    Hi, thanks for your response.

     

    I can confirm, for whatever reason the audio/video files will now play with no issues at all. The error is no longer appearing.

     

    Could you offer any advice why this error has disappeared and randomly fixed it self?

     

    Thanks

Please check your Dropbox email address, and reply back to my ticket when you get the chance.
