Is it possible to RTMP live stream over nginx SSL (port 8443)?
My SSL Kaltura installation works for VOD.The browser inspector shows that videos are received from https:/my.domain.za:8443
Live stream, however, only works with http - e.g. http:/my.domain.za:8080/hlsme/TestStream.m3u8
Due to mixed content this means the videos do not play when embedded in https sites, even the KMC Preview cannot display the videos:
Mixed Content: The page at ‘https:/my.domain.za/index.php/extwidget/preview/partner_id/105/uiconf_id/23448182/entry_id/0_f2ujuyb/embed/auto?&flashvars[streamerType]=auto’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint ‘http:/my.domain.za:8080/hlsme/TestStream’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
The 8080 live stream does play when embedded in non-SSL websites - however the player controls are blocked on Chrome and Firefox (but not on MS Edge):
Access to font at ‘http:/my.domain.za/html5/html5lib/v2.60//skins/kdark/fonts/icomoon.woff?2017-08-10T09:30:00Z’ from origin ‘http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ has been blocked by CORS policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource.
teststream.html:93 GET http:/my.domain.za/html5/html5lib/v2.60//skins/kdark/fonts/icomoon.woff?2017-08-10T09:30:00Z net::ERR_FAILED

Ideally I would like live streaming to work with https:/my.domain.za:8443/hlsme/TestStream.m3u8
However when I do so, the player does not receive the stream - it displays “Currently not broadcasting video will play once broadcasting starts” - this while both vMix and OBS log successful streaming and manifest and segments are created in /var/tmp/hlsme/ …
Is it not possible to live stream on CE using RTMP over HTTPS? Have I missed something obvious?
I would appreciate any advice you may have
Thank you

Troubleshooting
Ubuntu 16.04, Kaltura 13 (Mercury)
I have worked through this very helpful SSL configuration post
The difference I spotted was that I have the 443 port included for kalapi in nginx.conf:
http {
upstream kalapi {
server my.domain.za:443;
}
When I removed the port and changed it to 8443 - VODs were also blocked.
There has been one consistent and scary looking error on the system since install in 2017:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught KalturaClientException: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to my.domain.za:443 in /opt/kaltura/web/content/clientlibs/php5/KalturaClientBase.php:362
Analytics are also not working - although they did briefly on first install.
