Yeah, I do agree with that.

I'm slightly less happy about the HTTP live streaming being in the Plus package, though. I've been playing around a lot with a media app using HLS and I can't even trial using nginx for it - not that I'd be too happy paying $1300 a year since I don't have a single user yet. I can see how they are trying to get money out of the big streaming companies, but it's not too friendly to the little guy.

Segmentation is a lossy function, unfortunately. If you try too hard to fit the price/feature curve by creating too many segments, you wind up with nonsense like Windows Home Professional Premium Plus Ultimate Edition.

FYI, you might want to try nginx-rtmp-module (https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module); HLS support is one of its advertised features. I've been using it for RTMP and it's been working flawlessly.
