The reason i am not using proxy_cache is, when user seeks through the mp4 video,proxy_cache keeps on downloading whole video file with different Keys if multiple users accessing single video with different cache Keys i.e

The mp4 module does not work with the nginx cache.
You can either proxy the mp4 module output from the backend
or serve the entire cached mp4 file without using the mp4 module.

When you use proxy_cache_min_uses an empty cache entry is created
in memory which holds the counter.  With proxy_store there’s nothing
like that.  Nginx just saves the input to a file.  It looks like
there’s no easy way to do what you want.
