Hi! I have ssl handshake problems on my Viaplay plugin - [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/82378/rel-viaplay-se-no-dk-fi#latest](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/82378/rel-viaplay-se-no-dk-fi#latest). I noticed that some “Vice” plugin had the same issue. On my local python installation the “python request module” managed to handle the handshake properly. I tried to import this in my channel, but it failed due to ancient ssl version etc: > Does anyone know how to get around this? Is Plex FW planning some update of python/ssl versions? I guess there’s a risk that more and more channels bump into similar issues. So some general FW solution should be preferred. Br Jesper ---

Hi Jeppe. This is already been tracked by Plex, but what the outcome will be, is sadly unknown to me, as well as an ETA on this. But on their Radar /T ---

I’m a Ninja, and as such, can ask people you can’t 😛 But even Ninja info is limited, since as you know, Plex never ever hands out roadmaps nor ETA’s /T ---
