Many thanks!

I actually discovered how to 'server up' video files using nginx:


     location /video/ {
         mp4;
         mp4_buffer_size     1m;
         mp4_max_buffer_size 5m;
     root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
     }


by putting the above into conf.d/default.conf


Now it all works fine and am able to access the video via mplayer.


Quick question... is building an html page then embedding a video into 
it client side? I always considered that server side while my view of 
client side was always just the browser and URL........
