nginx reverse proxy: fix for video seek issue!

[x-cimo 23]

I was having issue with seeking (forward/backward) in a video stream (it was either slow, or not working).

 

I found in the android client a bunch of REFUSED_STREAM error..  then I found https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/2506

 

Which point to a bug in nginx with HTTP 2.0 (I think Emby just moved to HTTP 2 in 3.1.0 ?).

 

On ubuntu 16.04 fully patch the latest version of nginx is 1.10, for which the issue is not resolved..

 

You can get the latest version 1.11.7 by doing the following (found on http://www.ubuntumaniac.com/2016/05/install-nginx-1110-on-ubuntu-1604.html)

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/nginx-devel

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

 

Hope it helps someone else.

Emby Server has not yet implemented http2, fyi.

Good to know, I swear it was fine before, but I just put in place nginx a couples days ago so maybe it was always there.

 

nginx is receiving HTTP/2.0 from my phone (android client). Which triggered the issue on nginx itself.

 

thanks for clarifying

so is there an issue still or was it just miscommunication about http2?

It sounds valid if the proxy is using http2.

Emby Server 4.4 will have http2 support on Windows and Linux.
