If you are like me and decided to stay on Jarvis (16.1), you likely noticed that subscene doesn't work anymore for finding subs. After digging around, I found this page on the addon thread:

Looks like the problem is caused by Kodi running a version of python that is too old (2.7.8), and the minimum required at this point is 2.7.9 for SSL to work. So here is how to fix it on windows:
1 - Backup your python27.dll and python27.pdb under your kodi install folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi)
2 - Backup the python DLLs and lib folder, usually under C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\system\python
3 - download python 2.7.9 and the pdb files:
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/...-2.7.9.msi
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/....9-pdb.zip
4 - Install python somewhere (like c:\python)
5 - Unzip the python pdb somewhere
6 - copy python27.dll from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 to the kodi folder mentioned above
7 - copy python27.pdb from where you extracted it, to the kodi folder above
8 - clean up C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\system\python
9 - copy the DLLs and lib folder from c:\python (you extracted) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\system\python
That's it! Start Kodi again, and subscene should work again! :-)
