youtube-dl: Download not possible from dailymotion.

[taluko]

Hi all, I'm using youtube-dl on linux, and I cannot use youtube-dl on a certain video. Just entering youtube-dl https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6dokan results in the folowing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have already updated to the recent version with youtube-dl -U, now on version (2020.01.24), but the problem persists. Can anyone help me with this problem? A large thank you in advance.
