Focus Theme: Remote Video file not showing in post

I’m trying to create a video post using the Remote Video file pointing to an mp4 from my Google drive. When I view my post, there is only a blank black box that shows up. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Also, can I link to files on Dropbox?

The page url is http://crowdedskyfilms.com/2016/10/22/blaine-hicklin-reel/

I also noticed when I viewed the Focus demo page, the post for the Big Buck Bunny has the same issue. It looks like it is supposed to be a self hosted video, but it doesn’t show up either.

Thank you for your help.
