RE: Presentation API

2012-07-31T20:33:49Z

I don't see anything in the API that let's you do that. If you get the DMD it's all Flash components dragged out to a stage - kind of hard to do via the API. So I would say you can't Marc Alumbaugh DynaPlayer.com

Setting DMP Remote Button to open CAST

2012-07-31T18:42:33Z

I am trying to program the DMP Remote control button to open Cast up using one of the Color Buttons. I've found several posts on doing this on a 4400 but that does not seem to work for me on the 4310. Here's what I've tried - any help would be great. Try to Set the Blue Button https://192.168.119.154:7777/set_param?irasrv.key_BLUE=ira%20add%201%20sh%201%20BLUE%20bg%20wget%20-q%20%22localhost%3A7777%2Fset_param%3Fciscocraft.fl_url%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2F192.168.119.221%3A8080%2Fetv-flash-webapp%2FETV.swf&ciscocraft.fl_submit%3D1%22 Normalized ira add 1 sh 1 BLUE bg wget -q "localhost:7777/set_param?ciscocraft.fl_url=https://192.168.119.221:8080/etv-flash-webapp/ETV.swf&ciscocraft.fl_submit=1" I can do this via the following MIB URL but I really would like it on the remote This worked https://192.168.119.154:7777/set_param?ciscocraft.fl_url=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.119.221%3A8080%2Fetv-flash-webapp%2FETV.swf&ciscocraft.fl_submit=1 Or do you know what the CUSTOM command would be in the DMPDM on the 4310 to do the above?

Hi William We have a series of Flash Widgets that we've written and sell that we use in a playlist in the DMD without any issues. Text Rotator Image Rotator Weather Widget I'm not seeing this issue of either a 4400 or 4310 DMP (5.2.2, 5.2.3 and 5.3.5 firmwares) Can you share some more specific details of what you are seeing or what is happening. Also what version of firmware are you running? Marc Alumbaugh http://DynaPlayer.com

RE: How determine DMP and APP ID non-programatically!

Hi - This is probably the easiest way to get this information - use your browser and see below To get a list of the Applications and their AppID https://DMM-FQDN:8443/xTAS-core/services/app/apps Look in the tag To Get a list of the DMPs is a two step process - First get the list of Groups (Look for All DMPs) https://DMM-FQDN:8443/xTAS-core/services/dmpgroup/hierarchy/all/ Now use the All DMPs Group and get a list of the DMP IDs https://DMM-FQDN:8443/xTAS-core/services/dmpgroup/dmps/dmpgroup/{groupID} In my case it was 3 https://dmm1.rockingchairsoftware.local:8443/xTAS-core/services/dmpgroup/dmps/dmpgroup/3 Hope that helps If this answers your question - can you mark the question answered Marc Alumbaugh RockingChairSoftware.com DynaPlayer-Flash Components

RE: Unable to verify the identity of DMP4400 as trusted site?

2012-05-04T01:34:56Z

Open the URL that the DMP is trying to open on a computer. View the source of that URL and then search through the HTML code and I'll bet you will find the HTML referencing an HTTPS object or component somewhere inside of the HTML. It's not just the main URL but anything that the page references code cause this issue.

RE: Control Volume and Channel

2012-04-24T00:05:26Z

Try this https://ip_of_dmp:7777/set_param?sigma.rvol=50 https://ip_of_dmp:7777/set_param?sigma.lvol=50 You should probably save the settings too so add mib.save=1 to the end of it. All together something like https://ip_of_dmp:7777/set_param?sigma.rvol=50&sigma.lvol=50&mib.save=1 You can get a list of the MIBs to set here https://ip_of_dmp:7777/get_param?p=*.* Not sure what you mean about Channel? Are you talking about cast?

RE: Any option to change the text in the Presnetation using API

2012-04-23T23:31:31Z

I couldn't find anyway to do it. Instead I created a Flash Object that has the text to play in a separate file. Then if someone wants to update the text they just edit the external text file. This works on both the 4400 and 4310 DMPs.

RE: Adding a Flash SWF to a Presentation in DMD to play pictures

2012-03-27T14:18:34Z

Found at least a work around. DO NOT use the Media icon or if you are getting weird results try instead to use the Playlist All Media Types. Also found another weird thing if you add a SWF file via the Media icon the type of SWF I was adding was an Image rotator. And once I did this the DMD screen immediately zoomed in or magnified see screenshot [img]http://rockingchairsoftware.com/DMDCapture.jpg[/img] Cheers

