Proxy or Socks Server support?

[Telet]

Do Proxy Server or Socks Server work in Windows?
I tried but not work for me. It every use default connection.
Again, in Input/Codecs -> Access modules -> HTTP(S) there is no option to put proxy and port; only "auto-reconnect".
Also it not work if i try to use ForceBindIP64 to bind to a network interface.

SOCKS proxying is only supported for some protocols.

HTTP proxying is supported for HTTP(S).

Why HTTP(S) proxy server not work for me?
in Input/Codecs -> Access modules -> HTTP(S) there is no option to put proxy and port; only "auto-reconnect".
also command line not work
--http-proxy=my.companys.proxy.com:8080
Do it is Proxy Server supported in window?

It does not work because you did not set it in the network settings within the input preferences (or did not restart VLC).

Hi,

I feel this is a BUG. In the Windows platform:

- When configuring in PREFERENCES section the HTTP-PROXY it works! Ex.: "http://my.companys.proxy.com:8080/"
- When using the COMMAND LINE "--http-proxy" it connects without the proxy! Ex.: "vlc.exe --http-proxy=http://my.companys.proxy.com:8080 http://server/file.mp4"

So, when using the command line the proxy isn't used if it's empty in the preferences. Any way to solve it?
Futhermore, if I change "--http-proxy" with "--https-proxy" I get an error. So the command line parser is not the problem.

Any idea?

Some settings only work globally / from preferences, and that's one of them.
