To test:

• Goto Create content › Video and enter a title.
• Scroll down to Video and select a video file to upload. Make sure it is not larger than the max size specified (this is a php setting).
• Click save
• Goto yoursite/cron.php
• If you are using FFmpeg as your transcoder, you will see the output from FFmpeg. Click back and then refresh and you should see your video.
• If you are using bluedroplet.com as your transcoder with the periodic check option you will need to run cron.php again once it is ready to be returned. You can view transcoding status at bluedroplet.com under the transcodings tab on your account page.
