Wistia.com Video Hosting Service

[leotulipan]

Websites using this service include iframes e.g:

<iframe src="http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/6255m3vcyr" allowtransparency="true" 
frameborder="0" scrolling="no" class="wistia_embed" name="wistia_embed" 
allowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" 
oallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" width="619" height="446">
</iframe>

This will integrate a HTML5/Flash Player. The Video URL (Flash) is found in a script-tag

<script>
  //<![CDATA[
Wistia.iframeInit({"assets":
{"flv":{"type":"flv",
"url":"http://embed.wistia.com/deliveries/64e37c2bde22412f580baa0c4c09c4e01c7e28dc.bin",
"width":1000,
"height":720,
"ext":"flv",
"size":64097506},

 [........... more stuff here ..... ]

  //]]>
</script>

any chance in integrating a parser for this in the script?

Can you name one or more example URLs that use this service?

Currently just the one mentioned above uses iframe
http://theglutensummit.com/mark-hyman-md/ (or go to http://theglutensummit.com/day-3/ for 3 more examples)

Basically I just used Chrome Inspect Element

1. Open Iframe in new windo
2. Inspect Element again (CTRL-SHIFT-J)
3. Switch to Element Tab, find Script tag
4. Double click to get at the http.... .bin link (this is the FLV file)
5. Download with wget

I also found this one, which directly integrates (as a div)
http://www.blatternet.de/musik-und-zeitmanagement/
since by default it integrates a flash player you'll find the .bin video url in the flashvars param string

+1 For this feature. Apparently there are some freeware windows apps that claim to be able to DL wistia videos.

Generic support for embedded wistia videos has been added in version 2014.09.28. Type youtube-dl -U to update. I am closing this now. If you experience any issues related to this, please comment here or feel free to open a new issue. Thank you for your report.

If you are unable to find the embed link and all you see is blob links then watch this vid to extract the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brPg8So8H-E
