I’ve never understood the error completely. I know it has something to do with new versions of Python/urllib trying to verify the security certificates (older versions of Python/urllib did not do this). I only know of some workarounds. 1. Do not verify certificates. A bit like how older Python versions worked: - [Import ssl and urllib2](https://github.com/plexinc-plugins/ABC.bundle/blob/736b66937f0a2f8a6f8a9379ea27bd62bfe89f34/Contents/Code/ __init__.py#L1 "Import ssl and urllib2") - [Use urllib2 with a default ssl context](https://github.com/plexinc-plugins/ABC.bundle/blob/736b66937f0a2f8a6f8a9379ea27bd62bfe89f34/Contents/Code/ __init__.py#L123-L133 "Use urllib2 with a default ssl context") (which does not verify the certificate). Or: 2. Use external Python libraries - Add [those libraries](https://github.com/piplongrun/muvio.bundle/tree/c859f420361e01e480410647aaabb6ddc713aeaa/Contents/Libraries/Shared "those libraries") to your project bundle and use them. - [Set PlexPluginCodePolicy to Elevated in Info.plist](https://github.com/piplongrun/muvio.bundle/blob/c859f420361e01e480410647aaabb6ddc713aeaa/Contents/Info.plist#L11-L12 "Set PlexPluginCodePolicy to Elevated in Info.plist") - [Import certifi and requests into your Python code](https://github.com/piplongrun/muvio.bundle/blob/c859f420361e01e480410647aaabb6ddc713aeaa/Contents/Code/ __init__.py#L1-L2 "Import certifi and requests into your Python code") - [Use requests in your code](https://github.com/piplongrun/muvio.bundle/blob/c859f420361e01e480410647aaabb6ddc713aeaa/Contents/Code/ __init__.py#L68 "Use requests in your code") --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/https-broken/216635)._
