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.
Regards,
Nicolas

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

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!

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.

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

Uploading Youtube Vid. URL to Cisco Show and Share failed

Uploading Youtube Vid. URL to Cisco SnS failed. I get error msg. : Connection to video server failed

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.

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 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 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: 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

Cisco Show and Share – Last update?

Hi,
We’re currently using Cisco Show and Share as our internal video platform.
I believe there hasn’t been any form of update to the platform in more than 2 years and am wondering if we have missed something.
At the bottom of our interface we have the following text:
Show and Share and the Digital Media Manager are part of the Cisco Digital Media Suite.
© 2002-2011, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Warranty and End-User License Agreement
Does the 2011 date refer to our last update? This seems quite old if it does.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Regards,
Callan

Hi Callan:
That depends on the application(s) you're running, releases past 5.3.10 are supported only on a Cisco MXA UCS M3 server.
There is some info about that at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/conferencing/show-share/datasheet_c78-711706.html
Then there is also the following document covering 5.3.10:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/upgrade/hardware/SNS_5-3-10_Rel_Notes.html
Systems that can be migrated to a Cisco MXA UCS M3 server for SnS are:
UCS 210-M2, UCS 200-M2, MCS 7835-H3, WAVE-574.
Systems that can be migrated to a Cisco MXA UCS M3 server for DMM are:
UCS 210-M2, and MCS 7835-H3.
If you are running on another hardware platform (7835-H3 or UCS210, very likely because of the version you are on) then the following upgrade and/or hotfix information will still be of interest to you and you may have a path to 5.3 depending on what you're working with. A critical hotfix may apply to your system, and the following document guides you in the form of "if you are running _____, then do ________."
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_2/dms/release/notes/dms52rn.html#wp266747
5.3.7 still supports some older platforms, check this to see if your system is among them:

No. The page errors out. I tried http://server:8443/ & http://server:8080/ both error out.
What Browser Application & Version are you using when the error occurs?
Safari 4.0.5 & MacOS 10.6.3 & Flash 10.1
For some reason I cannot get past the flash applet with Firefox 3.6.3 on MacOS 10.6.3. I upgraded to Flash 10.1 hoping to remedy that, but it didn't matter.
An addiitional note: I can upload a video just fine.
Thanks for the help Tom!

Show and Share Automatically Assign Permissions

I have been looking and cannot find a whole lot on SnS permissions. Our DMS is version 5.3.11 and we are using embedded authentication. We have a setup so when a user connects to the TCS(5.3) to record a video it then automatically sends it to our MXE3500(3.3.2.0) then from there it automatically distributes it to our Show and Share and assigns it a category based on what address was dialed.
What we want to do is have group and or user permissions assigned to the categories so only those users can see the videos. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks for any help!
-Scott

Hi
Integration with Active Directory :Cisco Digital Media Manager 5.3 provides integration with Microsoft Active Directory
via the LDAP protocol to import both names and groups from Active Directory. Cisco Digital Media Manager and Show and Share users are then authenticated against MS Active Directory during the login process. By categorizing the uses into different user group within DMM, administrator can control and manage the content viewing permission within Show and Share by associating the user group to the video during the publishing stage. There are three Authentication Mechanism available: ‘Embedded Authentication’, ‘LDAP Authentication’ and ‘Federation Authentication’ .Currently, Microsofts Active Directory is the only LDAP service that is supported. You have to choose LDAP Authentication , as the attached photo
