HOTFIX
|
You can recover from these communication failures in 10 minutes or less by loading a hotfix on your DMM server. See http://cisco.com/web/software/282100271/56598/DMM-patch-CSCty22538-Readme.txt.
•The hotfix also works around a related failure, in which DMP certificate expiration disrupts use of a DMM advanced task called "File Transfer to DMP" (CSCty23792).
•The hotfix DOES NOT improve disrupted IP phone-based remote control of the Cisco Cast electronic program guide (CSCty36771).
The hotfix is fragile. IF YOU DO NOT use the permanent solution described below, any future upgrade of your DMM server could cause it to lose contact again with your affected DMPs. In such cases, you must then REAPPLY the hotfix.
|
PERMANENT FIX
|
You can prevent these communication failures altogether by installing DMP firmware release 5.3.5, which resolves these known defects: CSCty22538, CSCty23792, and CSCty36771.
Note To download this DMP firmware, you must have a valid service contract associated to your Cisco.com profile. If you do not have a service contract you can get one through your Cisco account team, your Cisco partner, or a qualified Cisco reseller. Then, once you have the service, you must associate it to your Cisco.com user ID at https://tools.cisco.com/RPF/profile/edit_entitlement.do?Tab=3.
1. Apply the hotfix to your DMM server, if you have not already done so. Otherwise, it cannot direct your DMPs to install their new firmware.
2. Obtain the new DMP firmware.
a. Log in to your Cisco.com account, and then go to http://cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=280936311&flowid=21001.
b. Click your DMP model in the Cisco Digital Media Players list.
c. Click Expand All in the versions tree, and then click 5.3.5.
d. Click Download.
3. Install the new DMP firmware, as described in your Cisco DMS upgrade guide at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6681/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Patch to Fix CSCtz28796
The DMM_CSCtz28796.iso utility can help to prevent unexpected DMM server shutdowns on an MCS 7835-H3 appliance whose serial number is earlier than (lower than) xxx947xxx. We describe CSCtz28796 in Cisco Bug Tool at http://tools.cisco.com/squish/c132d.
You can download DMM_CSCtz28796.iso at http://tools.cisco.com/squish/53D5f. Please see its README file at: http://cisco.com/web/software/282100271/56598/DMM_CSCtz28796_Readme.txt.
Note Do not use this patch on any DMM server chassis except MCS 7835-H3 appliances.
New and Changed Features

Cisco Digital Media Players
Cisco DMS 5.3.4 introduces the "ciscocraft.memlimit_action" MIB for your use in system tasks, advanced tasks, and API programming. This new MIB controls how your DMP 4310G responds when playback of a SWF asset depletes all memory.
Although the MIB supports any of the following values, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE 3 ONLY.
0
|
Use the nonconfigurable algorithm from earlier releases, which determined programatically whether to reload or shut down the SWF.
|
1
|
Shut down the SWF.
|
2
|
Reload the SWF.
|
3
|
Restart (reboot) the DMP.

