Plasmatube + self-hosted Invidious instance (via http) receives SSL error

I’m guessing the app is forcing https? Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to circumvent this if so? Here’s the error:

SSL handshake failed: Error during SSL handshake: error:0A0000C6:SSL routines::packet length too long, error:0A000139:SSL routines::record layer failure

It looks it is forcing HTTPS.

But even if I try with a self signed certificate HTTPS instance of invidious on localhost, it refuses the connection (due to the self-signed) :
Error for QNetworkReply::SslHandshakeFailedError QUrl("https://localhost:3443/api/v1/trending") "Le handshake SSL a échoué: Le nom d'hôte ne correspondait à aucun des hôtes valides pour ce certificat"

Any ideas to make it works with a localhost instance ?

Hi! I don’t have any workaround ideas myself (others might!), but just for reference, there is a reported and confirmed issue in the KDE Bugtracking System regarding this: 489527 – Plasma Tube uses SSL with unencrypted http

Following that bug report by adding yourself to the CC list in Bugzilla would send you update emails when new comments or status changes occur :slight_smile:
