I have up to date youtube-dl version (2014.02.17-1 on trusty)
This is already reported in the youtube-dl github bug list : https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/3157
Fix is to upgrade youtube-dl to version >=2014.06.25.

This is fixed in utopic, so someone will need to SRU the fix to trusty

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Closing as fixed for the development release and leaving open for trusty SRU.

I suspect the problem lies with the age restriction and confirmation wall that dailymotion puts up for this particular video. My guess would be that other videos from that site work fine.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

Works fine for me, btw, in trusty, not only in utopic.
