Usage of nginx-vod-module

Hi,
I’ve installed nginx-vod-module, But I don’t know where should I put my flv videos to use vod module?
And when I stream locally on server I can wget the ts chunks but I couldn’t play it via VLC Player

The link that I’m playing:

Hello @mykaltura-2021 ,

The Nginx VOD module can be used for serving both VOD and live content (streamed over RTMP and served using HLS). It also supports 3 op modes, as documented here:

Please elaborate as to your use case.

Thanks,

I could install nginx-vod-module, But my problem is with supporting container for vod,
I’m recording my hls live via nginx-rtmp-module in flv format and I want to use nginx-vod-module to play this flv, But I couldn’t do this , I could stream mp4 but not flv!
VOD module doesn’t support flv for streaming?
What should I do?
2.
Another question is about converting mp4 to hls frags:
Where vod module would save hls frags of mp4 after converting?
It will use memory or disk? How can I understand this?
for example in nginx-rtmp-module I have defined hls_patth and my frags are there but I couldn’t find this in vod-module !
3.
If use nginx-vod-module for rtmp streaming instead of rtmp-module , would vod-module save its record file to mp4?
my purpose is hls streaming (input is rtmp and I transmux it to hls to serve clients) Furthermore recording hls lives for vod ,
How can I achive this?
