alert handshake failure cant download image?

[NickWinston123]

I get this same type of error on every soundcloud song I try to download:
WARNING: Unable to download thumbnail "https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000155544517-9ww49z-t500x500.jpg": <urlopen error [Errno 1] _ssl.c:510: error:14077410:SSL

Also is there an option so that if it can't find an image for some reason it attaches an alternative image to the track so it doesn't stop it from downloading other tracks (when I download a playlist)

Figured out it was a python version error but now its having trouble attaching the images to the files

it is saying the jpg is no there but it is

Two issues:

1. alert handshake failure: soundcloud's site i1.sndcdn.com requires at least Python 2.7.9 or Python 3.2. See #5366.
2. I guess you're using avconv, which is broken. Install ffmpeg and add --prefer-ffmpeg to youtube-dl. See #7238.
