Show and Share block... video

I have a few users that report they cannot upload videos and on the screen for doing the upload they show a tab in the right hand corner that says Block...
I have not been able to duplicate this. Anyone know what this is? It appears to be a Cisco tab, not IE.

Hello,
You can only edit .flv or .mp4 files within the Show & Share interface.
The .wmv (windows media) files need to be edited or previewed externally.
Make sure that your streaming server is running for the Show and Share.
You can check this in the SERVICES tab of the Admin Module of the DMM.
The Streaming server must be running to enable the editing feature for the
Flash & mpeg4 files.
I hope this helps!

Show and Share edit video and previews?

Hi I am trying to add previews to all my published videos all the videos I have so far are .wmv and I realized SnS does not allow me to modify anything. But when I try to modify a video recorded from my webcam (.flv) it does allow modifactions and previws eventhough I can't the watch the published video recorded from webcam.
Do these issues have to do with the fact that I have wmv and also flv files? If so, why I can't do to a wmv what I am allowed to do on a flv?
Thanks!

Show and Share: Upload video with link URL

Hi all,
Is it use to add the video that is in external server? Can you give me an example for upload video in SnS with link URL? My system has Wowza streaming server.
Thank you.
Bintasan Mokkamakkul

Basically, when you want to add\upload a video to Show and Share you can simpy:
1. Upload the file itself
2. Use a URL link of where the video content is located. This is typically a WEB Server url.
such as:
http://webserver.company.com/videos/movietrailer.flv

Uploading YouTube videos/urls into Cisco Show and Share

We've just purchased the DMM 5.2 and the Show and Share appliance to host internal company videos but there are some YouTube videos out there that we want to pull into our Show and Share system as well. How can we do this? I've tried every possible combination of youtube url and embedded url that is out there, at least nothing that I've tried has worked thus far. I'm able to pull in other internal URLs of different videos (wmv format) without any trouble. Is this an issue with YouTube or perhaps with flv formatted video that YouTube uses (which should work according to the manual).
I know this is a new product, but is there anyone that can help?
Thank you in advance,
Chris

Chris,
The YouTube videos are typically Flash content.
The key here is that you need to download the Flash content
yourself and then Upload to the Show and Share.
Use the DIRECT URL of the Flash Content on YouTube to download
the FLV to you Personal device. After file successfully download, simply
upload the file to Show and Share.
For example:
Cisco Show and Share Flash Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzquCVvS0qQ
* this link is the actual Dashboard URL not the video link
http://v4.lscache8.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWRlRRVF9FSkNNNl9MS1hB&fexp=904405%2C901902&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1271466000&key=yt1&signature=1E65C92607546EA03DE0D1082884574D3F58AD0F.93FF9FDB00B10B44BBB52F31AADF3EB50FCEB7CC&factor=1.25&id=673aae095bd2d2a4&
* Actual URL of Video Content
========================================================
FOR THOSE THAT ARE USING OSX & SAFARI:
======================================
If you need to download FLASH Content for TESTING in your DMS Solution, You
can download Flash Videos from YouTube.
Note: The Video Quality is NOT HD or even SD... it is ID (Internet Definition)
      Also, the downloaded file will be a .flv Flash File.
1. Open a Video on YouTube, Google Video etc.
2. Press "Alt+Cmd(Apple-Key)+A" - A window opens named "Activity".
3. Select the ".flv" file (looking on filesize helps) and press "Cmd(Apple-Key)+C" to copy.
   Paste with "Cmd(Apple-Key)+V" the URL to your Adress Bar and press Enter.
4. If you need a different video format such as MPEG, WMV, or SWF; you will need to convert
   the downloaded ".flv" file with VisualHub or VLC
If this answers your question, Please take time to mark this
discussion answered & rate the response.
Thank You!

Show and Share API : Uploading a video to a particular user group

Hi,
I am trying to find a API spec for uplaoading a vide in Show and Share portal for a specific user group. But could not find such thing as usergroup, but just the Content Viewership is available where we need to input all the ____USERNAME____ to upload with access to the users rather than a user group.
I would like to know if anyone can direct me to upload to specific usergroup rather than user.
Thanks in Advnace,
JK

Jeffrey,
What is the content format of the ORIGINAL source comment?
- download MEDIAINFO video analysis program from the web.
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
- After installed, file->open-> pick your source file with issue.
- change the view to TEXT and copy\paste the results into a
TEXT file and upload here.
From the MXE, highlight the SnS-MXE job and right click and
open the JOB XML. Same thing save the XML code in a text
file and upload here
Sidenote: did you download the DMSprofile.zip file from the web
and install the DMS profiles in the profile directory?
Thanks

Show and Share "Record a video" change bit rate?

In Show and Share's user guide it states that when using the "Record a video" in SnS it defaults to 400bit rate at 320x240. Is there a way to change this?

Hello Tom
1- Yes this is could be from license issue.Can you check the license for your Cisco SNS?.
2- Can you also restart services of Cisco show and share "streaming server" from Cisco DMM as attached.
3-Can you check the pairing is ok.
4-Did you have MXE integration , after uploading the video , what is the status of job "completed or failes".
Note:I got same problem before when i changed my FQDN from name to other but i fixed .