Adding a Flash SWF to a Presentation in DMD to play pictures

2012-03-22T05:29:16Z

Any ideas on why I can't add a Flash/SWF file that plays pictures to a DMD presentation? So you can get the 4310_Slideshow_Playlist from the ciscoet.com website. I take that and play it directly on the 4310 and it works great. FYI: I opened mine in Flash and forced it to create the SWF as Flash Lite 3.1 /AS2 So I modified the code in this Flash object down around line 32 var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); //(1) lv.load("http://www.xyz.com/flash/4310_Slideshow_Playlist/data.txt"); Again this Flash Lite 3.1 SWF plays fine if it is played directly on the DMP via DMPDM. Now add the URL to the Media Asset library and point to the http://www.xyz.com/flash/4310_Slideshow_Playlist/slideshow_playlist.swf NOw add that to a Presentation in the DMD as a Media Asset NOw play the presentation on the DMP You see the background color and swf object appear but none of the pictures are playing? Any ideas Actionscript code list below for reference Thanks ====================================================== import com.cisco.dms.MediaPlayer; //(1) var image_index:Number = 1; var mIndex:Number; var playlistMaxIndex = 1; var prefix = ""; var mp:MediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mp.stopVideo(); var playlistIndex:Number = 2; var videoStarted:Boolean = false; mp.setColorKey(0x01, 0x00, 0x01, 0); myBox.backgroundColor = 0x010001; var listener:Object = new Object(); //(6) listener.videoStatus = function(msg:String) { if(msg == "START") { videoStarted = true; } else if (msg == "STOP") { if(videoStarted) playNext(); videoStarted = false; } else mp.logInfo("Failure..."); }; mp.addListener(listener); var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); //(1) lv.load("http://www.rockingchairsoftware.com/flash/4310_Slideshow_Playlist/data.txt"); lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void{ //(2) if(success == true){ mIndex =parseInt(this.maxImagesIndex); playlistMaxIndex = parseInt(this.maxPlaylistIndex); prefix = this.demoUrl; initPlaylist(); initImage(); } }; function initPlaylist(){ mp.playVideoToObject(prefix + lv["audio1"], false, myBox); mp.subscribe(); } function playNext():Void { //(5) if ( playlistIndex > playlistMaxIndex) { playlistIndex = 1; } mp.playVideoToObject(prefix + lv["audio" + playlistIndex++], false, myBox); }; function initImage(){ //(3) _root.imageHolder._xscale = 100; _root.imageHolder._yscale = 100; _root.imageHolder._alpha = 100; _root.imageHolder._x = _root.mask_mc._x; _root.imageHolder._y = _root.mask_mc._y; _root.imageHolder.loadMovie(lv["image1"]); //(4) setTimeout(decreaseAlpha, 1500); //(5) } function loadImage():Void{ if(_root.imageHolder._alpha <= 0){ image_index++; if(image_index > mIndex){ image_index = 1;} _root.imageHolder.loadMovie(lv["image" + image_index]); //(6) _root.imageHolder._alpha = 100; setTimeout(decreaseAlpha, 1500); //(7) } else { decreaseAlpha(); } } function decreaseAlpha( ):Void{ _root.imageHolder._alpha -= 1; //(8) setTimeout(loadImage, 10); //(9) }

RE: SWF on 4310 that references an external asset/dependency

2012-03-22T05:13:59Z

Hi Richard I did figure this out and it's a bug and Cisco knows it. Please check defect # CSCtl18102 You can add a media asset that reference the escape swf file as long as the URL length does not exceed 113 characters. 114 you get the error. You can work around it using the Playlist all media types and add the URL there. What are you developing?

RE: Example Video stream with dmp

2012-03-06T16:30:49Z

You can try this for RTSP streaming from VLC. The stuff I listed above is a simple UDP/Multicast. http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Command_Line_Examples Haven't played yet with SDP and RTSP. Please let us know if you tried it and the results.

RE: Example Video stream with dmp

2012-02-28T21:17:54Z

Use some transcoding software and get your video file into MPEG TS format and saved to a file. Then you can use this to stream it using VLC c:\multicast\A1-v2.mpg if the path-filename of the video already transcoded and saved as MPEG TS. Rest of the item should be easy to figure out. "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc" -vvv c:\multicast\A1-v2.mpg --sout udp:239.192.100.100:1234 --ttl 3 --loop Hope that helps

SWF on 4310 that references an external asset/dependency

2011-11-18T01:05:20Z

I am developing a Flash object that I want to include with other assets in the DMD. My flash object references an external file that it reads and then creates a datagrid. In the DMD 5.2X user guide Page 5-3 through 5-4 it explains that you need to identify both the SWF and XML file. Basically pass a MIB variable called "Data_Url" and if it's a Third Party (that I'm assuming would be me) it should be my own variable. My quesiton is - Can I embed my own SWF file into the DMD? (I'm think I should be able to) If so do I add it to the Media Assets library? (I'm think I should be able to) If I try add it to the Media Asset library and encode the parameters in the URL as per page 5-4 I get this error [b] (HTML Wrapped): there was an exception in adding asset[/b] [b]Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?[/b] I've included below an example of my URL below if you are thinking I'm doing that wrong http://www.xyz.com/rcsgrid/DataGrid_FL_3_1.swf?fl_flashvars=RCS_Url%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Frockingchairsoftware.com%2Frcsgrid%2FinitialLoad.xml I've tried select Media Type = Shockwave and HTML - both error out TIA Marc [u] [/u]

RE: Reading query string values in .swf for a DMP 4400

2011-11-17T17:53:13Z

I am also interested in this too. I am developing a dynamic datagrid in Flash and once I embed the SWF file into the Digital Media Designer I am no longer able to read my external XML file that contains my configuration information and data elements.
