Aspose.Slides for .NET 24.1 Does Not Export a Presentation with Videos to HTML5

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Just take the ususal suspect code

Presentation presentation =  new Presentation("example.pptx");
presentation.Save("output.html", SaveFormat.Html5);

Will throw

System.ArgumentException: Resource not found (Parameter ‘obj’)

This does not happen with 22.11 (or so) but that version has several other issues.

The PPTX file is just one slide with a video.

Thank you for providing the fix.

It is okay but not good enough.

The presentation I’d like to convert has 53 pages.
Saving the slides individually as HTML5 will save
all slides in one HTML file. The “normal” HTML
does not do that.

I split them manually and save each file with a
single slide as HTML5. Works but the videos
are out of sync. They all show the same video.

Which is from the last file/slide.

Could you please share the presentation file and code example you used? We will do our best to help you.

Dear Andrey,

I am very sorry for the delay

The ZIP file contains a 3 page PPTX.

The code in question is this

using (Presentation convertMe = new Presentation(thePath + pptx))
{
    int numSlides = convertMe.Slides.Count;
    for (int iSlide = 0; iSlide < convertMe.Slides.Count; iSlide++)
    {
        // Prepare names.
        string pName = theOutPath + iSlide.ToString("D2") + ".pptx";
        string hName = theOutPath + iSlide.ToString("D2") + ".html";

        value = 100.0 * iSlide / numSlides;
        theSplitter.ReportProgress((int)value);

        // Saving starts. Which page?
        convertMe.Save(hName, new[] { iSlide + 1 }, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Html5);
    }
}

The conversion works OK so far but I get 3 HTML files that are identical and contain
all slides.

I was doubting the code and changed Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Html5

to Html. I’ll an HTML file per slide. As expected.

Hope that helps.
