IIS Transform Manager - Watching Sub-Folders

$

 Hi all. I'm not sure whether or not this has been answered, though I didn't see it turn up in a search using the search icon above.

When you set a Watch folder in Transform Manager, can it watch sub-folders and their contents within that Watch folder.

 Case in point:

We have a streaming media server that, as part of a vendor solution, uses Windows Media Services for streaming. Those files are saved to a drive in the following hierarchy:

  • Meeting Type (Folder)
    • Meeting ID (Folder)
      • Meeting File (.wmv file)

This is how the vendor solution saves and we have no way around that. The meeting type folders are usually pretty static, but new Meeting ID sub-folders and their contents are added on a regular basis. We don't currently have an option to move away from this solution as it is part of a larger document management application.

We would, however, like to begin streaming our archived videos in a format friendly to iOS devices and based on my reading, the solution with the tools we have is IIS Transform Manager. I would like to minimize the amount of "hands-on" to the process. Meaning, the less I have to pay attention to whether there's a new .wmv file and manually drop it into a watch folder for conversion, the better. Ideally, I would set-up the root "Videos" folder as the Watch folder and it would pick-up on the new sub-folders and their respective content on its own.

If Transform Manager does not have the ability to monitor sub-folders within a central Watch folder, I am open to suggestions as to how I should proceed.
