CSS and multicast streams

Hi,
Sorry for the newbie questione.
Is there any way to loadbanalnce IPTV multicast streams with CSS? If not,is there any other cisco product that can can do multicast loadbalance/failover?
Tnx

w/ multicast, you have one server sending data and many clients subscribe to get it.
There is no need for loadbalancing.
You need loadbalancing in the model of each client going to the server to get data.

How to protect a PIM-SM network from unauthorized pim routers and multicast sources?

Hi,
we're using pim sparse mode in a customer network with catalyst 2/3/4/6K switches, all multicast routers are redundant with pim dr running for access subnets. RPs are configured with anycast rp.
A) Is there any possiblity to prevent rogue pim routers/igmp queriers connected to host ports from getting connected to the legal pim routers and from getting involved in the local igmp traffic?
Maybe like DHCP Snooping used with DHCP. I read that in the latest Sup2T ios (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/15-2SY/config_guide/sup2T/15_2_sy_swcg_2T.pdf) there is a feature called 'ipv4 router guard' which does exactly what we're looking for:
'When configured, the Router Guard feature makes the specified port a host port only. The port is prevented from becoming a router port, even if a multicast router control packets are received. In addition, any control packets normally received from multicast routers, such as IGMP queries and PIM joins, will also be discarded by this filter.'
Afaik, PIM authentication isn't supported in current catalyst ios versions.
Using a normal port ACL is not an option in our case because of a management decision.
B) Is there any possibility to prevent (on a per-subnet basis) rogue sources from sending multicast streams to legal multicast-groups?
Maybe, can I configure a svi of a host subnet or a host port to drop any incoming multicast stream while still accepting IGMP and sending out legal multicast streams?
Using 'ip pim accept-register' command on the rp is not an option because we've tons of legal sources which would end in an very huge error-prone acl
Unfortunately, a normal ACL is not an option here, too.
Best Regards
Thorsten

We use two pim routers in each host subnet for redundancy, they elect the PIM DR.
Does pim passive mode work here?
(Config Guide: If the ip pim passive command is configured on an interface enabled for IP multicast, the router will operate this interface in PIM passive mode, which means that the router will not send PIM messages on the interface nor will it accept PIM messages from other routers across this interface. The router will instead consider that it is the only PIM router on the network and thus act as the DR and also as the DF for all bidir-PIM group ranges. IGMP operations are unaffected by this command. ... The redundant PIM stub router topology is not supported. The redundant topology exists when there is more than one PIM router forwarding multicast traffic to a single access domain. PIM messages are blocked, and the PIM asset and designated router election mechanisms are not supported on the PIM passive interfaces.)
ip pim neighbor-filter maybe would work to prevent rogue pim routers to connect to the legal pim routers but wouldn't rogue pim routers still be able to manipulate the layer2 switch to send all igmp traffic to them and not to the legal pim routers?

How to publish a p2p/multicast stream

Hello,
Suppose I have a RTMP server (wowza) which strems this : rtmp://192.168.0.10/live, and the stream name is my.stream
The question is : which tool should I use to publish this stream to FMS using p2p/multicast mode ? So the output will be something like this :
rtmp://192.168.0.20/multicast/livestream1?fms.multicast.type=1&fms.multicast.groupspec=G%3 A01012105a665a45920422f9d417e4867efdc4fb8a04a1f3fff1fa07e998e86f7f7a27ae3010c160e666d732e6 d756c7469636173742e6578616d706c65210edde11d4d04c2a1b0d5514c19861fde3854dbd2fb012ae1bff6363 8fa3f334242011b00070ae00000fe75300415313233&fms.multicast.address=224.0.0.254%3A30000
I tried (using ffmpeg from xuggler) something like this :
/opt/xuggler/bin/ffmpeg -i "rtmp://192.168.0.10/live/my.stream" -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f flv "rtmp://192.168.0.20/multicast/livestream1?fms.multicast.type=1&fms.multicast.groupspec=G %3A01012105a665a45920422f9d417e4867efdc4fb8a04a1f3fff1fa07e998e86f7f7a27ae3010c160e666d732 e6d756c7469636173742e6578616d706c65210edde11d4d04c2a1b0d5514c19861fde3854dbd2fb012ae1bff63 638fa3f334242011b00070ae00000fe75300415313233&fms.multicast.address=224.0.0.254%3A30000"
But it didn't worked
Can somebody help me ?

Probably I haven't clearly understood your use-case, but looking at your question, I feel that you already have ts fragments and m3u8 file with you, that you want to serve to clients, and a simple Apache web server can do this task pretty easily (HTTP PUT from your encoder and HTTP GET from yuor clients).
I dont understand why do you want to publish these ts fragments and m3u8 containing their URLs as live to FMS. You may also like to use the Apache that comes bundled with FMS for this task, but it will always be a vod stream, not a live stream.
FMS, on the other hand can on the fly package (HLS JIT module) and deliever (serve the simple Apache GET requests for ts from clients based on m3u8) the m3u8 file that contains the ts fragments.

