In the last week or so, some Dropbox video links from Patreon stopped working (I don't know if it affects any other sites - this is the one I use Dropbox for). I can't tell if the problem is that they're protected videos (which I have passwords for), or the file type (.mp4). I was able to stream a .mov file on a different Patreon account, but that creator doesn't password-protect their files.
When I enter the password on a protected video, I get a "video failed to load" message. This happens on my tablet and my phone, Wi-Fi and LTE. I have tried clearing the cache, uninstalling/restarting/reinstalling, and downloading a third-party video player as suggested on a previous thread. Unlike the October issue, I don't even get a static image when the video tries to load (the error message is something I haven't seen before, and I can't find any other instances like this in the forums).
My specs:
Tablet - Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus (Android 10, 64GB)
Phone - Google Pixel 4 XL (Android 12, 64GB)
The videos open fine on desktop (protected videos on other services like Vimeo and Dailymotion also work normally), so it's definitely app-related. Any suggestions?
