Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

Is anyone else able to reproduce this issue?

Yes - and it's been this way for a long time! (A good while back) I had to add an option in Fauxdacious to handle this issue on Windows version, which has been working quite well:

neon.cc:

static const ComboItem ignore_ssl_certs_choices[] = {
    ComboItem (N_("Never"), 0),               // (DEFAULT) - PERFORM FULL SSL CERT. CHECKS ON HTTPS STREAMS.
    ComboItem (N_("Untrusted"), 1),           // (WINDOWS DEFAULT) CHECK BUT ALLOW UNTRUSTED CERTS. (M$ WINDOWS SEEMS TO NEED)?
    ComboItem (N_("All checks (risky!)"), 2)  // SKIP ALL SSL VALIDATION (RISKY) USER MUST TRUST STREAMING SITES!
};
...
const char * const NeonTransport::defaults[] = {
...
#ifdef _WIN32
    "ignore_ssl_certs", 1,  // WINDOWS DOESN'T USE SSL_CERT_* ENV. VARS & THUS CAN'T FIND CERTS?!
#else
    "ignore_ssl_certs", 0,
#endif
...
    nullptr
};

cert_verification.cc (Added for video play, but https audio streams have same issue - at the time most were not https, but now more and more are!):

int neon_vfs_verify_environment_ssl_certs (void * userdata, int failures,
 const ne_ssl_certificate * serverCert)
{
    /* JWT:ADDED FOR Youtube / Vimeo PLAY ON WINDOWS, SINCE WINDOWS SEEMS TO CHECK & NOT TRUST CERT. ISSUER?! */
    int ignore_ssl_certs = aud_get_int ("neon", "ignore_ssl_certs");
    if (ignore_ssl_certs == 2)
        return 0;
    else if (ignore_ssl_certs == 1)
        return failures & ~NE_SSL_UNTRUSTED;

    // First check the certificate file, if we have one.
    ...

Jim - are you talking about the same error here? Do you also see "Unknown URI scheme"?

I'm aware of the missing-certificates issue on Windows, but that's #1108, and should result in a different error message. "Unknown URI scheme" should only be seen if the neon plugin is disabled or failed to load.

I would assume so, the error-dialog image in the bug is in a foreign language. I just booted up in Windows(7), typed this url into Fauxdacious & it's aplayin' away!

"Onbekend URI-schema" translates to "Unknown URI scheme" (according to Google Translate).

Jim, what is the exact error message that you see?
