[Metadata Source Plugin] Evrit - Page 2

I tested it locally and I have no such issues. I even managed to get metadata for the exact same book (העי"ג) from your log.

The CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error you're getting might be caused by VPNs. See for example this thread:

Thanks again. This is strange because I don't have issues with other metadata providers (Goodreads, Amazon etc.), but of course I use these to search metadata for English books, not Hebrew. I haven't made any changes to my network connection and I'm not using VPN. But I did try on another machine in my network and got the same error. I should mention that the plugin did work for me before, I think it had stopped working for me since the latest Calibre update (7.1).
I guess I'll have to keep investigating, but I'd appreciate any advice you might have to give.

So I wanted to make sure that I don't have a MITM (Man In The Middle) issue, because I saw other posts where it was mentioned as a potential cause for the problem with OpenSSL. I completely reset the PC I had Calibre installed on, and re-installed Windows. The first program I installed after that was Calibre. I then downloaded this plugin and tried again to get metadata. To my surprise I got the same error, but this time all other plugins were not returning any metadata either, for the same reason. I recalled that one forum user mentioned that they had luck after opening and closing Chrome, so I installed chrome and did that, and that helped with the other plugins (Amazon, Google, Goodreads) but not this plugin.
I'm not sure why this happens, I even tried connecting via a different network (mobile hotspot). I hope someone who reads this might have a clue as to what I could do to resolve this because I am at a loss.
