I want to use HLS_Variant feature for the NGINX rtmp Module. But if I follow the examples in the documentation I can't get it to work.
I have the following test:
application Test {
live on;
record off;
on_publish http://127.0.0.1/php/rtmp_auth.php;
on_publish_done http://127.0.0.1/php/on_publish_done.php;
exec_push /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel debug -i rtmp://localhost:1935/Test/$name
-c:v libx264 -acodec aac -preset veryfast -b:v 256k -tune zerolatency -vf "scale=480:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/Z006/$name_low
-c:v libx264 -acodec aac -preset veryfast -b:v 768k -tune zerolatency -vf "scale=720:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/Z006/$name_mid
-c:v libx264 -acodec aac -preset veryfast -b:v 1024k -tune zerolatency -vf "scale=960:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/Z006/$name_high
-c:v libx264 -acodec aac -preset veryfast -b:v 1920k -tune zerolatency -vf "scale=1280:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/Z006/$name_higher
-c copy -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/Z006/$name_src 2>>/tmp/Log.log; }
application Z006 {
live on;
record off;
hls on;
hls_path /usr/local/www/stream/tmp/hls0;
hls_nested on;
hls_variant _low BANDWIDTH=288000; # _low - Low bitrate, sub-SD resolution
hls_variant _mid BANDWIDTH=448000; # _mid - Medium bitrate, SD resolution
hls_variant _high BANDWIDTH=1152000; # _high - Higher-than-SD resolution
hls_variant _higher BANDWIDTH=2048000; # _higher - High bitrate, HD 720p resolution
hls_variant _src BANDWIDTH=4096000; # _src - Source bitrate, source resolution
}
As you can see there is nothing special about that. The generated log looks like this:

I think the error is clearly the Empty 'fname'. But I don't know what to do about that?
EDIT:
Even if I change $name to my Streamname which I use in OBS the conversion isn't started.
I think I got it working.
After days of testing and rebuilding with debug support I found the issue.
All starts when you use the combination of:
The on_publish request is handled first via php-fpm. It produces the following logs:

As u can see, fastcgi sets the http code to 302 with Location "/".
This Location is the $name variable used for exec!
So we have to force this Location to be our streamname.
Example rtmp_auth.php
<?php
$streamName = $_POST["name"];
//Check for streamkey here
//If okay, set Location and Return Code (Set 403 if Auth failed)
header('Location: '.$streamName, TRUE, 200);
?>
After we Set the new Location manually the Log Changes to:

Now the $name Variable is set for next use with exec Command. I hope someone can save some Hours of testing with this Information.
