loadStreamableURLForFile in Swift

Hi, We used DBRestClient.loadStreamableURLForFile to get NSURL for videos. Is there a similar call in SwiftyDropbox? Thanks

What exactly happens when "AVAsset does not get created properly"? Do you get an error?

I suspect the issue is that a shared link doesn't directly point to the file content, but rather an HTML preview. You can modify these links for direct content access though, as shown here:

Note that this isn't really recommended however, as these links are listed on https://www.dropbox.com/links, which may confuse users.
