[dropbox] Video download from Dropbox fails #3605
Comments

Thank you for the report. This has been fixed in youtube-dl 2014.08.28.1. Type |
I have been trying to use youtubedl to download a video from dropbox. It used to work but lately it started failing. When I inspect network while downloading or viewing the video from the dropbox link I have noticed that the video file is splitted in multiple stream files (mp2t). A small file is downloaded containing the html of the dropbox page. I am not sure if it is a known issue but I couldn't find reference to this problem in the existing issues.
This is the command I run:
youtube-dl https://www.dropbox.com/s/1w26tizrrcrni1t/flumflumtree.mov?dl=0 -o vid
