Hello,

I think that Dailymotion has changed its code. the "dcmo_html user" div no longer works but there is a new code in <head>.

Proposal (line 1303):


                # mobj = re.search(r'(?im)

.*?(.+?)', webpage)
                mobj = re.search(r'(?im)(.+?)', webpage)

That's work fine for me

Yes, proposed change works very well. Other possible way is to use

mobj = re.search(r'(?im)<span class="owner foreground2">.*?<a class="name" title=".*?" href="/.+?">(.+?)</a></span>', webpage)

But I think code given by yvestan will be more resitant to future changes, as it do not depend on actuall layout of page, but some metadata embeded in dailmotion pages - it is called PageMap, and it is xml embeded as comment in html head. there is also other interesting informations there (notably duration in seconds and upload date).

So rg3 please include this fix given by initial reporter (line 1305).
