We are experiencing the same issue this week.

Video (MP4) files that have been shared for a long time suddenly stopped working. 
We append the ?raw=1  to the url to play them in an iframe.

 

Currently it only shows black video player control, but you can't click on the buttons to play.

In the browser Dev Tools (F12)  I can see the redirect happens but the redirected file encounters a permissions issue (http error 403)

When I remove the ?raw=1  I can play the video file but this does not seem to work within an iframe.
