--proxy option does not work with [crunchyroll] #26456

I tried the above download from a computer connected to the Internet on a different ISP, and the download worked without problems in youtube-dl. |

I tried with youtube-dl version 2020.03.01. This produces a different error:
So there is definitely something going on with how the proxy is handled. In the above, at least it is trying to use the proxy, but it appears it does not parse the user name and password correctly, or at all. My password has no symbols in it (only letters and numbers), the only symbol is the @ in the email, but using %40 has worked with youtube-dl in the past. |

I have finally gotten it to work using SOCKS5 and cookies.txt exported from Chrome after playing the video in the browser:
However, the above line only works "sometimes". If I move the successful download and try the above line again, sometimes I get:
Other times I get the 403: Forbidden error. If I just keep trying and trying again, eventually it works. I get no such problems in a browser. |

Description
I appear to be IP banned from Crunchyroll. That's strange as this is the first time I ever visited the web site. My IP must be in a banned range.
So I can use a proxy to get around this. NordVPN works via HTTPS in Chrome on port 89. TorGuard also works via HTTP in Chrome on port 6060. No problems.
But, youtube-dl appears to not be using the proxy at all, even though the switch was specified.
