MeetingPlace Express 7 or 8 basic audio only solution...help!

I have a customer with an existing UC 7.1.x cluster (a la carte licence) and a legacy MeetingPlace Express 2.1.1.2 solution providing audio conferencing only. The customer now wishes to up-grade the MeetingPlace solution to a latter version for support purposes and to increase the number of ports.
All that is required is the ability to schedule audio conferences and hold ad-hoc meetings; the solution requires 52 audio ports. There are no requirements for Webex external meetings, web or video; all that’s needed is simple audio bridging.
Am I right in thinking that the MCS Node for MP8 has no Webx VoIP/Video support, is an internal solution and is deployed on a single server (MCS)? Looking at various Cisco docs it’s also suggested that a Webex account is still required as MediaTone is extended to site?
Any advise would be greatly received!

Thank you, as I noted here, your post was the key to my getting a Windows 8 SecureBooting setup on a W530.
In the case of Windows 8, I needed to copy the files away, reformat my USB key as FAT32 and copy the files back, and viola I was able to boot from my USB install media with the BIOS set to only boot UEFI. From there, there rest was easy (for Windows 8, the copying and renaming is not necessary, the key is having a FAT32 partition on the USB media, rather than an NTFS one; the EFI files are already in the right location).
Thank you again good sir.
You are welcome... and I'm happy that the change of the file system helps with windows 8 too. Thanks for confirming that.

No Audio, Only Video - Help

I am brand new to DVD authoring, I used compressor 2 to export 2 hours of video for DVDSP.
Compression went fine, but when I imported assets, it only had video.
Where is the audio? I checked the set-ups but did not see anything relevant to including audio.
Thanks in advance.

I just updated to dvdsp4 with the new compressor.
I had to update to QT7.0.3 too which bothers me.
I went to compress my Imovie .mov file to 90min high quality
and it starts out specifying 1hour 10 minutes for both audio and
video compression but, after about 15 minutes it has added time
to completion to 2 hours 30 minutes.
I had this problem before when qt7 wasn't compatible with compressor and
it would take forever to compress.
I noticed a new compressor in this DVDSP4 upgrade which excited me only to see what looks like the same old problem of incompatibility.
When I used QT6 with DVDSP3 it would compress audio and video quickly with no problems.
Is this still a problem with QT7.0.3 and compressor?

Meetingplace express 1.2 voice only meetings

Is there a way to schedule voice only meetings in Meetingplace express 1.2?
We seem to only be able to schedule Voice+Web.
Thanks,

Hi Andy,
I looked into this once before and never came up with an answer :) but it looks like Ginger came up with an excellent one! Have a look at this thread;

Meetingplace express 1.2 vocie-only meeting schedule

We have just installed meetingplace express 1.2. I cannot find where in the web interface you schedule a voice only meeting. If we schedule a meeting for more participants then web-colaberation licenses it asks if we want to switch to voice only- never to schedule voice only form the start. How can we do vocie only from the start?

Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

MeetingPlace Express Remote Party Video

Hi there,
is it able to prevent users...better to say remote parties....from receiving video flow??
I want to allow only group of premium users to receive a video flow. But other users must be only "audio-listeners".
Do i have such capabilities in MeetingPlace Express? Or I have to disable Video Capabilities in the CUCM for those users?

You can't. The video broadcast feature of the Adobe Breeze web interface was never implemented in MPE.

Meetingplace express licensing

Hi ,
I want to know that if I deploy meetingplace express for Voice and Video conferencing. is it required for me to buy WEB licencing as well ?
in other way if I both only Voice and Video Licenses , how Can I use audio/video conference ?

Hi,
You shouldn't be buying Meeting Place Express any more.
You should be looking at the MeetingPlace suite.
If you just want audio / video conferencing then you could look at MeetingPlace 8 - probably looking at least 2 servers in this scenario. 1 for MP app server, 1 for web scheduling. Then you have option of using software bridging on the app server (Express Media Server) component, or external hardware bridges.

Can MeetingPlace Express make conference calls with just meeting ID and meeting password?

Hi,
We have MeetingPlace Express version 2.1.1.2. It is working fine and everything but we need to change the way it works.
For audio only conference calls, we need the users to be able to initiate meetings without having to enter their profile ID and profile password.
For example when a caller dials the MPE number and presses 1 to start a meeting, he has to enter his PIN code to be authorized to start a meeting, we want to exclude this feature, so that any one who dials the number and wants to start a meeting, he will get a meeting ID and meeting password directly.
Is this possible in MPE 2 ? Appreciate your help please, thanks in advance.

