how to configure youtebe-dl when using PAC on windows 7

[zhpower]

hi,
I use a PAC file on windows 7 to access the internet.
I try the command "youtube-dl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:16823/adf.pac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByVPaqN9594" to download some files. but it failed.
i'm not sure if it' correct to set parameter. Could you help me?
Thanks.

PAC is not supported in youtube-dl.

[shengdie]

Yes, please. Really need PAC be supported.

I have an experimental PAC support at https://github.com/yan12125/youtube-dl/tree/proxy-auto-config-support. There are some limitations in this version:

1. SOCKS proxies are not supported yet
2. You need to install python-pacparser
3. Only PAC URLs are supported. Local PAC files are in TODO.

How do I use this and is this experiment already implemented in the Windows binary?

[yan12125]

It's not integrated into Windows binaries yet. The following steps should work:

1. Install Python 2.7 or Python 3.4
2. Download https://github.com/yan12125/youtube-dl/archive/proxy-auto-config-support.zip and extract
3. Install python-pacparser from https://github.com/pacparser/pacparser/releases
4. youtube-dl --pac-url <the PAC url> <the video URL>

What's the matter?What should I configure the authentication?

Hmm two people encounter the same error, see #11447
