Nginx - Redirect url for certain file type

I have nginx 1.2.1. I want to rewrite:

http://mywebsite.com/[token].mp4 to http://mywebsite.com/get.php?token=[token]

Return error 404, my block:

location ~* \.(mp4)$ {
    rewrite "^/([a-zA-Z0-9]{23})\$" /get.php?token=$1 break;
}

I tried this question but nothing, it returns error 404

According to nginx.conf you provided here, try below:

location ^~ /videos/ {
    rewrite "^/videos/([a-zA-Z0-9]{23})\.mp4$" /get.php?token=$1 break;
}

This should match URL: example.com/videos/abc01234567890123456789.mp4 and redirect to example.com/get.php?token=abc01234567890123456789

DISCLAIMER: config not tested, may have some typos

Perhaps try looking at the headers specifically content type like so:
