[aandrew-me]

Hello

Create a text file, put the proxy test in it, like --proxy http://localhost:8080, then select the file from Preferences -

[mfaridi1394]

--proxy http://localhost:8080

Thanks
If I want use socks5 , what I must put in config file?

[aandrew-me]

Example
—proxy socks5://user:pass@127.0.0.1:1080/

[mfaridi1394]

Example —proxy socks5://user:pass@127.0.0.1:1080/

config file does not work m because I get connection time out error

[aandrew-me]

You're likely doing something wrong, for example I used a public socks5 proxy from here,
so my config file looked like this

--proxy socks5://142.54.228.193:4145

And it worked without any problem

I got this error
`
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb5oYkF3bI8

	ERROR: [youtube] nb5oYkF3bI8: Unable to download API page: (, 'Connection to www.youtube.com timed out. (connect timeout=20.0)') (caused by TransportError("(, 'Connection to www.youtube.com timed out. (connect timeout=20.0)')"))

Well that means likely something is wrong with your proxy. If you are using a public proxy, I may try it, otherwise I cant help

I set this proxy on another application and work like charm

[aandrew-me]

Did you try accessing YouTube with your proxy?

I have another program for download from youtube and I set this proxy on it and work

How does your config file look like?

How does your config file look like? (Remove sensitive details)

Hostname/IP:127.0.0.1
Port: 8080
ProxyType: Socks5 Proxy

[aandrew-me]

So your config file should look like this, if it is how you mentioned

--proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:8080

I set this but I get timeout error

[aandrew-me]

Hm ok I am taking a look at the issue

[aandrew-me]

Hm I think I know your problem, you have to wait till the next update :(
Thanks for creating the issue

[aandrew-me]

It should work after next update. Then use this in config file

--no-check-certificate --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:8080

[mfaridi1394]

--no-check-certificate --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:8080

OK, thanks I will wait for your next update

[aandrew-me]

Update will be available today, soon

[aandrew-me]

And I will likely add a proper proxy option in settings too later

[mfaridi1394]

And I will likely add a proper proxy option in settings too later
