Finding an embedded URL in the SCORM output files

Hi everybody,

Situation: We embed our videos into Rise lessons using iframe. Videos are hosted on a 3rd party platform.

Problem: We would like to change the embedded URLs without having to edit the Rise projects and re-export them.

Question: Are the URLs referenced in any of the SCORM output files? In this way, we could change the URLs directly from the existing output files.

Thank you.

  • Hello there! I understand you wanted to edit the embedded URLs of your video using the Scorm output file.

    Articulate software and its published output are supported as they are. We don't recommend or offer advice on customizing or modifying the published output. If you wish to make changes to your course, you may do so in Rise.

    Is there any reason why you want to make the changes from the output file instead of the course itself in Rise?

  • Hi Angelo. Thank you for the reply.
    Yes, we have hundreds of Rise projects where we would need to update video URLs and we want to avoid editing the projects and re-exporting them.
    It would be much easier to change the URL from the output files, if these are referenced in any of the files.
    So, can you let me know if an embedded URL is referenced in any of the output files?

    I'm having a similar issue with Articulate Storyline scorm packages (hundreds of them) where we are changing the host string to SharePoint resources.  I'm seeing that you do not recommend doing any script update in the output files. Is that accurate? The only way to fix our issue is to go into each of the source files and update there? Please confirm.

  • @LU and @ Lynne Puhr, We also have to update video links in Rise. In fact, I'd like a way to find which Rise courses have embedded video links. - Can you tell me the approach you used to update your courses / links?

    We have a similar issue. We paid a contractor to create some courses for us many years ago and they did not provide the working files for Storyline. Now we have found a URL that takes some users to a malware site. We are looking for a method that will allow us to hide/remove/correct this URL. 

    So in an ideal world @Angelo's response would be sufficient, but based on these other questions and this question, we are either able not to do that or they choose not to do it. Please provide an alternative solution. Thank you.
