So: the browser asks nginx for /stream/, nginx asks the backend for
/stream.flv, and things work happily.

The browser asks nginx for /stream/stream/content.flv. With
the above configuration, nginx asks the backend for
/stream.flvstream/content.flv. That doesn't work for you.

So: what url do you want nginx to ask the backend for?

This location doesn't match your request, so won't be used.

The debug log will show which location{} block is used for this request.

But before that: decide what you want nginx to ask the backend for,
and see if http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#proxy_pass shows you
how to achieve that.

Good luck with it,
