In AllTube, we use youtube --get-url on the server then provide the URL to the user so he can download the video. This works well for most extractor, but Dailymotion URLs contain an auth token that seems to be valid only for one computer, so the URL generated on the server can't be used by the client.
I don't think there is any way to fix this in youtube-dl but maybe you have an idea for a workaround (apart from reimplementing the extractor in JS).

Apparently it works if both the machine running youtube-dl and the machine using the download URL are on the same network, but not if there are on different networks. Not sure how the "auth" parameter in the donwload URL encode this information for enforcing it.
A workaround if possible would be great...

I'm closing this issue, since it's not a problem in youtube-dl. If someone finds a method, feel free to contribute it.
