SharePoint job copies Video to Encoding Service Input Folder
What should happen?
After the VideoStream Management Job runs successfully the following should happen:
- User who uploaded video should see “Your video has been queued for encoding” message in their activity feed. See Video Stream -Activity Stream Messages for more information.
- Video should get copied to a folder in the Encoding Service input folder. The folder will be named with a GUID instead of the original file name. The Videos table in the Video Stream database can be used to match a GUID to the corresponding video name. See Video Stream - Database Tables for more information.
If any of the above results have not happened, check through the following list of possible issues.
Possible issues

Video Stream uses a SharePoint job to coordinate the encoding process. Open the Services Snapin and verify the SharePoint Timer service is in the running state.
