[SOLVED]Unable to download any files that require hls, errors with SSL Handshake failed. (INSTALL PYTHON 2.7.9)

[jaw20]

When I try to download anything that require the use of hls.py, the script seems to fail and errors out with URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure>

Sometime I can get the script to create the .ts file its supposed to be downloading but its called"Redirecting..."

NOTE: This seems to be Series specific, seemingly only effecting Gurren Lagaan episode 13 and higher.

Its also worth noting that HLS with the script (at least on my end is completely broken and errors with the message above.)
This has been split into 2 issues, on the basis that this one deals with HLS, while the other deals with rtmp. SEE #104

Although now creating any file using the script titles it as "Redirecting..." . This is the same if I use a different computer as well. (Not using the solution from #84)

SEE #106

This seems to be persisting after a couple of days, and the only way that this can be avoided is through using RTMP only.

This has to be an issue with either m3u8 or the HLS code you guys implemented. This is probably something that should be fixed ASAP. @jsonn you were the one who originally implemented hls, could you shed any light on this?

[jsonn]

This is from urllib itself. It has nothing to do with the HLS code. I certainly don't see any problems on Linux. As I said elsewhere, the most likeliest candidate is that Windows-Python simply ships an outdated SSL implememtation that can't deal with modern TLS.

[jsonn]

OK, so there was a new issue in that crunchy decided to use unencrypted segments in some cases. #98 has a fix for that as well. It won't help with the SSL handshake issue though.

[jsonn]

You can reproduce the SSL problem with the following Python code:

import urllib2
urllib2.urlopen("https://v.vrv.co")

My Windows VM certainly fails providing a working SSL handshake, Linux is perfectly fine (error 403 is expected).

[jsonn]

You might need to install a fresh Python 2.7 to get a newer OpenSSL.

[jaw20]

I have tried re-installing 2.7.5 multiple times and I think that 2.7.9 did work(in that I wasn't getting an ssl error) when I installed it. Maybe it just isn't possible to run the script on python 2.7.5 anymore.

See #106

Didn't fix for me!
Now I get as #105
