Force render issues (raw=1) and shared links won't work for hosting.
images were perfect on all browsers until yesterday afternoon - what is the fix or is this a dropbox issue?
We are rolling out a fix for issues with raw=1 and dl=1 links that started recently. Please try again and let us know if it's still not working.
What the plugin developer said (last week)
The reason why it does not play in FV Player is that it probably checks some of the HTTP request headers, such as the referrer header. When I insert it using bare HTML5 video tag it won’t play either.
And...
So it’s not a problem with FV Player, but a more general issue.
I found that it actually depends on the dropbox.com cookies which your browser has.
So the Dropbox link cannot play the video reliably, as they probably don’t want you to be using their services for video playback anyway.
So there you go, It's Dropboxes fault, and NOT the FV Player plugin 🙂

If the links work when you test them in a browser, then they're working as expected. With that being the case, I'd say the fault is with using them in a manner not intended, which isn't a fault of Dropbox.
