videos won't play
Recently uploaded two MP4 videos in dropbox. When I click on them they start to play for about a 10th of a second and then quit and go back to list of videos.I have no idea why won't play. I don't ha...
Wednesday, 2/25.....my videos play perfectly now. Fingers crossed.
This also affects me. Also started a few days ago.
Videos won't play in browser (firefox) but work fine on the app, even older ones where the media player worked perfectly in the past.
Clearing cookies or changing browser only brings temporarily relief, before it starts to buffer weirdly and then break again.
The moment I select a video it opens for a half a second before kicking me back into list view, happening consistently on nearly all videos, with the odd few second video being able to playback.

Dropbox StaffHI YellowBear, does this occur for all videos on your account? What are the filetypes of videos you're playing and what size are they?
all mp4, preview gives the same size for the three I'm having trouble with, hmmmm 192.93 mb but they have different KB sizes
