Streaming via nginx and hls not working fully - http

so I've configured my nginx server on azure to the point that i can in fact connect to it and stream but there is one issue i don't have the .m3u3 file in my hls directory, I'm streaming to this server via obs here is my nginx config
I found some old thread with this error but i've added user root; to file and still nothing
anyone know why it's not working
user root;
worker_processes auto; events {
worker_connections 1024;

# RTMP configuration
rtmp {
server {
listen 1935 ; # Listen on standard RTMP port
chunk_size 4000;
application show {
live on;
# Turn on HLS
hls on;
hls_path /mnt/hls/;
hls_fragment 3;

this is my nginx.conf using Ubuntu 18.04../usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
worker_processes 1;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
application live {
live on;
interleave on;
record off;
hls on;
hls_path /mnt/hls;
hls_fragment 6s;
hls_playlist_length 60s;
deny play all;
dash on;
dash_path /mnt/dash;
dash_fragment 3s;
}
}
}
http {
sendfile off;
tcp_nopush on;
directio 512;
default_type application/octet-stream;
server {
listen 8080;
location / {
add_header 'Cache-Control' 'no-cache';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always;
add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' 'Content-Length';
if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
return 204;
}
types {
application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;
video/mp2t ts;
text/html html;
application/dash+xml mpd;
}
root /mnt/;
}
}
}
OBS Stream setting :
server add : rtmp://[ip-addr]/live
stream key : stream
i've tried live stream using android (larix broadcaster app), with this connection setting,
server add : rtmp//{ip-addr]:1935/live/stream
stram key : stream
and at my website, i've added playerjs.js and use this inside index.html
<section class="wrapper style1">
<div class="inner">
<div class="video">
<div class="video-wrapper">
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="playerjs.html?file=http://[ip-addr]:8080/hls/stream.m3u8" type="text/html" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

i'm running my server with apache2 on port:80, php, mySql..while Nginx on port:8080 to serve livestream HLS
.m3u8 will generated automaticly inside /mnt/hls
Application name define inside rtmp ..>> application live (i named it "live"), you may named it you like..while stream key, you define by yourself via streamer (OBS, Larix etc...) >> rtmp:/{ip-addr]:1935/live/stream ( i named "stream"). nginx will pull that stream name and put inside mnt/hls/ and create .m3u8 file, devide clips into 60s playlist, and load every clips by 6s fragment..
thats why i like nginx :) and still going smooth .. hope this would help
