Cannot Stream Video (Direct Link Problem)
Hi there, I'm currently trying to stream a video from Dropbox on my web app using Video.JS but I think I have a problem with getting the direct link from Dropbox. The video keeps loading forever. ...
Hannah Thanks for your answer, Hannah. Unfortunately, it's still not working. Actually, those links you removed are actually in that structure too. I tried to modify the link following this structure:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?rlkey=<token>&raw=1
To be sure the redirect works, I tried putting that link in n8n to do a HTTP Request and Follow Redirects. It does recognize the data file but the video still not being able to play. Not in n8n or in any web app I tried.
Could you please help? Thanks so much.
Hannah To update my issue, It seems like only Chrome can show the video directly, I have tried Firefox and Vivaldi without any uBlock or adblock.
Firefox: corrupt file error
Vivaldi: black screen, although show the correct timecode.
I thought it was adblock but it seems like the browser is an issue. Please advise. Thank you!
