Description
My HTTPS-E version is actually 3.4.5, but I didn't see that listed in the version field...
Problem url:
http://www.bitplane.com/learning
Click on "Advanced Search", and filter the list for "tutorial videos" or "webinar recordings" -> thumbnails of the flash videos (hosted by wistia) are generally not visible. If you choose "application video gallery" instead, those flash video thumbnails (also wistia-hosted) work fine.
I noticed one difference is that the videos with thumbnails that work are playing back in a floating overlay window, but the ones where thumbnails fail are playing back in a player that's embedded in the webpage.
The reason I submitted this as a ruleset bug for the wistia domains is that, if I disable the "Wistia (parial)" ruleset, all the video thumbnails are generated just fine.
Since Wistia sells video hosting services, I guess this may affect other customers of theirs besides bitplane.com, but I don't know of any other specific ones other than their "sister site":

(Bitplane is an Andor / Oxford Instruments company)
