git clone git://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module.git i attempted to down load this to my server this was the error is there another way to get this plugin?

lenard
[root@server ~]# git clone git://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module.git
Cloning into 'nginx-rtmp-module'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.253.113]: errno=Connection refused
i finally downloaded the module but now i get i have put this plugin in several places i am not sure what to do
Lenard
configuring additional modules
adding module in ../nginx-rtmp-module
./configure: error: no ../nginx-rtmp-module/config was found
[root@server nginx-1.17.0]# ls
auto conf html man README
CHANGES configure LICENSE nginx-rtmp-module.git src
CHANGES.ru contrib Makefile objs
check the path specified for the cloned module and make sure the module was cloned without any errors. The config file that caused the error is located on the project root directory on github. So i suggest you make sure the path specified is the correct path to the module.
what will be the best way to get this file without errors?
i had to use wget to get the file
i was wondering if you could please let me know if i got the conf file correct
thanks

This is very nice. Thank you for this article. I have a doubt. I wanted to make a webiste similar to netflix(On a smaller level, i understand), where i have few video files(Movies) and i want to stream those to the web browser.
I understood that i can convert all my files using ffmpeg. using this command
But Shall i do this will all my files only once and generate chunks. Or shall i issue this command every time a new user request a video. I have seen that these files under the directory /var/www/hls/live are lost on restarting nginx.
As far as i know it has to be done for every request.
Great article, I've been able to setup my server for streaming and able to livestream to the server and push to other platforms. I can also use VLC to view the live stream by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/live/123456/index...., however I am not able to view the livestream with an embedded player on a website. Is it due to crossdomain or do I need an SSL certificate, or am I leaving something out. your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
"ffmpeg -i /path/to/video -c:v h264 -c:a aac -strict -2 -f flv rtmp://server_ip:1935/app/unique_stream_name #the name of the stream has to be unique "
When it says /Path/To/Video what exactly should I put there? because I chose a directory thinking it's where I was gonna save video files, but after I pressed Enter it appeared in Red "It is a directory" so... may you help me, please?
Cool article. I'm just stuck on point 3. can you please explain a bit in details like server-ip from which server. Just missing a little piece of information on streaming part like you did for nginx
The ip or hostname of the remote machine Nginx is running on
