Description
There is a weird error when trying to download a video.
It probably may be an OpenSSL issue or an OpenSSL usage issue.
I’ve tried to use cURL with the direct download link from the youtube-dl output and got the same error:

Looks like something that is both common to curl and Python and not used by your browser.
As I noted above, there are no issues with youtube in a browser.
