I encountered this error trying to use the 9Now addon:

This is usually due to an old version of Kodi. Please upgrade to Kodi v17 or later.I am running Kodi 18.8 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, so not due to an old version...
I did a bit of googling and came across this post on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63349178
Based on that suggestion I added the following lines to ~/.kodi/addons/script.module.aussieaddonscommon/lib/aussieaddonscommon/session.py and restarted Kodi.
import urllib3
requests.packages.urllib3.util.ssl_.DEFAULT_CIPHERS = 'ALL:@SECLEVEL=1'
Lo and behold, the 9Now addon worked perfectly!
I'm not sure if this is the proper solution to the problem, but hopefully it can at least lead you down the right path.
Cheers!
