Nov 26, 2019

Hi everyone, 

I noticed the my videos are not playing when previewing my timeline.  This happens from the latest SL360 update.  Thoughts?

Hi Debbie!

Sorry to hear you are also experiencing issues with getting videos to play while previewing/publishing a course! I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot!

This type of snag is usually specific to the file itself and tricky to replicate on our end. Would you mind sharing the affected file here in the discussion or privately through a support case? I’ll test the video and then share my results!

Hello Debbie, 

Sorry to hear that you ran into a similar issue. Users who encounter video related issues are usually experiencing something that is file specific. To troubleshoot, we'll need to take a look at your project file. 

Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can check what's happening? We'll delete it when we're done testing!

very interesting bug

  • set position to 35 sek (before the video) and press play -> video don't play
  • set position to 38 sek (within the video) und press play -> video is playing correct

Hi Debbie,

Great question! I understand that your video isn't playing properly when previewing in the timeline. I’m happy to work with you to figure out why this is happening!  I have a few follow-up questions regarding the situation so I can understand what you are experiencing a little better.

  • Which version of Storyline are you using? I am using Storyline version 3.75.30269.0.
  • Is this happening with more than one file or is this the only one?
  • Have you tried importing your project into a new file? Sometimes that can solve some glitches within a file.

I’ve attached a Story file that I created in Storyline 360. The video is previewing in the timeline properly. Do you mind opening it into Storyline 360 on your end to see if you notice the same behavior?

Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to your response!
