Could you run it with --write-pages option and upload *.dump files that will be created in current directory?

There are two file created:
1)x12p8um_http_-_www.dailymotion.com_embed_video_x12p8um.dump
It contains

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html><head<title></title></head><body> <!--This is a comment. Comments are not displayed in the browser--> </body></html>

2)x12p8um_http_-_www.dailymotion.com_video_x12p8um.dump
It contains

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html><head<title></title></head><body> <!--This is a comment. Comments are not displayed in the browser--> </body></html>

Both display blank .html pages in browser.

Can you watch the video in your browser?

No, I am unable to watch it either. It shows error(2101). I tried it with both Chrome and Firefox. Both show the same error.

And it is true for all dailymotion videos so the problem is not in that particular video. Also, I am able to watch videos on other sites.

Then it's something on your network/computer. We can't do anything if you can't watch the video in your browser.
