AME is not watching .AEP or .AEPX files

Hello everyone

I am not sure what might be wrong but my AME is not watching only .AEP or .AEPX files to encode.

I have tried with other file formats like .MP4 or .MOV - it is working with them perfectly but not with the above mentioned file extensions.

I have tried doing manual encoding in AEM which is also working fine.

There are several compositions to be encoded, which is why I need to have the watch folder encoding sorted.

Looking forward for your valuable help.

Thanks !