Cisco Show and Share
•MXE 3500 Version 3.3 Support
•Multiple Video Resolution Support
•Mobile Client Application Support
•Pulse Keyword and Speaker Identification
•Quicktime Plugin Download Control
•Acceptable Use Link Customization
•System-Wide Settings Screen Redesign
•New Supported Languages
•WebEx Recording Upload Support
•Recorded Video Transcoding Support
MXE 3500 Version 3.3 Support
Cisco Show and Share now supports the Cisco Media Experience Engine 3500 version 3.3. Cisco MXE 3500 3.3 brings additional capabilities to Cisco Show and Share, such as the Pulse feature set, and support for additional video upload formats, including WebEx .arf files.
Multiple Video Resolution Support
Administrators can configure Cisco Show and Share to trancode uploaded and recorded videos to 360p, 480p, or 720p resolutions.
Viewers can then select a playback quality that fits with their available bandwidth. Viewers on slower connections can select a lower resolution to avoid choppy video playback.
This feature requires that a Cisco MXE 3500 is associated with Cisco Show and Share and that transcoding is enabled. The Cisco MXE must be running version 3.3 software or version 3.2 software with the updated transcoding profiles applied.
Mobile Client Application Support
Cisco Show and Share 5.3 supports access through a mobile application. Administrators can enable or disable mobile application access. Viewers can download the mobile application to a supported iOS device and view, rate, comment, and upload videos to Cisco Show and Share.
Mobile application access requires that a Cisco MXE 3500 running 3.3 software is associated with Cisco Show and Share.
Note The Cisco Show and Share mobile client application is beta and is suitable for early pilots and trials. We do not recommend an enterprise production deployment at this time. The mobile technology space is evolving quickly with new devices and software versions, so the beta application is subject to change.
Pulse Keyword and Speaker Identification
Administrators can enable the Pulse feature set for Cisco Show and Share. The Pulse feature set includes speaker and spoken word identification in videos uploaded or recorded in Cisco Show and Share. When enabled, a new tab, called Pulse, appears on the video playback window.
Viewers can use the Pulse features to search for videos, filter video lists. or navigate to specific speakers or keywords within a video.
The Pulse features require that a Cisco MXE 3500 running version 3.3 software is associated with Cisco Show and Share.
Quicktime Plugin Download Control
Cisco Show and Share uses the Quicktime browser plugin to play live event videos. By default, if the plugin is not present on the client browser, Cisco Show and Share automatically attempts to download it from the Internet. Administrators can now disable the automatic download of the Quicktime plugin.
Acceptable Use Link Customization
Administrators can change the target for the Warranty and End User License Agreement link at the bottom of the Cisco Show and Share page to point to their company acceptable use agreement.
System-Wide Settings Screen Redesign
The System-Wide Settings screen has been redesigned to make it easier to maintain and configure features.
New Supported Languages
You can now display the interface in German, Portuguese-Brazil, and Italian.
Note The Italian language option is provided as a Beta feature. You may experience some inconsistencies in the interface if you choose this language.
WebEx Recording Upload Support
If your system has an integrated Cisco MXE 3500 running version 3.3 software, you can upload WebEx .arf files for transcoding.
Recorded Video Transcoding Support
If your system has an integrated Cisco MXE running version 3.3 software and a valid Pulse license, and your system administrator has enabled the Pulse feature set, videos recorded directly in the Cisco Show and Share are transcoded, which enables the Pulse features and the multiple resolution support for them. The Pulse-enabled transcoding is required for display of recorded Show and Share video on mobile devices.

Installation Notes
•Cisco DMS appliances require a DNS server to work correctly. Enter fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs) and not IP addresses during setup in AAI. Otherwise, Cisco DMS cannot operate as designed and most of its functions will fail.
•Do not append a trailing dot to any FQDN during setup.
•To maintain network security, your DMM appliances and Show and Share appliances use digital certificates to communicate. These certificates use the DNS-resolvable hostname to identify each appliance uniquely. Therefore, you must enter the DNS-resolvable hostname for each appliance during setup when prompted to enter the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) in AAI.
•You must also configure each of your DMS appliances in AAI to point correctly to the DNS server for your network and configure that DNS server to associate the IP addresses that your DMS appliances use with the FQDNs that their digital certificates use.
Upgrade Notes
For instructions on how to upgrade your Cisco Digital Media Suite, see Upgrade Guide for Cisco Digital Media Suite Release 5.3 on Cisco.com.
•When you have a valid SAS contract for an earlier Cisco DMS release, which entitles you to upgrade at no additional cost, use the Product Upgrade Tool at http://cisco.com/upgrade. Enter your SAS contract number and place an order for the upgrade.
•When you do not have a valid SAS contract for an earlier Cisco DMS release, you must order this upgrade. For information about ordering, see the data sheet at: http://cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6682/products_data_sheets_list.html.
•When you upgrade a failover configuration, you must revert the configuration to standalone, upgrade both pairs, and then re-configure failover. See the failover guide on Cisco.com for information about converting your configuration to standalone mode and configuring failover after the upgrade. http://cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/dms/
failover_guide/dmsfailover.html.
•When you use Federation Mode (single sign-on) authentication in Cisco DMS 5.2.3, you must reimport SP metadata into IDP server after you upgrade DMM from 5.2.3 to 5.3. For information about how to export the SP metadata, see the "Configure SSO Services" section of the Authentication and Federated Identity chapter in User Guide for Cisco Digital Media Manager 5.3.x on Cisco.com: http://cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/
dmm/user/guide/admin/auth.html.
Important Notes
This section includes the following topics:
•DMP 4310G Notice Regarding Power over Ethernet (PoE)
•Low Memory Causes DMPs to Restart Automatically
DMP 4310G Notice Regarding Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Starting in 2009, a handful of Cisco StadiumVision customers who participated in a special program to receive DMP 4310G endpoints received pre-release hardware. During this program, we manufactured such units under the Cisco product ID "DMP-4310G-SE-K9." Partway through the limited release, we changed one physical component in the hardware design to improve the Power over Ethernet (PoE) performance of a DMP 4310G.
Is even one of these statements true for you?
•Your DMP 4310G was manufactured in or after September 2010.
•Your DMP 4310G serial number is USI1434xxxx or greater.
•We manufactured your DMP 4310G under the Cisco product ID "DMP-4310G-52-K9."
When even one of these statements is true, your DMP 4310G uses the improved PoE component. Nothing further about this topic applies to you or your DMP.
Otherwise, when even one statement is false, your DMP 4310G uses the original PoE component. We have identified a corner case in which these DMPs might not receive full PoE power.
Suppose that a very long Ethernet cable connects a DMP 4310G to a network switch from the Cisco 3560 Series. And suppose also that the Ethernet cable length is so great that the level of PoE power becomes noticeably diminished after traveling its full distance to the DMP.
In this scenario, your DMP cannot compensate for the degraded power because switches in the Cisco 3560 Series do not permit adjustments to the PoE power output.
We recommend that you do not obtain power for such DMPs from network switches in the Cisco 3560 Series. When you must do so, take care to use the shortest possible Ethernet cord. Alternatively, you might use network switches from the Cisco 3750 Series, which offer configurable PoE power output.
Low Memory Causes DMPs to Restart Automatically
Rather than crashing when they run low on memory, DMPs are designed to restart automatically, which clears their memory and causes downtime of less than 1 minute, as opposed to the lengthy downtime that a hard crash would cause. In the rare cases when DMPs do run out of memory and restart automatically, SWF files are almost always responsible. The known scenarios when this can occur are as follows.
•The file size is greater than 500KB for your SWF file. Larger SWF files do work correctly in most cases, but we recommend as a best practice that you should always strive to use the smallest possible SWF files. Smaller files are far less likely to be burdensome to your DMPs.
•Your SWF file uses bitmapped image files outside itself that have a very large file size, either individually or collectively. Any bitmapped image files that you use in the production of a SWF file should be small files. If a bitmapped file has a large file size, it is important for you to understand that merely reducing the height and width of its placeholder on your canvas in Adobe Flash (or any similar authoring tool that you might use to develop a SWF file) will not reduce the actual file size.
•The web page that you are showing uses too many embedded SWF files.
Additional Recommendations
We recommend that you use the following guidelines when you create SWF files.
•The resolution of the SWF can be up to 1920x1080 when animations that are contained within the SWF are small and are restricted to a 640x480 region.
•Avoid redraw of the whole screen in your Flash animation.
•Multiple movements distributed across a screen will burden a DMP more than movements that are concentrated in one relatively small area.
•The FLV recommended resolution should be 320x240.
Limitations and Restrictions
Review Table 7 before you begin working with Cisco DMS components. These are known limitations that have not been fixed. Read the "Important Notes" section section for additional information.

