nginx multiple locations and roots inside

i've an nginx container used as front-end for a web application.

This is my config file:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    #charset koi8-r;
    #access_log  /var/log/nginx/log/host.access.log  main;

    root   /usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master/demo;
    index  index.html index.htm;


    #error_page  404              /404.html;

    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }

    # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    #    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;
    #}

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    #    root           html;
    #    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    #    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    #    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
    #    include        fastcgi_params;
    #}


    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
    # concurs with nginx's one
    #
    #location ~ /\.ht {
    #    deny  all;
    #}
}

If i point to localhost:port it returns me correctly /usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master/demo/index.html ... but i have a problem:

This application, a dash library, needs i run a python script that generate files names "deps.js", base.js and others, hosted in:

/usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master/third_party/closure/goog/base.js 
/usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master/dist/deps.js 
/usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master/shaka-player.uncompiled.js

These files are inside these folders, but browser returns me 404 because of i don't know how to expose these contents from config file.

I tried adding some code like:

location = third_party/closure/goog/base.js {

root /usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master/third_party/closure/goog/base.js;
}

But still 404.

Can anyone help me?

The correct location and root syntax would be:

location = /third_party/closure/goog/base.js {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master;
}
location = /dist/deps.js {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master;
}
location = /shaka-player.uncompiled.js {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html/shaka-player-master;
}

See location and root manual pages for details.

There will also be configurations that allow this root to be the default and make the demo location the exception.

However, there is another potential problem - why is your application using localhost:9900 as the server name?
