Add socks5 proxy configuration

[s0rau]

Can you add proxy SOCKS5 support in order to bypass "Sign in you're not a bot"
I mean in settings user can configure proxy by setting these variables : username, password, hostname and port ?

[lekma]

I'll have a look...

[lekma]

can you test master and report, please?

[s0rau]

Here's raw logs :
https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/49cac7a6

[lekma]

does it work? or not? (I cannot access the logs)

[s0rau]

Yes the link expired..
It does not, but it may dues to instance.
I'll have another test and directly paste logs here.

If invidious instance are off, is that possible to bypass invidious by directly fetch videos behind youtube with proxy SOCKS5 without using plugin.video.youtube which is using an account ?

[lekma]

you are confusing me

there should be a setting in the plugin (in Interface iirc) that should allow you to play videos directly from youtube, but you still need a working instance of invidious to generate all the listings (right now as it happens it is also broken because ytdlp).

all that has nothing to do with socks5 proxy, did you really had a use case for those?

anyway, if you explore my repo there is another red addon (also broken right now because ytdlp is broken (should be fixed soon (I hope)))
