Compiling nginx (release-1.25.1) with this module (v1.2.0) produce no HLS nor DASH streams

[hamlatzis]

I needed to have variant streams for both HLS & DASH but since the original module from nginx doesn't support dash_variant I've tried to compile nginx from sources with this module

But no streams come out, even if I only try to use HLS, let alone both.

my configuration command line is:

./auto/configure --user=root --group=root \
                          --prefix=/usr/local/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin/nginx \
                          --modules-path=/usr/lib/nginx/modules --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
                          --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
                          --pid-path=/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock --http-client-body-temp-path=/tmp/nginx-client-body \
                          --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/usr/local/nginx/fastcgi_temp --http-proxy-temp-path=/usr/local/nginx/proxy_temp \
                          --http-scgi-temp-path=/usr/local/nginx/scgi_temp --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/usr/local/nginx/uwsgi_temp \
                          --with-compat --with-file-aio --with-threads --with-http_addition_module --with-http_auth_request_module \
                          --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_gunzip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module \
                          --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_random_index_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_slice_module \
                          --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_v2_module \
                          --with-http_secure_link_module --with-stream  --with-stream_realip_module \
                          --add-module=/home/iosif/tmp/2bdeleted/nginx-rtmp-module/nginx-rtmp-module 

Because I had a problem in compilation with gcc 7.5.0 (-Werror=implicit-fallthrough) after configuration of nginx I've modified the created Makefile instead of

CFLAGS =  -pipe  -O -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-parameter -Werror -g  -I/home/iosif/tmp/2bdeleted/nginx-rtmp-module/nginx-rtmp-module

to

CFLAGS =  -pipe  -O -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-parameter -Wextra -Wimplicit-fallthrough -g  -I/home/iosif/tmp/2bdeleted/nginx-rtmp-module/nginx-rtmp-module

       location /stat.xsl {

               root /usr/local/nginx/html;
       }
   }
}

I'm streaming from a USB camera connected on my PC using OBS and my system is Ubuntu. If I modify my nginx.conf to only have one DASH stream, keep the rest (regarding HLS) and use the original code of the module then everything works, I get one DASH stream & multiple HLS streams

Any idea?

Hi. I'm attempting to configure dash_variant as well so my use case is same as yours. I put a stack overflow question for my issue. Could you check it out ?https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79216032/docker-wget-returning-a-404-error-for-a-github-repo
