the stream. The strange thing is I have 404 error if I enable ngx_http_secure_link_module
(logs below). I think that is because it can't find a file with index.m3u8 on the end, but if I comment secure link block it works fine.
Also I tried to add alias inside location ~ \.m3u8$ {}
block, but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? How to protect my stream?
My stream link: https://stream.example.com/hls/c14de868-3130-426a-a0cc-7ff6590e9a1f/index.m3u8?md5=0eNJ3SpBd87NGFF6Hw_zMQ&expires=1609448340
My NGINX config:
server {
listen 9000;
server_name localhost;
# root /srv/static;
location ^~ /hls/ {
# the path to c14de868-3130-426a-a0cc-7ff6590e9a1f file
alias /srv/static/videos/1/;
# file with cors settings
include cors.conf;
vod hls;
# 1. Set secret variable
set $secret "s3cr3t";
# 2. Set secure link
secure_link $arg_md5,$arg_expires;
secure_link_md5 "$secure_link_expires $secret";
# if I comment this block everything works fine (but security)
location ~ \.m3u8$ {
if ($secure_link = "") { return 403; }
if ($secure_link = "0") { return 403; }
}
}
}
NGINX logs:
Just moved out this block to server directory and added vod hls;
inside.
location ~ \.m3u8$ {
include cors.conf;
vod hls;
if ($secure_link = "") { return 403; }
if ($secure_link = "0") { return 403; }
}