I poked around a system I have nearby and can't find a setting that is an obvious choice for this one. I experience the same behavior at the 30 minute mark.
One alternate approach you may try is called a continuous meeting. The viability of this approach depends on how this is being used:
This likely will NOT work if you have lazy users who can't manage their time.
The reason is a continuous meeting always consumes the licenses for itself, even if there are not participants currently in it.
This may work if you have defined groups of users who repeatedly meet as a group in an ongoing manner.
A continuous meeting is a scheduled meeting that reserves ports and a meeting ID indefinitely, so that
participants may join the meeting at any time on any day. Nevertheless, a continuous meeting is in
session only when at least one participant is in the meeting.
I searched high-and-low for documentation on this and the only two items that I can turn up are these:
http://www.ciscosystems.org/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace_express/1_1/english/administration/guide/bagmtgs.pdf (page five)
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Express,_Release_2.x_--_How_to_Configure_Scheduled_and_Reservationless_Meetings#Enabling_Users_to_Schedule_Continuous_Meetings
One downer though: I cannot get the Continuous option to appear on my MPE 2.1.1.2 hotfix 36 (last release) system. Either I'm missing an option myself or something is wrong in this version.

How can I stream the audio only to my Apple TV while watching the video on my iPad?

Hi everybody!
My question might sound a little confusing to some of you, but anyway: When I watch a video on my iPad (youtube app, facebook, etc.) I would like to watch the video on my iPad and stream the audio to my atv, which is connected to my hifi. Currently, every time I hit the airplay button both video AND audio will be streamed.
Many people complain about only streaming audio, but that's precisely what I am looking for! I don't want to turn on my TV for every silly 0:30 min youtube video. I would love to find something like this:
Cheers for any help!

you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

Audio only comes from left

I was recently trying to play my powerbook into my stereo with a direct RCA connection and I noticed that the audio was only coming out of the left speaker of the stereo. At first I thought it was the stereo but then I hooked my ipod up to the stereo and it worked fine. I hooked up to the stereo to my airport express and it produced audio through both speakers. The audio also only comes out on the left through the computer. Any ideas on what to do? Also, it is not just from iTunes the audio only comes out on the left with quicktime too.

I was just looking around - seems like there are lots of people with this problem. I was originally looking to see if anyone had a problem with their PowerBook's audio output jack - mine won't let the headphones plug all the way in. But I'd also noticed a frequent balance problem.
The consensus seems to be that if you adjust your sound during a period of high CPU-usage it'll lose proper balance. I ran Audio MIDI Setup (Applications->Utilities) and experimented with adjusting the volume. Lo and behold! When I would hit the volume keys on my keyboard, the sliders wouldn't move quite the same! Quite annoying. Seems that over time the difference gets greater.
Kevin Konikowski pointed out in this thread (http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b6e310) that an application called balanced exists with the sole purpose of keeping your balance at 50%. You can find it here:

Frustrating, but much more manageable knowing what's going on!

Broadwell Intel Audio Only HDMI Output

I have been trying for the last couple of days to get audio working on my Dell New XPS 13 (too new, maybe?). I don't think it's a hardware failure because the laptop is only four days old and the audio works when booted into Windows 8.1 (which is my YouTube OS for now).
The problem is that it detects that I only have HDMI audio (which I'm assuming refers to the mini display port on the laptop).

I'll look into that when I get home today, though my quick glance looks like it may hose some other things on the system. We'll see I guess.
I was afraid it was an issue of the chipset just being too new, and it looks like that might be the case. Maybe the next kernel update will help.
EDIT: Other than the audio issue, the laptop really is nice. It's very solid, lightweight, and small. I haven't tried any games on it yet, but I'm hoping it works well enough for some indie games.

Front Row .mov - audio only

Hi guys, i've been trying to watch some .MOV files in Front Row and it has issues with some only playing audio.
As far as i can deduce, with basically nil knowledge about computing, the common theme with files played in Front Row, playing audio only, is that they have been filmed on iphone with the iPhone upright and hence the format described by QTime Inspector as the video's 'normal size' is 720x1280 but the displayed/played format is 1280x 720.
I've played with all settings in Movie Properties (there were only a small handful of links to discussions with folks experiencing similar issues) to no avail.
It isn't essential that i can see these movies in Front Row, but i would like to be able to.
any help would be ace, thank you.

Hi.
Have you tried loading Perian (www.perian.org)? That will provide you with many additional CODECs which SHOULD solve the problem...

