Embed video code. video not playing on iPhone (Safari, Chrome)
Hi, Dropboxcommunity! I have the following problem: I embed the code on the website to play the video: <video width='100%' autoplay='true' playsinline='' loop='true' muted='true\'> <source src...
Solution:
On the iPhone, browsers, especially Safari, use the bayte range "mechanism" to load media (videos and images, for example). The default dripobox file sharing urls do not allow this type of call. I spent a long time with the same problem, and the solution is very simple:
Change the sharing url from "www.dropbox.com" to "dl.dropboxusercontent.com".
Ex:
URL: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nai9ek3ssssbz53ctjivenolt/sdsddss_20230926_203135.mp4?rlkey=sasaa&dl=1
to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/nai9ek3ssssbz53ctjivenolt/sdsddss_20230926_203135.mp4?rlkey=sasaa&dl=1
Do this for videos and images, and everything should work fine in Safari, and in other browsers (Android, PC, etc.).
