You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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.

The links are still valid and videos are working in dropbox, just not where embedded. Has something changed or is there a problem with dropbox?
I suspect Dropbox is actively blocking it - Dropbox isnt and never was a hosting platform. They have done this previously and so I wouldnt be shocked if they did it again.
This topic https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Create-upload-and-share/I-have-an-xml-file-which-i-share-with-my-own-smart-TV-app-but-it/td-p/756901/ indicates that raw=1 should work (it broke and was fixed again). It's a 302 redirect which has been re-introduced.
Actually I don't see the difference between sharing a hosted file and serving a hosted file.