swf performance in 4305 is slow in DMD playlist
The swf file added as a playlist item in the DMD plays slowly on the 4305. The playback speed is noticeably slower than it was in DMD 5.1.
This issue occurs under the following conditions:
•Swfs in a media playlist
•Deployed on the 4305
Workaround If possible, add the swf item as a media object, and not as an item in the media playlist. With this, the swf file should play at a higher speed. However, you do lose the features of a playlist.
This issue is much more noticeable on swf files with continuous animation. It is advisable to use swf files composed more of static images on the 4305. if possible, try to decrease the amount of animation used in swf files deployed on the 4305.
|

|
After Cisco DMS Content Distribution (DMS-CD) adds or deletes files on an external USB drive that is attached to a DMP, the DMP might mount this drive as Read-Only or might not mount it at all. Content distribution to or from usb_2 sometimes corrupts the file system on drives from certain manufacturers. In our testing, we have seen this on Western Digital Passport drives 0.5 percent of the time and on Maxtor drives 70 percent of the time. We have removed Maxtor from our list of supported manufacturers.
Workaround Disconnect the USB drive from your DMP and reformat the USB drive to use FAT32 as its file system.

OpenAM fails authentication if IdP choose persistent NameID attribute
In federation mode, user logs in to IdP but DMS issues a fatal error ("Although your credentials...") and fails the session.
This occurs when:
•DMS is in identity federation mode.
•IdP is configured to issue persistent NameID attribute
Workaround Do the following:
1. Reconfigure IdP to issue transient NameID attribute.
2. If (1) is not possible, user can enter the same URL in DMS that required authentication; this time s/he is able to access DMS applications.
3. If (2) is not desirable, contact Cisco TAC to fix SP configuration to handle persistent attribute issued by IdP.

4310 Cast incorrectly highlight EPG if sub hour div and stay long on EPG
A DMP 4310G does not always render yellow highlighting correctly in the electronic program guide (EPG) listings for Cisco Cast.
As you navigate through EPG program listings, yellow highlights on screen should always indicate which listing is the current focus of your navigation. However, this highlighting can become offset from your true focus. Before the EPG reaches this state, all of the following must be true simultaneously.
•A DMP 4310G controls the digital sign that shows your EPG.
•Your EPG navigation focus reaches to the outermost edge of your navigable EPG -- whether top, bottom, left, or right.
•You use an arrow button or other control that is not valid for your current focus.
•The reason this control is not valid in this context is that it would move focus beyond the outermost edge.
Workaround To recover from this state, press any valid button. Alternatively, double-press the same arrow button or other control that you previously invoked in error. The yellow highlight is then restored to your true focus.

