New and Changed Features
Web Interface
•Administrators can enable the forced login feature for the Cisco Show and Share portal so that anonymous visitors are redirected automatically to the login screen. The forced login feature is only for the portal—not the embedded player, mobile device access, or APIs.
•Administrators can customize footer and copyright information for their organizations.
•Multiple Live Event users can start and administer, or moderate, a Live Event. Live Event draft preview is not supported when multiple Live Event users log in.
•Improved user interface for the Italian language option.
Pulse Keyword and Speaker Identification
Activation This feature requires Cisco MXE 3500 Release 3.3 software with a valid Pulse license, and you must enable the Pulse feature set on the Show and Share appliance.
•Video Authors can label guest speakers on a video-by-video basis. Doing so does not add the guest speaker's name to the list of users that are already present within Cisco Show and Share.
•Video Authors can now remove incorrect Pulse keywords completely on a video-by-video basis. This action cannot be undone, and doing so does not remove the keywords from the Pulse vocabulary list.
•Video Authors can disable Pulse Speakers and Keywords on a video-by-video basis.
•Improved color match of speakers with heatmap segments.

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.
