Default Re: External Media won't publish

The problem is just during publishing?
If OBP is just having problems with these lines but does complete, that
sucks, but not a big deal. Just copy the movie directory to the
published folder yourself.

However, if this problem means OBP never completes, so your project
never publishes - that's a problem. Does it finish? If so, are the movie
lines present in the .aam file? If so, you're probably ok if the only
need is to manually copy the movies to the published folder...

If not, you could probably work around it all by going with the not-OBP
(traditional) method of web-packaging and manually editing your .aam
files as needed...
