Setting up CORS headers for Nginx stream server

ken Stokes 2 years, 11 months ago

I am streaming from OBS to an internal Nginx server, where the stream is being converted into 3 formats. RTMP, HLS, and DASH. Regardless I have not been able to make any of them work with FV Player so far. While troubleshooting why HLS was not working, it said that the CORS headers were missing. I have tried adding them several different ways and the error remains. What is the best way to setup CORS headers for Nginx servers for FV Players?

I forgot to mention. The stream in converted into the formats and is then being sent to a public WordPress site which is where I am trying to use FV Player to stream on the site. Both web servers are on the same network.

Here is a screenshot of the errors I am seeing. I have confirmed via VLC on a separate machine that all 3 formats are working fine from the stream server.

Hello Ken,

handling that much streaming with NginX seems like a lot of work. Were you able to create your own config or are you using some guide? Are you sure the guide mentions nothing about these CORS headers?

I found this guide about streaming with NginX where they put several add_header statements into the http block in the /hls location of NginX config file which seems right: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/install-nginx-rtmp-live-streaming-server-hls-ubuntu-thiyagarajan

Thanks,
Martin
