I streamed that flv to VLC without nginx, and VLC handles it just fine.
So you need to check what nginx does with it. Does nginx give any error
messages.

Thinking about it more, you probably need to choose a different codec
than ffmpeg's default, at least if you believe some of this:

So you might want to add "-c:v libx264" to your command line.
