The secure link module protect file by md5. You should add a md5 string 
in your url.

For example, the url is like this:

http://127.0.0.1/subdir1/subdir2/movie.flv?md5=NF0H4o7SIxt_vNa9XzzxzQ==


your configuration should be:

    location ~ \.flv {                                                  
        secure_link $arg_md5;
	secure_link_md5 your_secret_word$uri; 

 	if ($secure_link = "") {
       	   return 403;
    	} 
                                                             
        root   /store;                                                  
                                                                                                                           
        flv;                                                             
    }

The md5 hash value of "your_secret_word$uri" will compare with the string specified by "secure_link". If the result is the same, the variable of $secure_link is '1', else it's null string.
