Here’s how Storyline determines which version of your content to display when users view it. You are correct that almost all LMSes look for the index_lms.html file and Storyline takes it from there.
Please let us know if you need anything else. Thanks!
I read the post Justin referenced. Further, another support page lists: "Mac: Safari 7 and later, Google Chrome (latest version)" under Content Format > Flash. I thought Mac doesn't support Flash. Can you clarify? If I unselect the HTML 5 publishing option, and learner is accessing our LMS from Chrome or Firefox on a Mac, will they have trouble viewing the course (since Mac doesn't support flash)?
I have downloaded update 6. Do I need to republish our existing courses so that if learner opens our LMS on Chrome v44, they won't have problems viewing it?
Macintosh will run Flash if the user has Flash player installed. The Macintosh does not come preloaded with Flash player. The user must go to adobe's web site to get the Flash Player installer. There is not a way to install Flash on an iOS device.
You can see the viewing requirements and options here, and although Mac's don't have the Flash player installed on the system by default, you should be able to use it within the browsers.
I'm having a real problem with the functionality of my courses, because my LMS requires IE browser for optimal use of my HTML5 content.
When assigning e-learning, I send an email with a url link to our LMS. Is there any way that this link could also include coding that ensures the url is opened in IE?
To force a hyperlink to open in a specific browser, you could create a desktop shortcut (here, here, or here), or you could use a browser add-in (here, here, or here), but you won't be able to force this from a URL in an email message.

Hey, Jo.
To force a hyperlink to open in a specific browser, you could create a desktop shortcut (here, here, or here), or you could use a browser add-in (here, here, or here), but you won't be able to force this from a URL in an email message.
As a side note, not only is IE an unsupported browser for viewing Storyline HTML5 content, but according to HTML5test.com, it's the worst modern browser for HTML5 support, so we wouldn't recommend viewing HTML5 content in IE at this point.
Good luck with your project!
