Minitube is a pretty wrapper around (Phonon/)VLC for watching YouTube videos without having to deal with the human junkyard that is youtube.com.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work:

gnutls tls client error: cannot load trusted Certificate Authorities: An unimplemented or disabled feature has been requested.
gnutls tls session error: Certificate verification failure (0x0042)
gnutls tls session error:  * Certificate not verified
gnutls tls session error:  * Signer not found
core tls session error: TLS client session handshake error
http access error: cannot establish HTTP/TLS session
core input error: open of `https://r2---sn-cxab5jvh-cg06.googlevideo.com/<hilarious_cat_video>' failed
core input error: Your input can't be opened
core input error: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://r2---sn-cxab5jvh-cg06.googlevideo.com/<hilarious_cat_video>'. Check the log for details.
gnutls tls client error: cannot load trusted Certificate Authorities: An unimplemented or disabled feature has been requested.
Phonon error: "No active input"  Phonon::NormalError

Any kind souls with knowledge?

Actually, VLC can also just open youtube URLs, which I do sometimes (also due to performance reasons), and it claims the cert isn't trustworthy. It can be clicked to ignore the problem, but it's annoying nevertheless.

Indeed, when I tried pasting the offending URL into VLC proper I could manually trust the cert. From then on, that particular video also plays fine in Minitube*.

Then I open the next video, and it fails all over again...

* So it must be something stateful I can hack around. I just don't know where to start.

I believe some package in the stack isn't directed to our cert location, $SSL_CERT_FILE (I think).

I'd think gnutls is the place to patch.

I'll try a solution and file a PR changing our gnutls (to discuss possible alternative solutions).

gnutls: set certificate location

This is a fast fix; it might be best to use $SSL_CERT_FILE.
Tested on vlc with youtube https URLs.
Discussed also on NixOS#8118.

Done #8121. It's rather a mass rebuild, unfortunately.

Pushed to staging, as reasonable usage depends on 651e83a.

Thanks for a nice package :-) though I slightly miss the configurability of vlc.
