Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hi

When using socks proxy for youtube-dl and then using aria2c as downloader, it seems youtube-dl passes wrong argument to aria2c, as we can see from log, aria2c complains about --all-proxy argument that is automatically passed by youtube-dl, AFAIK aria2 does not support socks proxy, but youtube-dl automatically passes option like "--all-proxy 'socks5://ip:port'".
So we get unrecognized proxy format error
And shouldn't be --all-proxy= with the equal sign?

Please note that I've manually entered the correct argument to aria2 in command line, "--external-downloader-args '--all-proxy=http://192.168.1.1:8118'", but same argument automatically placed by youtube-dl overrides it

I someone could take a look, I would appreciate it.

[dstftw]

This is expected behavior.

[Tony-il-Capo]

So, we can't use aria2 downloader when using a socks proxy for youtube-dl??

[dstftw]

Use http proxy for both.

[Tony-il-Capo]

OK, I will try that, thanks.

[dstftw]

Note that you should not mix --all-proxy with --proxy.
