I recently upgraded to Firefox 44.0.2 and am not sure if I have downloaded any videos from dailymotion
since then. It seems like a strange coincidence...

This video downloaded fine for me on Firefox 44.0.2.
Anyone else's feedback ?

One other piece of information that might have something to do with this is that I have the Flash plugin disabled in Firefox. The videos still play fine. And the list of video files I see in the VDH list are all various resolutions of mp4. I get the same VDH error no matter which resolution mp4 I choose for download.

I have noticed the same problem, but it seems to be intermittent. The first download of a firefox session will often download (but not always), and after that the same error (empty media or protected) will appear. I have just upgraded to Firefox 44.0.2 and am about to try reinstalling back to 44.0 to see if it helps.

Thanks very much for your answer. I've signed up to follow that forum for updates. Meanwhile, I'm new to VDH, in case not screamingly obvious, so forgive me for the likely base-level Q, but from this photo can you tell if there's a way to see whether that list represents the extent of available variants? Thanks again! --mh

In this screenshot, all entries have the lock icon, so none is downloadable :(
If you are lucky (meaning YouTube is using vp9/opus to play the version in the page), you will get an entry to download the video as a WEBM file.
If you are not (meaning YouTube is using vp9/aac), you'll have to wait for a few days to install a development version of VDH 5.6.0 that will offer a MKV file for download. Follow https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/video-downloadhelper-5 to get notified of availability of 5.6.0a1

I've found VDH couldn't be used in the private browsing mode. That was all.

I tried downloading http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x488aot_%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C%E3%81%A7%E3%82%82%E5%A5%BD%E3%81%8D%E3%81%A0%E3%82%88_fun and didn't get any problem (VDH detects 4 variants in HLS and 4 in direct MP4 download). Tried again from a private mode window, only got the MP4 entries, causing the "media is empty" symptom. I restarted Firefox, opened a private window, and now i can download the vids without problem. Not sure what to think but definitely an issue to keep an eye on.

Another method is to copy and paste the dailymotion video url to Allavsoft and click Download button.
