how to HLS(Http Live Strem) with Nginx

I stream video in a RaspberryPi into /run/shm/hls/index.m3u8. and i want stream them to http. I use Nginx and configured it accourding to nginx.org:

location /hls {
    hls;
    hls_fragment            5s;
    hls_buffers             10 10m;
    hls_mp4_buffer_size     1m;
    hls_mp4_max_buffer_size 5m;
    root /run/shm;
}

when I run nginx I get the following error:

nginx: [emerg] "hls" directive is not allowed here in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:62

Where am i wrong?

The ngx_http_hls_module, which is available with a commercial subscription, provides HLS support for MP4 and MOV files. You already seem to have a HLS stream available so you don't need to pass trough this module at all. Just output your segments/playlist directly into a web accessible directory.

Concerning the shown error, it's most likely due to an error in the configuration file somewhere before your location directive. Check the entire config file.
