Thanks!
When I’m asking to encode my videos the get placed in the queue but nothing happens. I assume there is an error, but I wouldn’t know what. Both videos I put in Queue yesterday are still saying “Queued” after each of the formats. Worth noting is that I am able to generate thumbnails and all that.
Running the test in the FFMPEG setting I get the following (note that I have changed the sitename with [URL] in the file paths):

Has anyone had the same problem? Is there a good way to decode these message to find an issue? Or is there a log form the Encode Queue?
Best,
Andreas
Edit: Clarifying the question.

But at the Video Share (VOD) import page, i cannot import the FLV file, error with “stream not found, NULL”, file size is 0 and file date is 1.Jan.1970.
May I know if this is the license (i am using free edition for trial).
of this is the configuration/installation error i have made?

thanks for the great plugin you developed and really working fine. but may I know which plugin i can use to keep the video of live streaming? i tried VOD, but seems not success.
what I need is after the live streaming, the video will be save to Server and for any visitor who just want playback.
please help
It must be a problem between your plugin and the digital oceans plugin.

I need to be able to upload the videos and upload them to my digitaloceans space
