An NGINX module that turns the nginx web server into a media streaming server supporting RTMP, HLS, and MPEG-DASH. It handles live streaming, video on demand (FLV/MP4), stream recording, relaying, and HTTP-based control and callbacks.

Use cases

• set up a self-hosted live streaming server
• stream RTMP video with nginx
• serve HLS streams to browsers and mobile devices
• record live streams to FLV files
• build a video on demand server for MP4 and FLV
• relay streams between multiple servers with push and pull
• control and monitor streams via HTTP callbacks

When to choose

• you already run nginx and want streaming capabilities without extra infrastructure
• you need lightweight RTMP ingestion with HLS/DASH delivery
• you want low memory footprint and proven compatibility with tools like FFmpeg, OBS, and JWPlayer

When to avoid

• you need a full media server with WebRTC or SRT support
• you want a standalone solution without compiling nginx from source
• you need exec or auto_push features on Windows, which are unsupported
