Hi,
Could you provide me with the file so I can test making an upload on my end?

That is not possible – those Dropbox links don’t link to the raw mp4 file. Those links trigger downloads. You’ll need the path to the raw video file in order to use it in the JWPlayer. You can test your streams here to see if they’ll work: https://developer.jwplayer.com/tools/stream-tester/
