Soundcloud JSON not working

[laundry-96]

ERROR: Unable to download JSON metadata: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)> (caused by URLError(SSLError(1, u'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)'),))

I don't really know what this means but it looks like the ssl isn't getting verified properly for some reason...

Post the full output of youtube-dl when run with --verbose option.

I am having the same problem. Here is what I get with --verbose

This is homebrew's openssl fault, wget also fails:
