Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Youtube DL does not have an extractor for ifunny videos. Currently, the generic extractor is used, and the file that gets extracted is not the actual video, but what youtube DL believes to be a playlist file. The information extractor appears to be matching the content attribute from the wrong meta tag.
