I tried downloading from Youtube, DailyMotion and even Pornhub (plus other sites). Results still the same.

well, if it helps anyone else, I can confirm that youtube-dl.exe isn’t being downloaded correctly. Download youtube-dl.exe from the official site and save it to %appdata%\youtube-dlg\youtube-dl.exe, and it will work fine.

For future reference, I had to install the Visual C++ 2010 redistributables before it would work for me.
