Hi, I'm trying to create a course where we track the amount of time the video embedded into the Storyline can be tracked via Tin Can API. It seems that the Tin Can option in Storyline tracks the slide in/out interactions but doesn't track at the object level (tracking the pausing and playing to get actual time the user has the video viewed).
Is this doable on Storyline? Has anyone attempted something like this on it before? So far it looks like Brightcove (online video solution) enables this (http://tincanapi.com/lifeway-brightcove-tech-overview/) but it would be awesome if Storyline did so as well.
I don't think you'll be able to accomplish this - tracking the time of an object. However, you could use variables and report that variable to the server/LMS.
For example, you could create a True/False variable that adjusts when the media completes. You could report that variable to the server and see whether or not the media was completed by the learner.

Hi John,

Here's some information that may help:

Thanks Christine, it looks like we might have to go with a standalone Javascript video player for this project but appreciate the quick answer!
You're very welcome, John!
Have a great weekend and best of luck on the project :)
