Hi @craigconstantine (nice to see you) have you remembered about dropbox shares where the original dropbox share link has dl=0 at the end - if you edit this to raw=1 it should work as a player that works for most people using different OS and browsers. The details are on DB but I may be slightly missing the point about multiple redirects. Hope it helps.
