It sounds like a stupid question, but I got the node installed and I can now upload various version of video files, but I’m missing what should be happening.
I see under media the files are there, but they are not converted, they are original. For example, I upload an m4v and an flv but in the media library they are exactly as those, not converted into mp4. Maybe something is wrong with my installation, but I have no errors.
Thanks
@jenkisan it look like your media-node server it not running or not configured properly.
can you please check your setting in rtMedia > Settings > FFMPEG ? There is a check status button to diagnostic connection.
Also check your media-node server status by http://server-ip:port/status.
This is the first thing I tried, including the generate thumbnails to see what would happen.
When I press diagnostic button, the page reloads but othign is displayed. A bad sign? 
Thats really weird !
Can you please check status of your media-node server by server-ip:port/status ? may be FFMPEG add-on is not able to connect with media-node server.
I suggest you to restart your media-node server, may this will fixed your issue.
