Download Wistia videos

1. right-click on the playing video, select Copy link
2. find Wistia video ID in the copied link e.g. wvideo=tra6gsm6rl
   • alternative: look for e.g. hashedId=tra6gsm6rl in the page source
3. load http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/ + video ID in your browser
4. look for "type":"original" in the page source and copy the URL from the next line e.g. "url":"http://embed.wistia.com/deliveries/129720d1762175bcd8e06dcab926ec76ad38ff00.bin"
   • alternative: look for "type":"hd_mp4_video"
5. download the video from the URL with .mp4 extension instead of .bin

The old Wistia Video Downloader chrome extension that was taken down still works if you load it as an unpacked extension: https://fastupload.io/1153d3c99d9d7468
Double-checked the code and there's nothing malicious about it.

This link is redirecting me to some spam website, wanting me to purchase norton av.

Managed to eventually download and install. After 10 mins or so, chrome removes the extension again saying it contains malware

Same thing started happening to me. I'm not sure what part of the code is triggering Chrome to think that it has malware but I ended up just temporarily disabling the "Safe Browsing" protection temporarily while I used the extension. Once I was done with it, I disabled the extension and re-enabled "Safe Browsing".

You can find the setting here:
chrome://settings/security

Still works :-) Thank you!
