Rise 360 - Media Could Not Be Loadedeither because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported

Every time that I place a video in a block on Rise 360, after exporting the content, I get a message upon viewing in my LMS that "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." I'm loading standard mp4 files, under 200 MB (when the stated limit is 5 GB). 

I've tried multiple browsers - my default Chrome, IE 11, Edge, and Safari and all are experiencing the same issue. I can see the video when I preview my Rise course or share it from the Articulate site, but not once I've exported the course and uploaded it to my LMS. 

Can anyone help me? Thank you.

  • I have just started having this issue today after all videos previously working as required. I retitled my files, reimported and re uploaded to my LMS (Learndash). This issue seemed to rectified itself. I will continue to monitor over the coming days to see if it occurs again.

    Update: To solve the issue, I converted my video into a WMV file and then uploaded it to Rise. That worked, and now the issue is resolved. Perhaps my original video was not coded correctly (even though it was saying in the properties that it was an Mp4 file format.

    Hi, I'm having the reverse issue - we're getting this error message when playing the video in Preview. It's not consistent across users. Any ideas?

      Hello Melissa! Have you tried re-encoding your video file to a standard MP4 format?

      Do you know what format and codec your video is using? Does this happen to any video files you upload to your Rise course? 

      Would you be willing to share the video files with us so that we can run some tests and have a closer look? If that's okay, you may upload your files to us directly by opening a case here. Our support team will be more than happy to investigate the issue for you.

  • I'm having the same issue when uploading my video. It displays "Media Could Not Be Loadedeither because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported".

    I've tried re-uploading it multiple times, and I've made sure the name has no special characters. Same issue keeps happening

      Hello ChatGPT Trainings, 

      Sorry to hear that you ran into a similar issue. 

      I'd like to ask a few questions to help clarify your experience. 

      • Are all of your videos affected, or just a few of them?
      • What application are you using to create and edit your videos?
      • Have you tried re-encoding your videos to a different video profile to see if this helps? You can use a tool called Handbrake for this. Here's where you can download this app, and this video will show you how to use it. 

      If the issue persists, please open a case with our support team here so we can take a closer look at what's happening.
