Rise creating long file names
Hello, When I export the rise file, rise 360 creates long names under the scormcontent > assets. Is there a way to control the number of characters? My LMS says there is an error in the filepath...
Looking at Steven Benassi's last post, it's not even on the radar, so best to look for another solution - and Rise provides it!
Well, I think Rise is a brilliant product but there are always things you need to work around.
With long filenames, the only workaround that's both simple and consistent is, as in my last post, to embed a video hosted elsewhere.
FWIW, the people I use are Streaming Video Provider (SVP). I have absolutely no connection with them, no affiliate relationship, and no friends or relatives working there. Just quite a few years of using their services, with absolutely brilliant support from them (real people responding within an hour or two, and who actually look into problems).
So now, I create the video as I want, upload it to SVP, copy the "share" code, and paste it into a Rise Multimedia > Embed block, where it will stay, unaffected by (say) the Rise "compression" process.
You can even create your own thumbnail!
Job done.
Yes, it's a bit of work to set the process up to start with, but once you're under way, it's a breeze.
And the zipped up Rise export files, without the videos, are a whole lot smaller, too!
Hi Steve, you already posted that workaround above. I appreciate that this is a suitable solution for you. However, it is not a solution for many companies who need/want ownership of all their content in one place or simply can't use external video services for data protection reasons.
Dividing data locations for one product is also rarely a good idea in the long run in my experience. makes maintenance of the content more complex for one thing.It's great that Rise offers both solutions for video integration, but it's sad that one of them has a bug that Articulate fail to acknowledge as such.

I still also find Sharepoint somewhat unreliable for hosting videos - you can at least use the embed code, but I find the permissions settings slightly unreliable/inconsistent with Sharepoint for selecting certain audiences.
