I try to find the boxes to fill in proxy server address and port number but I don't see it on the access modules/ HTTP(S) settings only a box to check with forward cookies.

Someone can help me out?

I also can't seem to specify an http proxy via the command line like I used to

--http-proxy=...

agree. The settings is gone from the GUI (input/http) and cli says:
"Warning: option --http-proxy no longer exists."

I *really* hope they haven't started using osx system proxy settings. That would be less than ideal ...

I've just ran into this issue. I've just updated to 3.0.2 - issue still persists (HTTP settings are nearly blank, one option, no proxy info).

The behavior I observe is that I must disable my system proxy to have VLC go direct (i.e. it IS using system proxy). I tried to add exceptions to the proxy config, but VLC doesn't seem to honor these (counter example: minecraft DOES honor the exceptions properly). When I disable my system proxy - VLC works as expected.

I would prefer something akin to Java or Firefox options - that is something like:

No proxy (direct)
System proxy
Custom proxy

Should I open a trac ticket for this ?

Thanks.

just use the http_proxy environment variable:

Code: Select all

$ export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128
$ export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128
$ vlc

this didn't work for me on osx ...

export http_proxy=http://192.168.23.254:3128
export https_proxy=http://192.168.23.254:3128

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC

no go.

proxy works fine:

telnet 192.168.23.254 3128
