Show and Share: How to add thumbnail for uploaded by URL

Hi all,
I upload video by URL in Show and Share. Can I manually add thumbnail for video? and how to?
Thank you very much.
Bintasan Mokkamakkul

As per docs, the default behavior for show and share is to assign a
thumbnail based on the length of the video:
Check out:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/user/guide/edit-delete.html#wp1079137
TABLE: Please match the # for each section:
If your video is ...
1. less than 3 seconds long
2. Between 3 and 8 seconds long
3. 8 seconds or longer
It uses this frame for the thumbnail...
1. 0 seconds
2. 4 seconds
3. 8 seconds
If you have a video that is longer than 8 seconds, but the title shot only lasts for 5 seconds, the automatically generated thumbnail may not contain your video title. Or, if you recorded a message, the system may have captured an unflattering facial expression for the thumbnail. Use this procedure to correct the situation.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/user/guide/edit-delete.html#wp1079137
The procedure to modify the thumbnail is listed in the link above. You
need to go to your uploaded videos and click "Edit Video" then follow
the instructions above to move the slider where you want the thumbnail
to be.
Please keep in mind that video editing is only possible for some video
formats:
Table 6-1 Video Format Editing Support
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/user/guide/edit-delete.html#wp1080725
I hope this helps!
Cheers!

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

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

How to get cisco show and share

Hi,
I have a DMM with version 5.2 and saw that on my licesing I have show and share. But how do I install show and share? Can I install it on DMM server?Do I need to install it in another server? Where can I download it? I think the show and share installation is called SS-5.2.0.20.iso, but I do not found it on cisco support download section.

Mario,
Show and Share(SnS) is an Appliance just like your Digital Media Manager (DMM).
You have to purchase the Appliance from Cisco or a Cisco Partner. Then you have
to purchase use licenses for Authors etc... The Appliance software is not separate
from the hardware and is not downloadable.
Please contact your Cisco Sales Rep or Account for further explanation and they
can assist you with your companies needs.
Thanks!

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

SNS Show and Share Thumbnails

Show and Share Thumbnails do not display properly.
I created a new DNS entry name (utube.domain.com) in our DNS pointing to the same IP address of the Show and Share server.
Using the new DNS name in the URL, web page display broken thumbnails (everything else works fine including clicking on thumbnail).
http://utube.domain.com:8080
If I use the original servername in the URL, thumbnails display properly.
http://ent-sns-dms1-1155-nyc.domain.com:8080
We want to use a new name so users can easily remember the SNS site, instead of the actual server name (which follows the enterprise standard naming convention, which we all know, often are long and not easy to remember).
Someone said to me the only way to do this is to rename the SNS server's hostname to the new name we want to use.

Just Locally for now. We are in the early stages of testing. I resolved it by following what tac said - by changing the hostname of the server and then clicking on verify button again beside the Publish Locally check box.

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 :-

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

RSS Feeds in Show and Share

Hi all,
We have deployed Show and Share in our enterprise, and Cisco DMM with DMP licenses.
We would like to integrate the Show and Share updates using the RSS feeds, is it possible to disable the authentication requirement for the RSS feed?
Thanks in advance.

Mail in Mountain Lion no longer supports RSS feeds. You have to install an RSS feed reader, as the message suggested.
Regarding the Messages question, see:

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!

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 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

Can't set File Hosting Locations on Show and Share

Hi,
I'm currently using Show and Share 5.2. I have it peered with the DMM and everything for the most part seems to be working fine. The problem that I'm having is that I can't seem to set and save the File Hosting Locations. I set it to store locally and it shows a valid password, but it will not save the setings. I've tried this in multiple browser: the latest firefox and IE. Any ideas?

Are you using the Actual Appliances or are you testing with VMware images?
Please gather and upload the following screenshots:
* Go to the AAI interfaces for BOTH the DMM & the SnS. Please provide a screen capture
of the Pairing status screens for each appliance.
* Go to the DMM --> Admin Module and get a screenshot of the services for the DMM & the SnS.
Is there any error when trying to save settings? Please provide the screen shot
of that..
Thanks
