I was unable to play youtube videos on Debian testing with XBMC 13 beta3 ( installed from deb-multimedia.org ) using curl 7.36 and youtube plugin 4.4.6.
The log says:

Code:

I tried using curl directly and got the same error :

Code:

$ curl https://r4---sn-bavc5aoxu-nv4e.googlevideo.com/
curl: (35) error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

This is caused by curl 7.36 disabling some ssl cyphers by default and can be fixed by adding the "--ciphers ALL" option to curl, however I was unable to configure XBMC to use it.

A temporary workaround is downgrading curl to version 7.26 ( e.g. : apt-get install libcurl3=7.26.0-1+wheezy8 libcurl3:i386=7.26.0-1+wheezy8 curl=7.26.0-1+wheezy8 ).

This Bug exist under windows too (beta4). E.g. if curl try to get something from github

Code:

Just updated to beta 4, and I had previously edited the youtube plugin to add "|SSLCipherList=DEFAULT:RC4-SHA" to video urls and it seems to work fine.
Thank you wsnipex.

Where did you add the cipher string in the plugin?

Update: Tried: https://github.com/Gentro/youtube-xbmc-p...ll/1/files but not working (running 13.1b1 on 14.04).

Update 2: XBMC uses PyCurl. PyCurl on Ubuntu will only use GNUTLS the way it's compiled. Here's a guide on how to compile and install your own .deb that uses OpenSSL. This makes the Youtube plugin work after you've patched the plugin (like below).
