When you go to Utilities/Setup > Video Manager it does a scan for  
videos in your video directory and populates with any new ones. Until  
you go there, they won't show up in the Media Library>Watch Videos.  
There is an option to automatically populate the library with newly  
added videos, but it's off by default. Most people like to make sure  
the video has metadata/cover image before being added to the library.  
Hope this helps.
