Killing download and resuming it goes wrong

[johnnynoone]

I try to download a movie from Dailymotion and embed metadata (and subtitles, if available). Ubuntu 13.10 x64, ffmpeg version 0.8.9-6:0.8.9-0ubuntu0.13.10.1 . Here's a sample output:

The video you posted is not available, I've tested with youtube-dl 'http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x33vw9_tutoriel-de-youtubeur-dl-des-video_tech' --add-metadata and it works fine with ffmpeg (1.2.4) and avconv (9.10). Could you post which version of avconv you have (that's what is run instead of ffmpeg): avprobe -version.
Also could you paste the output you get when you run the command seen in ffmpeg command line: avconv ...?, it may give additional info

The following worked for a while and then displayed an error: (BTW when I download things from youtube, everything is OK and ffmpeg throws no errors.)

I found an interesting case: two videos from Dailymotion, from the same user. One causes the error and one not. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19jnpl_my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-season-4-episode-9-pinkie-apple-pie-1080p_shortfilms and http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19wpfn_my-little-pony-season-4-episode-10-rainbow-fall-hd_shortfilms

Avconv command line was the same for both videos, except for title. The error on the second video:

OK, I think I figured it out. It's not Dailymotion's fault. Postprocessing error happens if I kill youtube-dl and then resume download later. I guess something is wrong with resuming.
