Why is my SCORM package not playing locally on Chrome or Edge browser? but plays on IE.

[former_member676711]

I have published few SCORM packages, I extracted the SCORM package and Launched the index.html file.

On Chrome browser. It is stuck at Loading content. Please wait..

On Edge it shows following message -

File not found

It may have been moved, edited, or deleted.

On IE it plays after allowing Javascript.

Has anyone faced this issue and is there any easy fix for this?

Thanks,

Prashant

Short answer: because modern browsers care about your safety. IE doesn't, and it's officially dead.

Long answer: modern browsers restrict execution of any pages that contain active content (i.e. JavaScript) from the local drive. It's only possible via opening them through HTTP protocol. So, you have to upload the active content to the web server, and run it via HTTP(S).

You just unzipped the SCORM and launched it locally? Not from an LMS?? Honestly, I'm surprised that even works in Internet Explorer - probably not by design, and probably one of the reasons no-one recommends using IE any more.

SCORM packages are designed to only be launched from an LMS. If you want to publish to a format you can use outside of SAP Enable Now (vs. launching from SEN, which is the recommended approach, where possible) but not from an LMS, you should publish a Standard package - but bear in mind you will only be able to launch that from a Web Server (Apache or IIS) - again, by design. If you really want a stand-alone package you can run locally (i.e. not on a Web Server) then you need to publish as a .exe (or SLC package for on-prem implementations, unless it's finally been discontinued...).
