Sorry, by video I meant the eLearning. I am using iOS9 and have updated the files. The eLearning plays via google as my host, but not via Sharepoint as my host only on the iPad. I was able to have the eLearning play through IE browser using a desktop.
Hi Linda! If you are unable to replicate the issue outside of Sharepoint, have you reached out to your Sharepoint administrators to try to understand the issue that may be happening? I'm not a Sharepoint user myself, so hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in as well with their experience.
Make sure all of the files are checked in. If not, it can cause viewing problems. You can perform bulk checkins from > Site Settings > Site Content and Structure
You may run into problems if your files have no titles. Bulk title editing can be done creating a custom view.
Is the set up within an iFrame? Our team is investigating an issue currently with how that displays (or doesn't) on an iPad using iOS9 and viewing the HTML5 output. You may want to look at using the workaround detailed here.
Thanks for the update Linda - I'm not incredibly familiar with SharePoint and how content is displayed, but hopefully you're SharePoint Admin can figure out if there is something specific and if that iFrame content helps too!
Please feel free to keep us posted as there are lots of folks in the community who mention using SharePoint and may benefit from your update and solution here.
Why do you have to change the files to.aspx rather than leave them as .html? I am currently using SharePoint and all of my files still use .html. I have not experienced any issues doing it this way. Am I missing something?
Hi Clint, you bring up a great point. The .html to .aspx conversion only matters if your IT department has disallowed .html from launching from the SharePoint instance. It is a security setting at the admin level as far as I understand it.
You saved my life! SharePoint 2013 manages html files in a distinct way for security reasons but they are more permisible with flash files, while this has not any sense you found a great solution

Neither SharePoint 2013 or 2016 support the html files. The simple fix is to change the file extension from .html to .aspx.
Another tip with SharePoint is to be sure your directory is not nested too far down within subdirectories. SL uses very long file names, which are included in URL for each.
Therefore, several subdirectories (.../directory/directory/directory/directory/directory/etc.), coupled with very long SL-created filenames cans cause your SharePoint system to error out when uploading files due to character limits.
We've attempted to upload the published files as outlined by Cody Salinas (Thanks!). Unfortunately, we can't drag in any SL files (the story.htm./aspx, xml and swf). We can drag other types of files, just not the ones we need.
Does anyone know what Sharepoint permissions would prevent specific file types from being added?
Hi Steve! Not sure if Monica is still subscribed here as her response is a bit dated, but typically this is a simple manual change similar to re-naming a file.

Thanks for chiming in Scott :)
Thanks! It appears everything is checked in. I can see it on a desktop/laptop browser but not a mobile browser. The image looks like this:

Since it's through SharePoint Online it's using a webpart. I have talked to our SharePoint Admin too and he's looking into it.
I have it set so it's launching in the browser not through the Articulate App since we want to keep the course in a password protected location.

I was able to get Storyline files to play by using the "convert the story.html file to story.aspx." Works like a charm and I hate that it was so easy.

Thanks for popping in to share Mica :) I know we have many utilizing Sharepoint and the tips/tricks are helpful.
Hi All,
We've attempted to upload the published files as outlined by Cody Salinas (Thanks!). Unfortunately, we can't drag in any SL files (the story.htm./aspx, xml and swf). We can drag other types of files, just not the ones we need.
Does anyone know what Sharepoint permissions would prevent specific file types from being added?
Thanks!
How did you convert the story.html file back to story.aspx? Are there instructions I can follow?

thank you. so as a novice bear with me...
I'm looking at the files in the Storyline Output folder. Do I change the "story_html5" file name to "story.aspx"?
Hmm, well I'm not so savvy with Sharepoint, but looks like they were referring to the story.html and not the story_html5.html, correct?
Just the story.html file.
I have three "story" files; story, story_html5, story_unsupported.
Which one do I change to story.aspx?
Just story.
Thanks for popping in to assist Monica - and for confirming :)
Right-click on the file and rename it as story.aspx.
