The "only basic indexing=true" means that baloo will not index the content of
the files, it will note the file exists and index the filename (*).

I'm not sure how much you can deduce from these messages. Baloo has "been told"
that the file has been modified - if you are copying a big file, that could
happen a number of times. I'd need to watch the behaviour on my system to be
sure but I know that if you are appending information to a log file, baloo
notes that the file's changed.
(Balooctl monitor only lists files by name when the file is sent over to the
baloo_file_extractor for content indexing)

I think at this point, try the:
balooshow -x ~/Videos/S01E01.m2ts
and see what information baloo has extracted.
If you've got nothing (it would appear under an "Internal Info" line), then
something's failed.
You should have "File Name Terms" that includes S01E01 and m2ts.
You may have, if the the file extractors understand/cope with the format,
embedded metadata appearing in a "Terms:" line, or maybe listed with a property
name like "Width:" or "Height:" (taking these examples from indexed JPG's, I'm
afraid I don't know Video formats...)
Baloosearch should find your videos "by filename"
baloosearch S01E01
baloosearch m2ts
If you get anything listed in "Terms" you should find the file with a
baloosearch yourterm
If you have properties appearing you could try (as an example)
baloosearch width:1024
Hope this is all OK...
*) Basic indexing will also index any "Extended Attributes", that is
if you've added a tag, rating or comment in Dolphin, they'll
be indexed
