Gnash most likely does not support some feature of Flash DailyMotion
uses.  You can report a bug to the Gnash team to see if they can fix
it:

There is another free software alternative to Flash called LightSpark
that might work better.  Unfortunately, it relies on patent-encumbered
codecs, so it's only available from RPMFusion.  If you have the
rpmfusion-free repository enabled, you can just "yum install
lightspark", otherwise see http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration for
instructions.
