I did test over ubuntu 16.04 LTS and it works with that following instructions:
cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/arut/nginx-ts-module.git
wget https://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.13.8.tar.gz
git clone https://github.com/sergey-dryabzhinsky/nginx-rtmp-module.git
sudo apt-get install build-essential libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev
tar -xf nginx-1.13.8.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.13.8/
sudo apt update
sudo apt install autoconf automake build-essential libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev
./configure --with-http_ssl_module --add-module=../nginx-rtmp-module --with-http_stub_status_module --add-module=../nginx-ts-module
make
sudo make install
Then you need to update the .conf file:
cd /usr/local/nginx/conf/
sudo nano nginx.conf
Conf file:
worker_processes auto;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
# RTMP configuration
rtmp {
server {
listen 1935; # Listen on standard RTMP port
chunk_size 4000;
application show {
live on;
# Turn on HLS
hls on;
hls_path /mnt/hls/;
hls_fragment 3;
hls_playlist_length 60;
# disable consuming the stream from nginx as rtmp
deny play all;
# Instruct clients to adjust resolution according to bandwidth
hls_variant _low BANDWIDTH=512000; # Low bitrate, sub-SD resolution
hls_variant _mid BANDWIDTH=1024000; # Medium bitrate, SD resolution
hls_variant _hd720 BANDWIDTH=2048000; # High bitrate, HD 720p resolution
}
}
}
http {
sendfile off;
tcp_nopush on;
#aio on;
directio 512;
default_type application/octet-stream;
server {
listen 8080;
location / {
# Disable cache

add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' 'Content-Length';
# allow CORS preflight requests
if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
return 204;
}
types {

application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;

}
location /stats {
stub_status;
}
root /mnt/;
}
To start your nginx server (first kill it then start it):
sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop
sudo /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx
To view stats of your nginx server:
Where is the public ip of your server.
http://<ip_of_your_nginx_server>:8080/stats
From your encoder such as OBS:
Stream to your nginx server with that adress:
- rtmp:///show/stream_hd720
Do a 1280x720 at 2500kbps and 1 audio stereo at 128kbps
If you want to see your stream on VLC:
Open a network stream then paste that:
http://<ip_of_your_nginx_server>:8080/hls/stream.m3u8
You should see your stream.
If you want to host a HLS player where your viewers can watch your stream for free:
sudo apt install screen
Put your http server in a screen session:
screen -dmS httpSTREAM
Access to your screen:
screen -r httpSTREAM
Then start your server:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7788
Create your html page with Hls player:
touch player.html
sudo nano player.html
and paste:
Change that line with the correct ip hls.loadSource('http://<ip_of_your_nginx_server>:8080/hls/stream.m3u8');
to your needs

Then access to your player from a chrome browser and paste that link:
http://<ip_of_your_nginx_server>:7788/player.html
Now you do a complete streaming !!

I finally tested nginx with rtmp-module for the flash and a handmaded/automated solution with a script and a cronjob and the following ffmpeg-syntax for hls:
note that this is for linux based systems and it is necessary to escape the % under windows like abc-%%d.ts.
