I have an xml file which i share with my own smart TV app, but it doesn't work.
I have an xml file which i share to my own smart tv app. It has worked several years and suddenly today it doesn't work anymore. I did contact the support but they wanted me try here.. My question is...
We are rolling out a fix for issues with raw=1 and dl=1 links. Please try again and let us know if it's still not working.

Dropbox StaffHi there, deco10, I hope you're doing well!
I'm guessing you're using a shared link, is that correct? If not, then please feel free to clarify.
Does that shared link preview fine when you copy and paste it on a browser? Also, let me know if you use an API.
Do you get a specific error message and does this happen with any other file type?
Keep me posted!
Hi Megan,
Yes it is a shared file that is in my public folder. When i copy the shared link. I need to change the last part of the url from ?dl=0 to raw=1..after i have done that and i run it in chrome ut will open the xml file but the url is changing to something like this..

Hi from me as well, deco10 and happy Friday!
Can you let me know if the link itself previews fine when opened from a computer browser or a phone?
If it does, this might have to do with some kind of update on the TV instead.
- Hi Hannah, update is off and done manually. I haven't update it sense i bought it 😅.. As mentioned before it opens in webbrowser but it changes the url.. This didn't happen before.. It must be at Dropbox side..
