Hi all,
This is of youtube-dl 2014.06.07. I was trying to download videos from dailymotion and got this :-

$ youtube-dl -F "http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x207mdu_mardaani-trailer-review_people"
[dailymotion] x207mdu: Downloading webpage
[dailymotion] x207mdu: Extracting information
[dailymotion] x207mdu: Downloading embed page
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('youtube-dl==2014.06.07', 'console_scripts', 'youtube-dl')()

    self.extract_info(url)

    ie_result = ie.extract(url)

    return self._real_extract(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/dailymotion.py", line 153, in _real_extract
    'uploader': info['owner_screenname'],
KeyError: 'owner_screenname'

Looking forward to know more.

Thank you for the report. This has been fixed in youtube-dl 2014.06.25. It looks like you installed youtube-dl with pip or a package manager. If you used pip, you can update with

sudo pip install -U youtube-dl

If you are using a package manager, contact the package maintainer and request a newer version.
