what about try_files?

[arty777]

try_files does't work ....

conf location / { ...... root /ssd/hls/; try_files /hdd0/$1 /hdd1/$1

=404; }

if possible to work try_files with this module?

[whatvn]

can you post your config?

[arty777]

// begin nginx config server { listen 192.168.88.2:8081; server_name local.com;

#rewrite ^(.)/(adbr)/([0-9]+p)/([0-9]+)/(.) $1/$5?video=$4&$2=true&vr=$3 last; #rewrite ^(.)/(adbr)/([0-9]+p)/(..m3u8) $1/$4?$2=true&vr=$3 last; rewrite ^(.)/(org)/(..m3u8) $1/$3?$2=true last; rewrite ^(.)/(org)/([0-9]+)/(..ts) $1/$4?video=$3&$2=true last; #rewrite ^(._)/([0-9]+)/(._ts) $1/$3?video=$2 last;

location / { streaming; segment_length 16; hls_buffer_size 1m; hls_max_buffer_size 50m; mp4_buffer_size 1m; mp4_max_buffer_size 500m; root /ssd/hls/;

try_files /hdd0/$1 /hdd1/$1

=404; } // end nginx config

for information filesystem /ssd/hls ├── hdd0 │   ├── 124099.mp4 │   ├── long.mp4 │   ├── real_prod_file.mp4 │   ├── sample1_1500kbps.f4v │   └── test.mp4 └── hdd1 └── big.mp4

try to get http://192.168.88.2:8081/long.m3u8 or http://192.168.88.2:8081/big.m3u8

and have 404 ...

[whatvn]

I don't understand what's your purpose when configure nginx likes that? Remember that this module does not store generated m3u8 and ts file, after response to client, it does not do anything.

[arty777]

nginx will try to search file long.m3u8 first here /ssd/hls/hdd0/long.m3u8 if 404 go to /ssd/hls/hdd1/long.m3u8 if no, we have error 404

[whatvn]

So for sure you have 404, because those file (real file) will not be there.

[arty777]

Yes , but with config root /ssd/hls/hdd0/; without try_files work fine , may be possible to work with try_files or create analog .... in large systems with lots of disk storage is extremely convenient.

[whatvn]

well, try_files has higher priority. I mean if try_files cannot find any available object on disk, a 404 will be return. I debug but that request does not come to my module.

Maybe there's another way....

[whatvn]

@arty777 do you know any module that works with try_files the way you want to do? Maybe I can learn from them.

[arty777]

I need to be able to work with more than one HDD disk with same location. Symlinks do bad variant.

[whatvn]

I understand your requirement, I will try to find another way to solve this problem
