RE: DMS add Asset from URL ... invalid file type

2012-07-21T02:30:01Z

Wally, A few questions to get some context. Can you give more details about the text that you have pasted? Is this the HTML that you used to upload your asset? Have you been able to upload an asset using the HTML form in the document titled "Digital Signs API Programmer Guide v5.2.2, 5.2.3, 5.3.pdf"? -Hashir

RE: Digital Media Suite 5.3 benefits for DMP 4400?

2012-01-31T22:59:04Z

Is the NTP server reachable during the DMP boot up (i.e. can you ping it from the DMP network)? There is a known issue where if this is not the case, then the NTP service will never start. This is scheduled to be fixed in the 5.4 release. Other than that, just make sure you don't have ICMP traffic blocked.

RE: NTP not working on DMP 4400 v5.2.2

Michael, I just tried this on a DMP 4400 running 5.2.2 and I am having no problems. You should see some text at the top left of your browser. It isn't particularly apparent (although it isn't hidden by any means either), perhaps you are just missing it? Could you paste a screenshot by any chance?

RE: NTP not working on DMP 4400 v5.2.2

While this isn¿t a fix, to confirm that the system time is in fact incorrect you can enter the following link in a browser: https://:7777/get_param?p=sinfo.time If this time is correct, then there is an error in their application somewhere. Otherwise it is probably DMP related. -Hashir

RE: Can I pass extra information to DMM when displaying a playlist.

2011-08-22T23:51:07Z

You can go into the DMM and upload an HTML asset. From there you can display this html asset on any number of playlists or presentations and deploy to your DMPs. Once you have done this, you can edit the text on your web page as needed, and the changes should be reflected in all of your playlists and presentations. One point to note is that this will not work with the 4310 (which has no browser). -Hashir

RE: DMP Group "ALL DMPs" ID

2011-08-22T21:38:32Z

There is no promise that it will always be 4, and it is not configurable. Is there a reason that you can't check using an API call? -Hashir

Can you be more clear in what you are asking?

RE: Add Optional Files

2011-08-22T20:16:34Z

As of Show and Share 5.2.3, we have added this functionality. You can upload optional files using the Single-Step Upload API call as described in the API documentation. -Hashir

Ming, We currently do not have an API call that supports this behavior. I will put in a request to get this into a future release. -Hashir

RE: Change a part of the presentation

2011-04-14T19:46:50Z

Jonathan, You should be able to achieve this using the API. You will need know what assets are in the original playlist, and then you can modify them as you please and create a new playlist that contains your changes. -Hashir

RE: Starting an emergency for multiple DMP groups

The query above will deploy the emergency application to both groups, regardless of their relationship. Are you trying to achieve something other than this result?

RE: Scheduling tasks through the API

2011-04-04T20:11:47Z

Matt, While I don't have a concrete date on hand, we are planning to add this functionality in the future. As for the API tester, in the most current version the template you are referring to should be removed; that API template did not perform the intended behavior. For future reference, whenever in doubt, refer to the API Documentation over other sources. The API Tester is a great tool, but it is not officially supported by Cisco or DMS. -Hashir

Sample Show and Share API call using Java and HttpClient 3.0

2011-01-25T20:17:57Z

Attached you will find a set of classes that demonstrate the usage of our API in Java (with the help of HttpClient 3.0). To use these, place all classes into a single package, obtain the necessary .jar files to resolve build issues, and rename variables to fit your environment (ie: you will need to enter your Show and Share host name, username, password, etc). The PostMain.java class demonstrates the usage of the POST method with Show and Share 5.2 API. The other two classes are support classes that do not directly make any DMS API calls. [b]DISCLAIMER:[/b] This code has been made available for demonstration purposes ONLY. Please note that no part of this code is officially supported by Cisco or any of its developers. There is no promise that this code will work appropriately in any given environment. It is strongly discouraged to use this code in a production environment.

RE: Starting or Stoping a DMP via API

2011-01-19T22:04:41Z

You do not need to manually switch from video to browser when using the DMP. If you create a playlist that has an asset that points to an HTML page, and then to a video, both will be able to play without any manual configuration change. Does this answer your question, or were you trying to achieve something else?