[Cisco FAQ] - DCM Gbe input port is not joining Multicast stream

Why does it do this and how do I fix this issue?

DCM will not join a multicast stream if the Gbe port is disabled while configuring IGMP for that port. Also when the DCM was joined but the Gbe port has been disabled for a longer time afterwards, it is necessary to reconfigure IGMP when the port is enabled. This to force the DCM again to join the multicast stream Solution : • Make sure the Gbe port is enabled • Remove and re-apply the IGMP configuration again to force the DCM to join the multicast again.

RTP (UDP) multicast stream with JMF...?!

Hi.
I am quiet new in the material of jmf and its plugins. I have a network which offers me an UDP stream (mpeg2 or mpeg4 both could be available). I can watch this stream with an freewareplayer called VLC.
When using the JMF Studio tool, I can't watch the stream ... The Player is waiting for signals and breaks after 60 seconds. So, okay ... Maybe the JMF doesn't bring the right codec with it.
Now I've installed jffmpeg, but that doesn't help a lot. I write done the JAR File in Classpath and installed the Plugin, MimeType and Demultiplexer (as described) in the JMF Registry. The behaviour of JMF Studio is the same. Does anybody have an idea wether jffmpeg supports this kind of streaming
and/or what I can do to get the stream?! Maybe there is an better Plugin for my solution.
I can't suppose that nobody here ever tried to get an Mpeg2 or Mpeg4 multicast stream with JMF. There must be an solution.
Many thanks for your help and reply!
Jan Stanetzki

Hi funnyjanni,
May be I am writing this after 4 years.
I am also in the stage when you faced the same problem. You might have found the solution to this.
Please help me on this. I am trying to use jffmpeg to play UDP mutlicast stream.
Thanks

FMS; multicast streaming from Digital Rapids

Has anyone had experience configuring multicast streaming from Digital Rapids encoders to an FMS 4.5 server? I can stream RTMP to the FMS server and access the video with an embedded Flash player easily enough, but I'm interested in setting up the FMS to allow clients to access a multicast stream. Most Adobe support documentation refers to Adobe Media Encoder Live for the multicast connection configs, not necessarily non-Adobe encoders, so I'm missing a step or two.
Thanks,
Hugh

Following is the link to setup multicast streaming:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS7812b00092aae0 dc-2829dcd012a54a3ed1a-8000.html
Instead of publishing from Flash Media Live Encoder, you can publish from DR Encoder by making an "rtmp" connection to the "multicast" app on the AMS server and then start publishing to that app from the encoder using the "Publish Stream Name" generated by Multicast Config Tool.

Multicast streaming suddenly stopped working :\

I've setupped a multicast streaming flash application (a broadcaster and a receiver), following Tom's video tutorial (using my own Cirrus developer key)
Everything was working okay.
About a week later - I ran the same code without a change - and suddenly it doesn't seem to work. There are no errors... all of the status-handlers' (event.info.code) show what they are supposed to show -
only - the receiver doesn't show the video of the broadcaster... no matter what I tried.
What could be the reason for this?
Is there a certain "expiration date" for the Cirrus developer key, or something like that?
Thanks,
Yuval.

no, Cirrus developer keys don't expire. if you're connecting to Cirrus, that means your developer key is good.
are you sure *nothing* changed? no network equipment changes, no software changes, etc?
without more detail it's not possible to diagnose your problem. are the publisher and subscriber really joining the same group? do you see the NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect events fire on both sides? does your GroupSpecifier enable multicast and not disable P2P? is the subscriber playing the same stream name that the publisher is publishing to? etc.

Multicast stream to DMP from DMM

I am using a Qvidium encoder to create a multicast stream. If i go into the web interface of the DMP, I can play the multicast stream. I would like to put that stream into a presentation and send it to the DMP, and play the stream inside a video play list. Any help on this would be wonderful.
Bill

Jeff,
Good news, I have been able to supply a multicast stream to a video playlist inside a presentation. I had to create a UDP video asset with the following url:
udp://239.20.20.1:1234?multicast
obviously the IP address of my stream and port will be what ever you set it to, but adding the ?multicast is what turned it on for me.
Hope that helps.
Bill

Multicast streaming on wireless

Hi all,
I want to start streaming multicast video across wireless. Lucky for me, the stream isn't of too high bandwidth (100-200 kbps). However, it is multicast based so: UDP packet streaming, no ACK mechanisme.
Our setup is completely WISM based.
However, i have done some tests in the lab streaming 50 pkts/seconds to my wireless PC (connected in 54mbps g, excellent signal quality) and i get about 13% packet drops. Much too high drop rate for video streaming.
What methods are available to decrease this drop rate on wireless ?
Any docs will help,
regards,
Geert

After doing some more research about EDCF and WMM (QOS things to improve voice over wireless), i am trying to set this up for the multicast streaming.
However, in the Unified Wireless Multicast Design guide, i see "The QOS bits of the LWAPP multicast packet are hard coded at the lowest level and are not user changeable". And indeed, i have done a sniffer capture of a multicast stream: it enters the controller with DSCP EF, however the LWAPP encapsulated packets to the LWAPP distribution group have DSCP 0.
According to the QOS Voice design guide, the DSCP marking of the original packet is transferred into LWAPP packet and from their on the 802.11.
Does this mean that the whole EDCF and WMM stuff to improve QOS on wireless, doesn't effect the multicast stream ? So with real multicast, i am stuck with QOS = 0 ??

