HTML5 with AutoPlay not working… and "Play " button does not even appear

There has been a lot of discussions around the autoplay not functioning in videos made by Captivate 2019.

Since then I was playing with swf content and decided this year to move on to html5.

I ran into the same problem but the situation seems worse: on most of my videos I don't even have that play button !

I saw the workaround evoked by Lilybiri but no solution there for me.

There is just a wheel turning endlessly. So all my videos are off and 400 students waiting for these.

Go back to Flash and tell the students to install it, really ?

Absolutely any help wanted.

TIA,

Serge

Correct answer Lilybiri

Thank you Rod,

as I go through the process of debugging I see now that the scorm files that have problem are those with a simulation ; the simple video demo files do not have problems in HTML5.

We are in a very different perspective here.

I'll tell if I find any logic explanation.


Do you have FMR slides in the Sims?

Adding to Rod"s suggestions:

Does the server or the LMS support JSON?

Need more information:

  • What version of Captivate were these projects originally published in?
  • Are you publishing to SCORM for an LMS or just a web server?
  • If you are now publishing to HTML5 and these projects were NOT previously HTML5, is your web server or LMS configured to allow JSON files?

- Version 6, then 8 was used for most of them.

- It is Scorm 1.2 on a Moodle 3 LMS server.

For the last question Javascript Object Notation seems activated (I just found it in data formats) but I'll try Moodle forums to understand better the implications of that.

Strangely I just tried 2 videos, 1 failed, 1 succeded but why ? I can't figure out the difference. I continue on that way.

If anyone wants the files I can give them.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help.

Yes - and as I googled for this, not knowing the acronym, I saw other threads saying there is a problem between FMR and html5, isn't it?

Thank you for pointing this!
