If the purpose of this issue is a site support request please provide all kinds of example URLs support for which should be included (replace following example URLs by yours):

• https://thefoundation.com/summit/eight-figure-tuesday/jason-fried
• Almost any of the links on the right sidebar of this page. (This issue seems related to Wistia; usually the first and last video of a day are youtube videos.)
• (Interestingly, youtube-dl successfully downloaded the correct videos a few days ago. Something must have changed on the site since then?)

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

• Youtube-dl finds and downloads a video from https://thefoundation.com/summit/eight-figure-tuesday/jason-fried, but downloads the wrong one. I would like to download the video that autoplays when the page is loaded.
• The correct video can be downloaded with: youtube-dl //fast.wistia.com/embed/iframe/bda7g14zc8
• The Wistia ID was inferred from this HTML:

    <div class="wistia_embed wistia_async_bda7g14zc8 videoFoam=true autoPlay=true js-main-session-video" style="height:100%;width:100%">

Suggested Solution: modify the generic information extractor to detect the video that autoplays on https://thefoundation.com/summit/eight-figure-tuesday/jason-fried (and similar pages). This video can be identified by the autoPlay attribute.
