nginx configuration for DASH

Viewed 1725

I have downloaded a docker container with an DASH-MPEG server Here, I have read the documentation, but when in tried to serve a custom dash video (with diferent video resolutions and the mpd file for DASH) I get the following.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

for all files in the folder with the video sources, at /mnt/dash/ (the nginx configuration points that /mnt/dash is the place for video sources).

If I navigate to the path of one chunk of video I can download the file (an the manifest too), so the route is ok. I think there is a problem with permissions somewhere at the nginx but I dont know where.

the nginx configuration is this:

worker_processes  auto;
#error_log  logs/error.log;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

# RTMP configuration
rtmp {
    server {
        listen 1935; # Listen on standard RTMP port
        chunk_size 4000; 
        # ping 30s;
        # notify_method get;

        # This application is to accept incoming stream
        application live {
            live on; # Allows live input

            # for each received stream, transcode for adaptive streaming
            # This single ffmpeg command takes the input and transforms
            # the source into 4 different streams with different bitrates
            # and qualities. # these settings respect the aspect ratio.

            # XML stylesheet to view RTMP stats.
            root /usr/local/nginx/html;
        }

    }

I placed the dash manifest and the video sources at /mnt/dash/files/ but when the page read the manifest and try to load the diferent sources at /mnt/dash/files/460 .../720 I get a 403. forbidden.
