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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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: 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!

  • 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 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.

  • 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".

  • 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

  • Best way to share a video with someone in another city...

    What is the best way to share a video with someone in another city?
    I know that FCPX contains all sorts of share options which create different resolutions and file sizes appropriate for different sites like YouTube, Facebook, and others.  But how to create the videos really isn't the problem.
    I want to know how to share them.  I'm creating videos that are ultimately to be viewed on the internet.  When I have a completed video, I want to show it to the person who it is for before I finalize it.  I know that if it very small, I could email it.  And if it's larger, I could use something like Dropbox.  But I don't necessarily want them to have a copy of it (though I could do that and put a watermark on it).
    I'd like to upload it to a site like YouTube or Vimeo, but those sites seem to be about sharing videos with a wide audience.  I know you can make a video private on YouTube, but, from what I've read, they permanently have the right to use the content, which I definitely don't want.
    So what's the best way to do this?  I'm going to have to do it regularly, so I'm willing to pay for a service if it assures privacy and does not try to assert some right to my content.
    I know there is an issue to be considered with people screen capturing content, but I'll use a watermark to lessen the chances of that.

    Hi Russ--
    I'll have to read through Vimeo's terms of service, but I have to think they're asserting some right to the content like YouTube does.
    Plus, these are commercial videos, and I don't think they allow that.  Of course, if they're private, I'm obviously not trying to sell anything.  But I have to think that it somehow is against their TOS since me posting a bunch of private videos that nobody can see really doesn't do them any good at all.
