So I don't think it will work this way - trying to access it by tw import. You have to think of it this way - *nginx is serving the file* within tiddlywiki. nginx has to be able to serve the file separately on its own. Here is the code I put in for the video you see in my wiki:
``` <$videojs controls="controls" fluid="fluid" width="800"> <source src="https://digitalap3.com/christinemessages_0.mp4"; type="video/mp4"> </$videojs> ``` So I put the video in a place that I can directly access it from nginx if I copy paste the address in the src into the address bar. It is the same for external images. External images or any files are not imported directly into tiddlywiki. Nginx is serving the file to the browser inside of tiddlywiki. This is what makes relative addresses as your src tricky. Nginx is looking relative to the webroot in the website's config file.
