Description
When streaming, TVHeadEnd uses HTSP (Home Tv Streaming Protocol).

Once a programme has been recorded, the file is stored on Disk in Makostra format (MKV) so it'd be helpful if a downstream storage appliance could simply fetch this via HTTP (the automated behaviour of this will be looked at when building the API's).

So we need a lightweight HTTP server configured to serve the recordings directory (under a specific hostname).

NGinx seems like the best bet 

root@testpi:/home/pi# apt-get install nginx
root@testpi:/home/pi# cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# cp default recordings

# Edited recordings (see attached)

root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/recordings /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# service nginx start
root@testpi:/etc/nginx/sites-available# wget -O - http://127.0.0.1/ --header="Host: recordings.tvheadend"
