How to write nginx location with regular expression on alias?

Question

Nginx

Those that are:

location ~ ^/video/.+\.m3u8|ts$ {
root /var/www/html/;

The ones that should be:

location ~ /video/^.+\.m3u8|ts$ {
alias /var/www/my_video/$1;

Answer 1

If you just look for files in this folder.

location ~ /video/^.+\.(m3u8|ts)$ {
  alias /var/www/my_video/;
  try_files $uri =404;
}

If it is also divided into folders inside my_video, and the folder name is like the file name

location ~^ /video/^(.+)\.(m3u8|ts)$ {
  alias /var/www/my_video/$1/;
  try_files $uri =404;
}
