HLS Streaming Server OBS is fine server doesn't get signal

Thanks for the great tutorial video.

I followed every step from the video through obs part.

when I put server address from droplets and start streaming on obs it is running (I see green and k/s ping on bottom right of obs as well) however when I check server with ls -al it doesnt get any signal like his.

Can anyone advise me how to fix it?

thank you

*when I check bandwidth, it seems like video is streaming into server but it doesnt creat any file how can I redirect the file to hls folder?

Can you please post the output of your nginx.conf file?

cat /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

NGINX logs from /var/log may also be helpful.

Don't understand the streaming key. Running nginx on local machine and network, followed all the way through to OBS as well. Camera is showing in OBS, enter ip address of local machine

rtmp://192.168.50.7/show
streaming key is "1"

hit start streaming and get this error:

Could not access the specified channel or stream key, please double-check your stream key.  If it is correct, there may be a problem connecting to the server.

Here is nano file:

These are two different behaviors when you attempt to start streaming (actually streaming vs. popping up an error message.) So you're changing things without understanding what they do and also not telling me about it. I cannot read your mind or travel back in time to find out what you messed up, and I don't have time to try and understand what you thought you were doing.

From your logs, it looks like you may have forgotten to kill an older NGINX process before you started a new one at some point. Your config options won't apply until NGINX has actually been restarted.

With regards to "not understanding" the stream key, the stream key will simply become the name of your .m3u8 file.

Edit: I also noticed that the location directory for your http server does not match the hls_path directive for the HLS server. You need to serve via HTTP the same directory that your HLS server is putting its files into.

Hi Jacob, thanks greatly for the response. For context and background, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to linux and learning as I go.

I have had an opportunity to restart ngnix.

Can you be more clear on the hls_path directive directory and what you mean? If you are too busy, I understand. Thanks.
