nginx reverse proxy to https streaming backend

Hello,

I use the xupnpd2 mediaserver (https://github.com/clark15b/xupnpd2) on
my router to display some hls-streams on my TV. xupnpd2 doesn't support
https. The author doesn't want add https support.

My idea is to use nginx in this scenario on the router:
xupnpd2 (client) <---> http-traffic <---> nginx <---> https-traffic
<---> https://www.mall.tv/zive (server)

xupnpd2 should receive the playlist (.m3u8) and the media-chunks (.ts)
locally via nginx over http.

When using vlc-player with xupnpd2 and via nginx, the displayed stream
(from this site: https://www.mall.tv/planespotting) is 4 hours behind
the actual time.

I hope someone could help me.

Best regards,
Thomas
