    Hi Jane

    I couldn’t solve the problem despite helpful suggestions from your community, so I was given access to the original videos as a collaborator on the author’s site.

    I have since deleted the troublesome videos from my Dropbox.

Did you download them to the device and open them in a media player app on the iPad, or are you just streaming them through Dropbox from the original source?

    Hello Rich

    thank you for responding. 

    I an streaming from original source. 

    If there is an app I can get to try, that would be great. 

    Although I have worked with computers all my working life (I’m now a pensioner!) Dropbox has me beaten!

    Thanks again!
