I'm hosting some Storyline content on our companies LMS which needs to be accessed by iPad users. We can use the iPad player so are looking at just going with the 'Include HTML5 output option'.
When we use this option, users are presented with a 'splash' screen consisting of a thumbnail and a play button.
My question is, is there any way to avoid having this splash screen, so the content just opens immediately?
Thanks for the speedy response Peter. Can I just double check something with you. If I were able to use the built in iPad player, would the content still track on an LMS?
Hi Peter. We will be supporting it in the future but not yet I'm afraid.
I've managed to bypass the screen using some code from the forum link you posted - not ideal as it means pasting over a .js file every time we publish but it does seem to work.
The other issue I have - with or without the splash screen present - is that the window doesn't size properly. I've set it to scale to the browser size but it won't do it on an iPad - it's fine on a Nexus 7.

Sorry, that was meant to be "We can't use the iPad player so are looking at just going with the 'Include HTML5 output option'."
Hey Steven!
Not by default. We use it because HTML5 requires user interaction to play media, so that's kind of a sneaky way of kicking off the course.
Some other members have discussed ways to get around it over here, though, if you're interested. Just keep in mind it's not supported.
Good luck, Steven, and have a great weekend!

Hi Steven,
To track content using the Mobile Player app, your LMS will need to support the Tin Can API.
Do you know if your LMS has implemented Tin Can?

See attached screenshot - for sizing issue.
Hmm, is that happening outside of your LMS also? For example, if you upload and view the course through Tempshare are you losing real estate?
Hi Peter. It was a problem with a 3rd party SCORM player out LMS uses. I published as AICC and it works perfectly.
Thanks again for your help.
Cool, glad you got the issue targeted.
Have a great weekend
