Hi,
The problem seems to have been with the DailyMotion website, as both my example files have now downloaded correctly. I saw some reports that even the regular web browser playback from DM wasn't working, so they must have had a problem internally.
Sorry to have wasted anyone's time.
Chris.

I was getting the same error for trying to download a youtube playlist. Upgrading to 2019.01.30.1 from 2018.11.18 fixed it.
