I am having problems with the mediamaster in Cisco PCA (version 8.5(1)). When I go into greetings and select a greeting, I see the mediamaster box. When I try to select Options->Playback & Recording, nothing happens. I am running the latest Java version 7 update 21. When I downgrade my Java to version 6, I am able to get the box that is supposed to appear when selecting Options->Playback and Recording. But with Java version 6 I have problems opening a file and saving it as my recordings whereas Java 7 doesn't give me that problem. Anyone else have these problems? I just want to make sure I'm not missing something simple before I open a ticket.
Thanks!

I can replicate the problem. I'm using IE8 32-bit and Java 7 update 25, but I've had the same issue with several recent versions of Java 7.
If you open the Java console and press the "Playback & Recording" button, you can see the Exception that's happening behind the scenes. I imagine the workaround would be fore Cisco to update the applet for Java 7, which would require a server patch of course...
Java console output:

Just an FYI - I have the same problem with IE 9 and Firefox 23

Has anyone been able to solve this issue? We are running into the same problem and it seems downgrading Java is not a viable option because it causes other issues. Does this require a Unity upgrade?

Not I. And hypocritically, Cisco has blamed Java for the persistence of web attacks using outdated JRE6 (
I'm thinking to uninstall Java from workstations and have a dedicated VM for Unity recording, running in a very firewalled environment. Unity recording is in fact the only reason that I have Java installed on them in the first place.
