Using Nginx to stream h.264 video

[Kaya Saman]

Thanks a lot Cliff I really appreciate the help!

However as per the documentation it claims 
{http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_mp4_module.html}:

"

location /video/ {
     mp4;
     mp4_buffer_size     1m;
     mp4_max_buffer_size 5m;
}


"

as the configuration for the module.

I added the above to the nginx.conf file and now nginx won't start so 
I'm guessing that it's been added to the wrong place??


Also I guess what I'm trying to find out more then anything else is if 
Nginx will be able to serve up information like YouTube? By embedding 
the video into an html page then streaming via web browser with 
sufficient plugin or straight to a player such as Mplayer or Xine?


Is there any guide or howto on how to do this as the documentation seems 
a little sparse!


Regards,


Kaya