External file hosting for Show and Share

Hi,
If I only use FTP server (no external streaming server) for external file hosting, can show and share still play the video? Is there any other limitation beside video editing with this scenario?
Thanks.

Hi
1- If your upload your files locally on your SNS , SNS will be the origin server and will be responsible for "RTMP and HTTP". For External hosting files which is highly recommended by Cisco , you have to use external streaming server and Wowza server or Adobe flash server and this will allow all videos .flv , MP4 , WMV,,etc displayed and without streamin server the videos won't be displayed. I hope to take a look for the below :-

No Thumbnails In Show and Share

I am running Cisco Show and Share 5.3 with a Wowza media server and am able to play videos fine, but the thumbnails are not showing up. I can see the thumbnails in the draft but when I publish the video the thumbnails are not displayed. I don't get any errors when I publish the video.

Normally thumbnails are stored in the default hosting location (*.*). If this points to the Wowza server make sure the virtural directory pointed to in SnS is setup properly. This is created on the Wowza server. This is done by going to Start/Administrative Tools/Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Click on the plus sign next to the server name and in front of Sites and right click on Default Web Sites to Add Virtual Directory. Name your virtual directory and use that name in the URL in the default hosting location. When you define the virtual directory point the directory to the file location defind in the default hosting location. You should see the thumbnails in this directory on the Wowza server.
Let me know if you have any questions

Show and Share (SnS) Content Played on DMP-4310G

Hi all,
It's it possible to play video on demand from the SnS server?
Is there any documentation that would provide me with the configuration and requirements?
Thanks in advance

Hi Mike,
The document I sent to you just show how to set up the streaming points in Cisco Show and Share. What are you trying to achieve can be done by using the Cisco Digital Sign module from DMS solution, which will allow you to send the videos to the Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP). The Cisco Show and Share module is dedicated to the desktop clients as this is a video portal. You might have to check if you have the license to run Cisco Digital Sign module.
You might want to try to run the video in the DMP's as standalone too as long as you have a streaming server and the videos are following the supported video format of DMP-4310G it will should play fine, but you will have more overhead in managing the video as you loose the centralize option of using the Cisco Digital Sign module.
Video codecs
• Video MPEG1
• Video MPEG2: Main Profile at High Level
• Video MPEG4 Part 10 Baseline and Main profiles
• Video Windows Media 9 and VC-1 - VoD only
• Aspect ratio: 4:3 and 16:9
• HD (up to 1080p at 16:9) progressive and interlace video resolution
• Video data rate up to 28 Mbps
• Internal Hardware Decoder delay configurable to < 1 sec
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/video/ps9339/ps7220/data_sheet_c78-625677.html
In case the video is not in the DMP supported format you might have to re-encode the video in one of the formats that are supported.
Hope that helps

Show and Share sns-svr-c200wg-k9

Hi;
We are configuring a Show and Share Workgroup server (part number sns-svr-c200wg-k9) for one of our customers, but I have one concern with this box. The server ONLY comes with a single 2TB drive, and does not seem to have any options for RAID configuration. I really don't like putting a server in to any customer without redundany on the drives. Does anyone know what is the best way to add a drive and at least get basic raid on this box?

Hi John,
There is no raid support for this device as you can see here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/video/ps9339/ps6682/data_sheet_c78-665107.html
What you can do is to configure SnS to store data on an external server which is Raid protected but you won't be able to have it on the SnS device directly.

Nicolas

Show and share & live event module problem

Hello everyone
recently i've installed cisco show and share , also with live event module.. I need to run live event without DME(digital media encoder), i need to run "NON-Dme live event" .
simply i need to attach my web cam to my live streaming event? is it possible?
There is a field "Video URL" but i dont know exactly how to use it..
thanks advanced

Hi Temur,
It's true that the Show and Share only supports either WMV or Flash streams as input. Therefore, you need to make sure that the camera you are using has that capability.
Unfortunately, I cannot tell you of any camera that works directly, because I don't know of any. Normally, for our lab tests, we use either a DME or a Windows Media server to generate the live streams.
Anyway, I would recommend you to have a look at the link below for a list of the supported bitrates and video dimensions.
Regards
Daniel

Cisco Show and Share Publish

Hello Everyone
Regarding to Cisco show and share , I have a question regarding to the URL which will be accessed by Cisco Show and Share users , is this URL same as the URL which is used for Administration?. I have two Show and share on for internal and other for External users , each one have URL. MY question regarding to end users access after i will pubblesh videos , they will access the same URL which is used to access administration page?. Your help is so highly apperciated for me.
Thanks

hello kamel,
i am not quite sure that i have understood your question but most probably is related with the following:
1) the SNS url either for end users or even for the admin is the same. For example, the "sns.video.com" url will be used both from admins and end users. Though, the admin, has some more privileges against end users and thus can access more pages on the same URL.
2)as for the internal and external sns servers, i believe that you have to deploy your videos twice if you want to have the same videos on both servers.
ifthe above doesnt answer to your questions please let me know.
thank you
