How to use Nginx RTMP to stream complex routes

Question

The nginx rtmp module states it does not do patterned routes.

I have a library of 10's thousands videos in directories like: /media/orl-stream/400000/410000/410900/test.mp4

I would like a single RTMP application as below to handle all the videos in the subdirectories on /media.

I have tested on WOWZA and once there is a / in the name the video does not play. I have also tried double //.

    application mp4_vbit_low {

        live on;
         exec_pull /usr/bin/avconv  -re  -i /media/orl-stream/$name.mp4
           -c:v libx264 -g 50 -preset fast  -b:v 2048k -c:a libfdk_aac -ar 44100 -acodec copy
           -f flv rtmp://172.26.170.11:1935/mp4_vbit_low/$name;
      }

Here is a log entry that did not play:

... PLAY "mp4_vbit_low" "videos/test" "" - 595 436 "http://www.wowza.com /resources/3.5.0/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html" "WIN 16,0,0,305" (4m 51s)

/media/orl-stream/videos/test.mp4 does exist.

TIA

Found it!

Add double // in the output stream ".../mp4_vbit_low//$name;"

exec_pull /usr/bin/avconv  -re  -i /media/orl-stream/$name.mp4
           -c:v libx264 -g 50 -preset fast  -b:v 2048k -c:a libfdk_aac -ar 44100 -acodec copy
           -f flv rtmp://172.26.170.11:1935/mp4_vbit_low//$name;
