Been searchin around the web on how to stream video using dropbox. Found Lockergnome how to guide on doing this, except for one thing,  the damn video won't play.

following Lockergnome's instruction this is what i did
<video width="612" height="388" controls="controls">
<source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/zb1bmkopo30wxkc/11736306_602243019918760_587642156_n.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
Turns out i was missing a "?dl=1" at the end of the link

 <video width="612" height="388" controls="controls">
<source src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/zb1bmkopo30wxkc/11736306_602243019918760_587642156_n.mp4?dl=1" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
and now the it works perfectly :) cheap ass CDN for cheapskate like me.
