Embed Video Into Webpage
Is the last few years of embedding Dropbox videos into a web page a thing of the past? Was there a recent update - maybe within the last few days? Embedded videos suddenly stopped working and the...
Same thing here, all my videos stopped working as of today.
Thanks for your reply. Good to know.
Am not using a content management system. Website is updated using Dreamweaver.
I thought it might be a browser issue initially. Was using Opera, then checked with Chrome browser and the result with Chrome browser was some worked and some didn't. Then nothing worked. Did a cache and registry check/clean. Didn't help. Used a different computer - same issue.
This is the video code that's been embedded into my webpages for years:
<div class="fluid header">
<video width="1280" height="720" title="Laxemedia.com" poster="" autoplay controls loop>
<source src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xxrdnssnfl85aho/roll-video-eng.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Was NOT using the type="video/mp4?dl=0 or the type="video/mp4?raw=1 code after video/mp4 as some have mentioned but did try it but no luck there either.
Also tried using <source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxrdnssnfl85aho/roll-video-eng.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Didn't work either.

No, no, no... definitely no. Range download mode is something standard and widely used. It's the way to consume video (and not only) stream as needed (no need to download everything at once). It's the way every browser is using (or most of them, at least). If the video file is too small - ~100kB (i.e. downloaded in one step), it's still possible to work (before fixing the bug). Otherwise you can't do anything, more than move to embedder temporary. It's Dropbox' server bug.
By the way, I just checked and seems to be fixed already. Do you see that issue still?
Wow, just checked and looks like things are back to normal.
Thank you...
