Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I have youtube-dl running on my QNAP, I've setup the user config file, and the netrc file.

Outdated python.

Thanks, I'll see about updating it :)

[Edit 1]

Hmm, my log says I'm using

[debug] Python version 2.7.5 - Linux-4.2.8-x86_64-with-glibc2.2.5

The documentation says the following:

youtube-dl is a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites. It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+, and it is not platform specific. It should work on your Unix box, on Windows or on Mac OS X. It is released to the public domain, which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like.

What version of Python do I then need? @dstftw

[siddht4]

Based on your log, YouTube-dl failed to establish the SSL connection with the server.youtube-dl can run in python version 2.6 to 3.7. anyways try as 'python3 YouTube-dl' to run it in latest python version 3.7

Thanks for the help, I was able to update Python, and all is well.