Running a slide show on 4305 reboots after 6 hours
A slideshow running on the 4305 reboots after 6-8 hours. The issues occur in the following conditions:
•DMP 4305
•Images in slideshow
•Video failover enabled
Workaround The reboot issue can be resolved by disabling the video failover option. This option has also been turned off by default on the DMP. Users can also use an image playlist with a preload time instead of an image slideshow. In typical use cases, video failover should not be required in presentations with image slideshows.

Cisco DMP-4400 will get lockup when playing specific slideshows and the following message will appear after few minutes in the display:
"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
This happens when you have a image slideshow.
Workaround Create a media playlist instead of creating a presentation in DMD.

Show and Share does not delete local media deployed to external server
As noted in the documentation, local copies of media files that are editable by Cisco Show and Share are maintained on the appliance, even if external hosting has been enabled for the file type. These files are needed in case a user wants to go back and edit the media.
Workaround None. These files can only be deleted by TAC. Once deleted, the associated media will not be editable.

SNS: Changes in views and rating take long time to get updated
Change in views and ratings are not reflected on the homepage until the video is played again.
Rate a video and go to the Cisco Show and Share main page. The change in the rating is not reflected on the home page, but sorting the video list by rating or number of views puts the video in the correct order. This can make the video appear to be out of order.
Workaround View the video that had the view or ratings added then the homepage will update with the changes.

For Show and Share Release 5.3 or later integrated with Cisco MXE 3500 Release 3.3.1 or later, Show and Share WebCam recording is not sent to MXE 3500 for transcoding. The WebCam videos are Flash and, thus, cannot be played on mobile devices.
Workaround Enable Pulse on Show and Share administration (Administration -> Manage-> Preferences and Settings) to send WebCam generated videos to the MXE 3500. The analytics data will be generated if the MXE 3500 is licensed for analytics.

Updates and Errata for Printed Documentation
Online-only documents on Cisco.com for Cisco DMS are updated as needed, and we recommend that you check Cisco.com regularly for updates.
This section describes errors and omissions in the printed documentation for Cisco DMS equipment and accessories, which were corrected — or will be corrected — in subsequent printings.
•Getting Started Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players (78-19212-02)
•Remote Control Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players
•Mounting Kit Assembly Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players
•Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media Player (4305G and 4400G)
Getting Started Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players (78-19212-02)
Did your DMP ship with a printed copy of Getting Started Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players (78-19212-02), whose front-cover revision date is November 8, 2010?
If so, your printed copy contains errors about IP address configuration. It states that DMPDM settings on a DMP 4400G can cause your DMP to use a static IP address on a wireless network. However, we removed this option from DMPDM, where DHCP is now the only described address assignment method for wireless client DMPs.
Tip You can still assign a static IP address to a DMP 4400G. Simply do so from your wireless access point.
Remote Control Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players
In some printings, the "Requirements and Limitations" section states incorrectly that "Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP) 4400G devices, and 4305G devices after July 2008, ship with a remote control." The remote control is an optional item that you must purchase separately.
Mounting Kit Assembly Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players
In some printings, Cisco product numbers are wrong for mount kits.
•Any use of "69-1802-01" is incorrect. The correct part number is "DMP-PRCASE-4305-S1."
•Any use of "69-1803-01" is incorrect. The correct part number is "DMP-PRCASE-4400-S1."
Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media Player (4305G and 4400G)
Some printings of these two guides contain identical errors:
•Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media Player 4305G
•Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media Player 4400G
The errors are as follows:
•The Checking the Package Contents topic states incorrectly (CSCta34388) that your product kit includes a battery-powered remote control unit. However, the remote control is an optional item that you must purchase separately.
•The Concepts text on page 3 mentions "protective case" accessories for DMPs, which discourage tampering and prevent theft. The accessory category was renamed after these guides were printed. The category name is now "mount kit."
•Also because the accessory category was renamed, the topic "Learning About the Protective Case for DMPs" became invalidated in multiple ways after these guides were printed:
–The topic heading should say "Learning About the Mounting Kit for DMPs."
–The topic text mischaracterizes the title for mount kit assembly documentation. The correct title is Mounting Kit Assembly Guide for Cisco Digital Media Players.
•Any use of "69-1802-01" is incorrect. The correct part number is "DMP-PRCASE-4305-S1."
•Any use of "69-1803-01" is incorrect. The correct part number is "DMP-PRCASE-4400-S1."
