Publishing takes forever
Hi,
lately, when I publish a storyline 360 project as video, it takes forever (well, I timed it takes over 30 min for a video of 2-3 min).
Did anything change? I'm working with Storyline for years and never had to wait so long. this has happened in several projects.
Thanks,
Michelle
Hello Helen and Carolyn,
I was able to take a look at the case Beth worked on with our team and it was specific to her working environment with the settings and space on her virtual machine. So, there is not an overall solution to share here.
With your permission, I'd like you to share your .story project file with our support engineers to investigate what's happening. You can share it privately by uploading it here. It will be deleted when troubleshooting is complete.

Same with me. It is taking lots of time when i publish to video. However, fine when i publish via review 360 or lms. Why with video?

Are the optimal settings for Virtual Machines and Storyline available somewhere. This has been an ongoing issue for me as well using Parallels on a Mac, and the latest updated Storyline. Often the files can take over an hour to publish and I would say 80% of the time they just crash at the end. Oddly though I can push out the same file at times in less than a minute so its not an issue with my files. I have explored the internet speed issue, updated my router and have extremely fast internet speed reports and am still struggling to upload to 360 Review.
Hello Michele!
I'm happy to help! We don't have separate settings when publishing a Storyline course while using a virtual machine. I'm currently running Parallels as well, and I haven't run into any publishing issues. I've attached a project that I just published to Review 360. It took 15 seconds to publish. Do you mind publishing it on your end and letting me know how long it took to publish to Review 360?

Hi Lauren,
Your file did upload for me, and it took 5 minutes and 36 seconds to publish. I am currently at 195mbps upload speed (274 mbps downlod). So I don't feel its a connection issue. For more complex modules they are taking up to an hour to upload. Any ideas?

I have the same issue. I also have Parallels, please help!

Hello, I was wondering if this issue of super slow publishing times has a solution. It seems to have no rhyme or reason when it starts doing it, or to what files. I was publishing these same storyline files in a couple minutes before, now they take several hours to publish - if at all. The screen shot attached is after about an hour, whereas this same file used to publish quickly in a couple minutes. Even short ones with no videos or pictures are taking forever, including one that is just 10 multiple choice questions. I've uninstalled and reinstalled articulate and reset my internet multiple times. Nothing else is having issues. I am using Parallels on a Mac. Storyline v3.68.28887.0. Thank you.

I am also experiencing the same issue. This comes and goes randomly and can't seem to pinpoint what causes it.
- SL version: December 13, 2022 3.71.29339.0
- Internet speed is fine: 30Mbps / 3.5Mbps
- I can upload an offline package in 1 min
- but publishing directly from storyline to review takes over 1 hour.
- When this happens, it happens with any file.
In the past it fixed itself, but keeps coming back from time to time.
