I'm working on a one month trial of Storyline 2 trying to put together an example incorporating embedded video content. When I publish locally and view it via the HTML5 button, everything works fine. When I set it up to host on Google Drive (https://googledrive.com/host/0Bza2Bit0NCNDeXJ1S3lQUzBpZWc) the videos don't appear. I don't have that much time left to figure this out and the guidance I'm finding does not seem to be current. Any recent examples?
The link you shared gave me a 404 error - are you able to share a current link? Also what browser are you using to view the content? You'll see that we support the following browsers, and if you're viewing it within HTML5 only, there are some limitations to the browsers based on how they handle HTML5 content.
Also, we've tended to stop recommending Google Drive, as come August 2016 they're going to discontinue the ability to host .html files as such. You may want to review some of the other ideas here for hosting and sharing your content.
Thanks for the link. I saw the same as you in that I wasn't able to play the videos, but I took a look at your initial file and republished it to place on Tempshare which is a testing platform for web content. That one worked as expected and you can view the output here.
Thank you. That's great. I didn't know about Tempshare. This is exactly what I need for testing. Since Google Drive isn't working and will be out of the picture soon anyway, I'm still in need of hosting that I can use for my portfolio and other projects - where it's easy to upload content, host it, get a link I can share, make changes, etc... Any suggestions?
Glad that worked for you - and as far as another site, there are a ton of options! One we recommend as it's easy to use and allows for really generous hosting amounts for free, and anything over that at a low cost is Amazon S3. I'm sure there are a ton more that the community would recommend so I'll defer to them to weigh in.
