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

  • How to use flash media server with cisco show n share live event module?

    hello all
    Is it  possible to use flash media server in show n share (non dme)live event ?  i 've configured flash media server, can receive  multicast streams, bu i have no idea what to write in video url fild in the live event basic setup.

    Hi Temur,
    You should be able to stream from a Flash Media Server.
    The URL should look like this:
    rtmp://xxx.yyy.com//flv:
    You can do some tests from a PC to get the exact URL that would suit your environment.

  • Multicast Show and Share live event from TCS

    Hi
    I have a deployment with DMM, SnS, and TCS and C90 Telepresence codec.
    The TCS is sending the live stream to the SnS server. The question is if it is possible to multicast that live event to the SnS clients, or is unicast the only option here?
    If unicast is the only option with the current deployment, is it possible to make a multicast stream with a different deployment?
    I would appriciate any thoughts on this.
    Regards,
    Ola Dallokken

    Hi, yes you can use mutlicast to do this(but as Gabriel says its not SNS tat streams it, it is merely a container looking at the raw stream from the TCS or wherever you choose to pull it from) but its a complete waste of time IF your network isnt setup for Multicast AND if you have WAN sites running slow links...TCS uses Microsoft Windows Media Server for Uni/multi and is inherently TERRIBLE in sending multicast traffic..! If you have wireshark have a look for yourself..unicast it can deal with and it will send a nice consistent stream but Multicast bursts all over the shop(so a 500k stream can burst to 2mb..which is not a good thing if yhou know about routing congestion etc etc)...took me months of workng out the root cause of the issue and to eventually get Cisco to fess up about it and say 'yes' its an issue. Its really a Microsoft issue and unfortunately thats what Cisco's TCS platform sits on....:).
    Forget reading he 'standard' Cisco blurb as it will say try this and try that, tweak this and tweak that but in the end you just cant use it (unless as i say your on a LAN or your WAN has big links and can deal with the overheads!) also unless you have a TAC engineer who has actually deployed this and not just read the manual they wont having wokring knowledge of the issue either. It took me a long time to find someone at Cisco who actually did know the issue and would actually admit it was a issue..I guess thats why the developed ECDS. Now thats a good product.But as usual not cheap at all.
    Thats why Cisco talk about 'Wowza'..!(or atleast they use it as an example in thier blurb for streaming and not the TCS) As it can deal with multicast fine BUT the catch is its not supported by Cisco...:)...the only REAL solution is to use a content delivery system like Cisco ECDS. Believe me i have spent months going through this with TAC Engineers and i have the current ' Cisco Expert' in this field who has helped me alot with this. Its a very sad fact to find out 'after' the fact. 
    Also the new SNS will be very different so will lend itself to ECDS in the long run anywa so all this we are discussing becomes a mute point...
    Hope this helps.  If you need any assistance apart from the TAC let me know as i have just spent a fair while deploying this myself and working out 'ALL' the non documented issues, of which there seem to be alot. Once its in it seems to work ok though.

  • Presenter View During Live Events In Show and Share

    Hi,
    I am a bit confused about the user authorisation during live events of Show and Share. There is a user who is creating the event and publishing it. I think this user should be the moderator. He can see the questions tab and check the questions coming from the other participants and send them to the presenter view tab.
    I have found some information about the moderator and presenter in the user guide for show and share but I could not find out which user can be a presenter, or are the presenter and the moderator the same user or not.
    Below is from user guide:
    The live event moderator pre-screens these incoming questions and comments as they arrive. Moderators can:
    • Move any high-priority questions to the Presenter’s View tab. • Move any low-priority questions to the Removed Questions tab, either manually or automatically by keyword. • Use keyword filters to see and manage only the messages that match those keywords.
    . The presenter then responds to any number of these pre-screened questions and comments. (These are messages that the moderator moved to the Presenter’s View tab.)
    From the above information, it seems that there are seperate presenter and moderator, but is there a way to assign a user other than moderator only the presenter rights?

    Great question, Ken!  I too would like to know if there is a way to transfer video content management to an other author.  In the case that a user publishes content and later leaves the company, retaining control of the published material is a requirement.

  • 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

  • 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) 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 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.

  • 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.
