Tommasso, go to the thread that I started in the Windows-section, there are now further instructions from a developer:xceno, yes it works this way but takes a bit of time. For the time being it will do. A solution probably comes soon I hope. Thanks for your "accident"
MAC Sierra here
"iHex" is a free hex editor suitable for the job, available in the Mac App Store.OpenSubtitles.org has apparently updated their servers. That uncovered latent bugs in the very dumb HTTP support of the VLSub extension.
To work around the problem (you might need administrator privileges):
Go to the VLC installation directory.
Look for the file named lua/extensions/VLSub.luac.
Open that file in a binary or hexadecimal editor. (DO NOT USE a text editor.)
Look for the character sequence "HTTP/1.1" (without quotes).
Replace the last one by a zero: "HTTP/1.0".
Repeat the procedure; there should be a second occurence in the file.
Save the file.
(Re)start VLC.
Web site is unsafe and safari doesn't allow downloads nor visitsFor those who are overwhelmed by the process, here is the patched VLSub.luac (I made it version 9.9.13 to differentiate it from official versions):

GreatThank you xceno22! The process explained by Rami does indeed work for Mac too.
Not a surprise there, it was just the first found by Google...Web site is unsafe and safari doesn't allow downloads nor visitsFor those who are overwhelmed by the process, here is the patched VLSub.luac (I made it version 9.9.13 to differentiate it from official versions):

Edit:
You can download the modified VLSub.luac from the VLC bug report here:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/17566
Another temporary fix is to edit Operating System's hosts file as described here:
