Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Proxy configuration is not working properly. Proxy have user name and password

[dstftw]

--proxy must be in format USR:PSSWRD@XXX.yyy.org:PORT. PAC is not supported.

[dmelladom]

Thanks for the feedback, but I can't find the combination.
None of these worked:
youtube-dl --proxy http://USR:PSSWD@XXX.yyy.org:PORT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o-YJSZTMVk
youtube-dl --proxy USR:PSSWD@http://XXX.yyy.org:PORT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o-YJSZTMVk
youtube-dl --proxy USR:PSSWD@XXX.yyy.org:PORT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o-YJSZTMVk

If .pac is not supported, then I can go through this proxy?

Sorry for the inconvenience.