Audio/video chat works but audio only doesn't

Audio-video chats (both 2-way and one-way) work, but audio ONLY chats don't work (connection error). One machine is running 10.4.2 and the other 10.3.9. Doesn't seem like this would be a firewall or bandwidth issue if AV chats are working fine. Why would this happen?

I have the same issue, as well as the other iChat issues on other posts. When our offices (SF area & LA area, CA, US) were on 10.3.9, no problems with audio or video chats (we all have AIM screen names). Then the boss upgraded to 10.4.1. He could a/v chat with anyone inside our network and could video (with sound) with the other office, but not audio only. When he is at home he could a/v with anyone. We upgraded one more computer in our office to 10.4.1 and it was able to audio chat to other Tiger machines outside the office, but not Panther machines (can chat with anyone inside too). Now the boss and I have upgraded these same machines to 10.4.2 and the audio chat doesn't work outside the office anymore and we still can't chat with Panther machines outside the office.
Our office has Netopia Cayman 3546-002 ADSL Broadband Gateway on SBC Yahoo DSL at 4936 kbps down/493 kbps up. I called Netopia and had them help me open up the ports (I had them look at the apple tech document so they could help me get it right). It has NAT enabled and all the computers on this LAN have static addresses. Most of the computers access the LAN through the airport express (which just bounces the signal from the wired side). I think we have port forwarding or mapping set up for our two servers...the router looks at the address from the WAN side and routes it to the address on the LAN side. Firmware is up to date on the router.
I did not originally set up this network and have spent much time reading the user manual for the modem/router (it's a combo device) and trying suggestions here and from Level 2 at Apple. They say it is our network, but I don't know how to fix it.
I don't think this router has any UPnP capability, that I could find in the manual. Also what is SIP? I need a description of it or at least what that acronym stands for. Also, I've seen stuff about using the Terminal to change the telenet port. This routers telenet is set to 23, that should be fine for iChat, right? No conflict?
Please help this tortured soul!! Thanks.

MeetingPlace Express Assistance

Hi All,
We have MeetingPlace Express version 2.1.1.2.
We need to configure it to accept any user to make a non-scheduled conference directly, without requesting the user to enter his profile ID and profile password, and without the need to add the data of the users into the MeetingPlace.
We just need it to act as an audio conference bridge, so we need the user to dial the MeetingPlace number, then he can enter a certain password (one password for all our staff) to enable our employees to log into the MeetingPlace, and then get the Meeting ID and Meeting password and start the meeting.

Sherif,
You are going to want to export using all of the headers and leaving them intact in the import file. You will want to follow the steps below for a successful import as the system is really sensitive that the data is formatted a certain way.
Create a test user profile in MPE manually so that you can get the file format of the import file with the headers.
Export User Profiles.
Export this test user profile to a file and include the header information.
This will create a User_Profiles.txt file that you will save and then open up in Excel. (Follow these steps below to ensure that the file is formatted correctly)
1. Within Excel, click on the Open tool on the toolbar. Excel displays the Open dialog box. (To display this dialog box in Excel 2007/2010, click the Office button and then click on Open.)
2. Using the Files of Type drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, indicate that you want to open Text Files (*.prn; *.txt; *.csv).
3. Select the saved export file.
4. Click on Open. Excel starts the Text Import Wizard, displaying the Step 1 of 3 dialog box.
5. Make sure the Delimited choice is selected, then click on Next. Excel displays the Step 2 of 3 dialog box.
6. Select Comma as a delimiter, then click on Next. Excel displays the Step 3 of 3 dialog box.
7. Click on Finish. Your file is imported.
8. Once the file is opened up in Excel, import your users into this spreadsheet so that they conform to the necessary format and the required headers.Next, find the "isLocalUser" field and set the parameter value for al user profiles from "No' to 'Yes'. Then find the EncryptedProfilePWD and EncryptedUserPWD fields. Remove the 'Encrypted' portion of the field name in the header so that they now read ProfilePWD and UserPWD. Make sure the value for the ProfilePWD for these user profiles is a standard alpha password. (cisco) Then make sure the value for the UserPWD for these user profiles is a standard numeric password. (12345). You may just be able to leave them as they are from your import.
9. Save the file with the changes.
10. Go to the Application MPE Web Page and then Maintenance-->Import Data-->Import User Profiles.
11. Select 'Add Profiles To System', select file to import, and set Overwrite field to 'Yes". (You should also set the log information to file option.)
12. Hit 'Execute' to import the user profiles to the system.
13. Once this is completed successfully, then go check the User Profile configuration to ensure that all users are imported correctly into MPE.
If you run into any problems with this procedure, please open an SR with TAC so that we can assist further.
Thank You,
Gerry
