Description

At some moment all videos began to give me “is unauthorized” error. Digging into what causes it, I found that in scan_video function http reqest receives message SSL is required to perform this operation. when trying to access http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url={}&format=json. Changing http to https in the link fixed this issue for me.
