Add proxy support

[awohsen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Since I can't connect to many platforms because of censorship, I always use the proxy settings; but IDK where to implement them here!

I kind of have no idea how proxy works because I never had to use it. If anyone of you are experienced with proxy & flutter please share

https://github.com/Sangwan5688/BlackHole/search?q=proxy&type=commits, but this is http proxy only, while many users would prefer a socks one

Disclamer: I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm not familiar with flutter I've made a spotube-socks5 demo, it has hardcoded local socks5 proxy. I have no idea how to add a settings menu for proxy, so I'll just leave it here in hopes that this would help. I works globally within the app.

Package used: flutter_socks_proxy [MIT license]

For Linux users, there is an option to run spotube using proxychains tool and it will tunnel the application through a custom proxy

Sorry bro.. Forgot to add this feature request to Todo

[Be1zebub]

spotify has left my country, so im w8 so much for proxy support in spotube

its easy to implement proxy via http CONNECT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_tunnel#HTTP_CONNECT_tunneling idk dart lang, but there is a pseudocode example:

function http.proxyRequest(proxy, request)
	connection = http.connect(proxy.host, proxy.port, proxy.tls)

	connection.write("CONNECT", {
		["Host"] = request.host,
		["Proxy-Authorization"] = proxy.credentials
	})

	response = connection.read()

	if response and response.code == 200 then
		connection.host = request.host
		connection.port = request.port
		connection.tls = request.tls

		connection.write(request.method, request.headers, request.body)

		return connection.read()
	else
		retry with another proxy...
	end
end

hi thanks for write this application please if it possible set upper priority for this option in many country spotify is block thanks

[KRTirtho]

I'd love to add this feature but I'm just not sure how to approach it. Looking for an expert on this topic for months :)

[KRTirtho]

I think this is no longer required/valid as Spotube now uses piped API which is accessible globally

If the default server API (kavin.rocks) is not available in your region you can change it from "Settings" > "Piped Server Instance" selector You can find which server is closer to your region in Piped Wiki

[Be1zebub]

i have no "Piped Server Instance" in settings, is this feature released?

screenshots

[KRTirtho]

It's available in nightly release

[Be1zebub]

login is not proxied
ok, then I tried to login with my http proxy server - i got 403 (login in browser spotify app works ok) seems like when i try with my own proxy spotube login button still opens https://www.spotify.com/int/why-not-available/ because in browser when proxy enabled on this page i got 403 too, like in spotube login i think its cached?

[mohammadrafigh]

Please allow using a custom Piped instance like how Libretube handles that.

[spl3g]

I have the 403 issue too, maybe you can make that the login instance opens in the default browser. Idk if it's possible but i think that it would solve the problem

[Be1zebub]

"login instance opens in the default browser" - yep this would allow to proxy browser http requests and pass the login stage, rn the application is just useless in countries where spotify left :(

[spl3g]

Or it will be great to give a choice between the in app browser and the cookie method (like in the pc version).

Piped Server Instance

I can't access github in my region, reading the online Piped Server Instance fails.😂

As well as I can build my own piped server, hopefully I can customize the input server address.

[KRTirtho]

Dang it. I should've thought of it earlier. I'll provide some default server list and also a field to manually add a Piped instance url

[mohammadrafigh]

@KRTirtho I noticed that even if we use a custom Piped instance Spotube fetches playlists and track info from Spotify which is also blocked in many countries and the Spotube is not able to fetch those data so the app won't work at all. Maybe there should be some sort of local caching at least for user playlists, So without any proxy we can play our own playlists using a custom piped instance.

I'm thinking of better solutions to handle that, maybe something like piped API but just to fetch info and playlists from Spotify.

You can use VPN probably

Probably check if the proxy is selected and check if the proxy is accessible, then another check if proxy is enabled and is accessible use it for query and download

[rockxsj]

It seems the http client limit on dart, maybe we can try some solution from https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/26359

[LiZhenchong]

You can use the terminal proxy

export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:$port;export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:$port;export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:$port

, then open spotube application in terminal

/Applications/spotube.app/Contents/MacOS/spotube

don't close termainal.

 nohup /Applications/spotube.app/Contents/MacOS/spotube &

it is work well under windows

It works very well, thanks!

Is there any progress now? I am a Windows user/
