Explanation of your issue in arbitrary form goes here. Please make sure the description is worded well enough to be understood. Provide as much context and examples as possible.

I used to be able to watch videos from http://www.cbc.ca/player/, but for a few weeks now I have not been able to, and I always get error messages such as the one I've reported here.

There's some sort of an SSL certificate error. At least for a temporary fix you can pass --no-check-certificate option to youtube-dl.
