Okay... Did some troubleshooting and I think openelec/kodi is missing some SSL/TLS features:
https://gist.github.com/TvL2386/32bcc6d1...e1-txt-L19

I modded the geturl method in /storage/.kodi/addons/service.subtitles.subscene/resources/lib/SubsceneUtilities.py (line 105) for debugging:
except ValueError as e:
log(__name__, e)
Instead of:
except:

Doing `curl https://subscene.com` works, so I am thinking it has something to do with python and SSL...
To be continued.

Thanks for looking into it! Let us know if you find a solution please... subscene is so much better than opensubtitles.

Are you all on kodi 17.3 ?

[tvl2386]

I have kodi 15.2...

I've patched SubsceneUtilities.py very ugly so I have search results again... But downloading doesn't work yet.
I thought geturl() was used everywhere but service.py has a download() function that also does https calls.

Maybe I should update openelec/kodi first ^^

EDIT: Gonna reinstall my RPI2 with OSMC and newest kodi I think

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know: I've reinstalled my rpi2 with OSMC just now and it came with Kodi 17.3.
I've installed the subscene plugin (version 1.7.1) and downloading subs works great again.

Hi CrowleyAJ,

I read that you are very busy and lacking time to continue development of this plugin. I'm a great fan of it and I was wondering if I could be of assistance.
I already forked your repo but I don't know what the problems/feature requests are at the moment. Maybe it's a good idea to enable the "Issues" on github so it's easy to keep track of them?

So it just doesn't work on old kodi versions?

Hey rpgmaker,

I don't think that is the case. The problem here was that python version 2.7.3 on my OpenElec with kodi 15.2 was not supporting SNI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication).
Since subscene seems to use that (nowadays), this old version of python was unable to succesfully establish an https connection with subscene. Upgrading packages on openelec, or building your own seems to be quite a hassle.

Long story short: It's not kodi, it's python.

The solution is to get a python version that supports SNI (python version >= 2.7.9).
The way I obtained it was by reinstalling my raspberry pi2 with OSMC which has Kodi 17.3.

osmc@osmc:~$ python --version
Python 2.7.9

Thanks. I don't think I want to hassle with this android box more than I already have but this is one good reason to do so again in the future so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

I had the same problem on windows, here is how to replace python to get it working again (if you want to stay on Jarvis):

 Hi @tvl2386, did you had a answer from CrowleyAJ ? Were you able to fork the plugin and finaly get a litst of known bugs ? I'd really interested.
Just to mention, I found another (?) plugin for subscene.com here: https://github.com/hbiyik/service.subtitles.subscene. I opened a bug to ask him to write a little README to help understand if it's a totaly new plugin or forked from somewhere.

 Hi brunetton! No I've never received an answer. I did fork it on github, because I was curious if I could fix it, but it wasn't a code problem. It was the outdated python version.

I'm not sure if there currently are any issues. I'm not having any. It works great

[brunetton]

Thanks for your reply. Could you send me the repo url ? It could be interesting to have a place for code and bugs

 Hi brunetton! The original repo is here: https://github.com/manacker/service.subtitles.subscene
I just forked it but haven't committed anything (https://github.com/TvL2386/service.subtitles.subscene). 
I enabled "Issues", so they can be filed on my fork if you wish
