not using yt-dlp proxy setup?

--proxy http://192.168.6.166:8888/

As above, I can use yt-dlp in terminal without specify the proxy url in command line.
But when in GUI videomass, it call yt-dlp, is not using the proxy url in config file.

Is it a bug?

Sorry for the late reply.

No, it is the default behavior of yt-dlp when used as a Python module. So if you use yt-dlp from the command line it will be able to read its configuration file, not if you use its Python module.
So to have a certain feature (for example use a proxy), it must first be implemented in the Videomass GUI.

so the GUI Interface Proxy Configuration is a new feature waiting to be implemented?

For now, only use proxychains to call the AppImage will work in Linux if have to use a proxy.

Exactly, but since tools like proxychains exist, the priority of this feature is secondary for now.

Hi @LeisureLinux ,
I'm trying to implement the ability to use a proxy on Videomass. But I would also need your help to test how it works. Would you be willing to collaborate to make this implementation possible?
