Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Trying to download from https://www.francetvinfo.fr/
Failure, with error message:

ERROR: Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error [Errno 1] _ssl.c:510: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol> (caused by URLError(SSLError(1, '_ssl.c:510: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol'),))

This "could" be related with other (now closed) issues: #14827 , #14947 , although the error is not the same.

FWIW, it is unclear if the site is supported on list:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/docs/supportedsites.md

• culturebox.francetvinfo.fr : is listed
• francetvinfo.fr : is not listed

So ? Does this mean the latter one not supported ?

[dstftw]

Most likely due to outdated python.

[skramm]

Thanks. What is the required Python version ?
Because here:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#description
it says:

It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+

and I see in the log that it uses 2.7.

and I have:

$python --version
Python 3.4.3
$ python2 --version
Python 2.7.6

Any hint ?

[dstftw]

youtube-dl works with any aforementioned version. Some SSL features may not be available in older versions though.

[skramm]

I'm not a python guy, so I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean it's my SSL python library that's outdated? I checked this (with default Python shell, 2.7):

>>> import ssl
>>> ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION
'OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014'

Sure, looks pretty old, but...is it really that the faulty part ?
Because updating openssl seems tedious (="build from sources" only, AFAIK)

More generally, is there a way with youtube-dl to know and/or to enforce the required version of the used libraries? That could help in this kind of situations...

[skramm]

Any help ? Because currently youtube-dl is not working (on my machine), @dstftw has closed this issue, and I have no real clue on what to do next... I have the latest release, so how I am supposed to know what's not working ?
