Hi @The-Compiler , it seems that the generic extractor (--force-generic-extractor) now works fine.

No difference for me:

For some reason, it still uses wimp for you:

Can you try #22091?

[bitraid]

The reason for the redirect (and wimp usage) is the use of http instead of https for the url.

[The-Compiler]

Ah, right! I tried that because I wanted to find out if the page's reply is actually the video (and not some error page or something).

Works fine with --force-generic-extractor and https indeed - but isn't that kind of a bug on its own?

[Hrxn]

@bitraid What about videos on Wimp embedded from YouTube or Instagram?
Does this work with --force-generic-extractor as well, did you test this?

[bitraid]

@The-Compiler The generic extractor should use the detected extractor on redirects, but when used with --force-generic-exctractor, i think you are right, it should stick with it. @dstftw , @remitamine What do you think?

@Hrxn Yes, they work.
