Followed the directions for inserting a Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/embed/MvenWiQxJPQ?autoplay=1&rel=0 which play independently and in the insert window test link. Once Published it doesn't play when I select View Presentation nor when I zip and upload to LMS or Scorm Cloud. All I get when launching course is the Player template with navigation and title and blank screen. Any ideas. Popup blocker is off and the link is good as it plays in the test link.
Yes, in fact it will only run automatically in any environment if it is built to do so.
There are a handful of interactions built in to your module that must be completed before the next button becomes active, is there a particular reason why you want it to run automatically from start to finish?
No, no reason. I just thought that the course would only be glitch-free if scorm cloud would run it automatically. But now I understand that it's not the case if I have interactions, which is what I want for my course.
So if I launch all my modules on scorm cloud and I am able to run though manually, that means there is nothing incorrect in the course or is there are things in the coding that I should also be looking at(e.g: red lines)?
One more question, our LMS expert says that if I export as scorm 1.2, I need to be aware that the suspend_data field, is limited to 4Kbytes, versus the 64Kbytes allowed by the SCORM 2004 standard; and that if users navigate and interact a lot, the suspend_data can grow up and exceed the limit, causing loss of information. Therefore it sounds more safe to use SCORM 2004 but there he says that our platform is only compatible with SCORM 2004 3rd edition and not with the 4th edition. The scorm 2004 in which Storyline exports, is it 3rd or 4th edition?
I am having an issue similar to what I have seen here. I'm using Articulate Presenter.
I am using a web object to launch a YouTube video. (I added "?&rel=0" to end of the URL to block the related videos at the end.)
I uploaded the SCORM to Articulate Tempshare and everything worked great. But, the video would not launch in my LMS.
I saw the issue David mentioned to change the web object to use https instead of http. That worked for me. I uploaded my file to SCORM cloud and it is working there (before changing from http to https an empty screen appeared when launched in SCORM cloud.)
So now it works in SCORM cloud, but it still won't work when I upload to my LMS.
Thanks for the details of all of your testing Diane.
You mention that it's working in Tempshare and SCORM Cloud, so it sounds like there is something going on within your LMS. Have you been able to reach out to them directly?

Thanks! Good to hear. So only if it's designed with "move automatically to next slide" would it run by itself on scorm cloud?
Yes, in fact it will only run automatically in any environment if it is built to do so.

Thanks again!
If your course works in SCORM Cloud it is a good indication that it 'should' work in many other SCORM-compliant LMS'.
You are also looking for the completion status to be reported to the LMS, i.e., Complete/Incomplete or Pass/Fail etc depending on your publish settings. See here for some useful info (see step 5): https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/publishing-a-course-for-lms
Thanks, that was very helpful.

Ok sorry never mind, I see I can choose the edition myself :)
Thanks!
Glad you were able to find what you needed Amaia and the community was able to jump in and help you out :) I appreciate you keeping us updated.
Hi Folks,
I am having an issue similar to what I have seen here. I'm using Articulate Presenter.
I am using a web object to launch a YouTube video. (I added "?&rel=0" to end of the URL to block the related videos at the end.)
I uploaded the SCORM to Articulate Tempshare and everything worked great. But, the video would not launch in my LMS.

So now it works in SCORM cloud, but it still won't work when I upload to my LMS.
Any ideas on what to check?
Thanks for the details of all of your testing Diane.

Are you getting an error or just a blank screen?
Thanks Leslie,
It's a blank screen where the web object should be.
I'll attach a couple screenshots.
Leslie,
Wanted to get back to you and close this out.
I found a couple settings in the LMS that I needed to change. Once those were changed, it now plays properly.
(Never had to edit those setting before, and I've published 100 s of courses into the same LMS...)
Thanks for your input.
Thanks Diane for that update and I'm glad to hear you were able to figure it out!