Multicast stream problem with windows media service

Hi,
I'm on a simple LAN composed by cisco 3560G and 3750G switches. On one of my switches, i've connected a windows media server that stream tv in unicast and multicast mode.
When i run the http://myserver/mystream.nsc generated by the server on the current server, it's working, i can see my stream. The problem is in the stations, i'm unable to see it.
I've activated IGMP Snooping on each switchs.
Here is the log of debug ip igmp snooping on the switch where the server is connected :

As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

I need help with CSS and floating

Okay, I know I need to get up on CSS and get rid of tables in
my sites.
However, I'm running up against a problem, and after banging
my head
against it for a while, I realize I need help. I've stripped
this down
so as to only show the area where I'm having difficulty.
What I want is a page that has everything down the center,
taking up no
more than 750 pixels and no more than 550 pixels of width. No
problem there.
After the header and the top content, I'd like to have two
"columns",
each in it's own separately-colored box. I would like the
right-side
column/box to be a static size, while the left-side
column/box sizes
dynamically.
Where I'm having problems is that when one column is boxed,
it's fine,
but whenever I wrap each column in its own box, the
fixed-size box
either jumps below or above the other box (depending on which
one has
been floated and which order the div's appear in the code).
Here are the links:
CSS:
http://www.afice.org/stylesheet/floatmestyles.css
ex 1:
http://www.afice.org/floatme1.html
ex 2:
http://www.afice.org/floatme2.html
Before sending, I took a look again, just to see if I was
missing
anything. I did notice that it doesn't seem to be that the
box is
jumping down so much as it is that it's getting written over.
Anyway, sorry for the long-winded explanation. I hope I've
managed to
explain what I'm trying to do well enough that someone can
tell me where
I'm going wrong.
Thanks,
--Kevin

Do you want something like this:
http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/spointfooter.htm
You will need to look at the code to see how it was done.
Otherwise, there are different examples here on Pauls' site:

Rented movie not playing. I have 81Mbps Internet and can stream anything else HD. it's not WiFi either because signal strength is full and I can view anything other than rented movies on apple TV unit. it charges me for renting but doesn't play

Rented "Gone Girl" on apple tv. It charges me, but will not play for more than 4 seconds at a time. I have exercised every step of apple's troubleshooting and nothing fixes the problem. I have a very strong, steady 81 Mbps Internet connection speed and can stream any other HD through the apple tv except for this rented movie. This is not the first time this has happened either. I just gave apple $6 for free and am currently watching the movie streaming through my cable provider's on demand channel with ease. Oh yeah, and when I seek apple support for the issue, apple wants $2 just to contact someone! Give me my money back please and I will never attempt to use your poor tv service again.

The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC using iCloud and Photo Stream?

I am quite confused with how iCloud and Photo Stream work to transfer photos and videos from my iPhone to my PC. I recently ran out of my space on iPhone so I need to delete all of my pictures and videos but I first want to confirm that they have all been transferred over to my PC. I have iCloud setup but here lately I have been getting the warning message that iCloud could not perform it's backup because I was out of space on iCloud. I had not worried about it since I figured that all of my pictures and videos were on my iPhone anyway and the only reason I would need them on iCloud would be for a backup. Anyway, how can I confirm that everything has been transferred over to my PC? Then, what is the quickest way to delete all of my exisiting photos and videos off of my iPhone? I found the Photo Stream folder on my PC... Is everything automatically added to this when I connect my iPhone to my PC? If I delete something off of my iPhone is it deleted from the Photo Stream folder on my PC? Please help and thank you! I just don't want to lose any of my stuff!

How to use CSS and images in a plsql-dbms_output reports?

Hi.
Windows 2000 SP4
SQL Developer 1.2.1.32.13
Java 1.5.0_07
Oracle 9.2.0.6
I'm trying to create a plsql-dbms_output report with HTML that uses a stylesheet (CSS) and an image. These seem to be ignored by the report viewer.
The following example works fine in Internet Explorer 6 but the stylesheet is ignored by the viewer and the viewer does not show the images (shows broken images instead). I've tried with various image types (PNG, GIF and JPEG).

Is the HTML viewer limited to not support stylesheets and images?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

It also seems that links don't work. The mouse cursor changes to a hand when hovering over links and the links are shown in blue and underlined but nothing happens when clicking on them.
