Securing URLs with Secure Link + HLS

Hi,

I make a request with the .m3u8 file with the MD5 Hash and expiration. It
receives a 200 code. Then the m3u8 playlist file tries to load the first
segment in the playlist, however, I receive 403 "Not Authorised" error.
Nginx isn't passing the MD5 hash and expiration to the segment file.

Like so:

http://0.0.0.0:80/video/hls/bunny.m3u8?md5=cAsEEb6J96haWy3CMOSgDg&expires=1672531140

200. Then tries to load segment (which is correct):

http://0.0.0.0/video/hls/bunny.ts

403, forbidden.

It's not passing the hash. It should be 200.

I hope you understand my problem.

Thanks.
