Hey All, I often post little demo videos to my community site by dumping them in dropbox, copying the public link, pasting the link into Discourse and changing the dl=0 to dl=1 on the end of the supplied url. It seems to work in all browsers except for Opera. For example, see [this page](https://community.cantabilesoftware.com/t/sneak-peak-transport-triggers/3157). It’s not a codec problem - the same video file either directly from local file or when shown via the Dropbox page works fine ([see here](https://www.dropbox.com/s/3i1ecoxh50wy9n9/CantabileTransportTriggers.mp4?dl=0)). This seems to be specific to Discourse. Any ideas on how to make this work? Also, Feature Request: it’d be great if when pasting a Dropbox link into Discourse it automatically replaced the query string parameter `dl=0` to `dl=1` so that the viewer automatically gets embedded.
