HLS stream issue

[JohnSmithers]

QUESTION: What steps do I need to take to ensure .m3u8 will appear on
JWPlayer?

Details:

1. I have set up nginx-rtmp module with the current latest version
following
https://docs.peer5.com/guides/setting-up-hls-live-streaming-server-using-nginx/

2. I have connected successfully to the server and nginx was receiving a
stream and successfully restreaming via hls. I received the .m3u8 restream
on my browser. 

3. I left it for one week. When I returned I found I could not longer
receive .m3u8 streams.

4. I have tried many different pathways of installation but the most
successful is still the one I followed above. Every new installation attempt
falls at the hls stream pushing from the server.

5. JW Player supplies error code 232011 - Cannot load M3U8: Crossdomain
access denied

6. Output from nginx hls (proving rtmp stream being received and
converted):
total 12812
