This video (and other dailymotion videos) fails to download unless I specify -f hd on the command line (which is what I guess it should be trying to download by default)

Please include the full output you get with that URL when you run youtube-dl with the --verbose flag. Might be you have some -f <something> value set in your youtube-dl.conf and there isn't such a format for Dailymotion. If that's the case, you can tweak your youtube-dl config file or run youtube-dl with --ignore-config flag.

Ah yes, that was exactly the problem - my bad. -f bestvideo+bestaudio is in my config, I'll use the ignore flag. Thanks very much!

You may prefer to use -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best in the configuration file, it will fallback to the hd format for dailymotion videos.
