Can I add HTTP proxy in python-vlc?

[Darcy-C]

I found a HTTP proxy option in VLC, but I do not know how to set that in python-vlc. Is there any docs about setting proxy?

Thank you very much.

There is no proxy-related option in libvlc per se, but it should use the http_proxy environment variable if it is set. So you can import os ; os.environ['http_proxy'] = 'http://whatever/' before instanciating libvlc.

Thank you for your reply. It seems like not working when adding the lines you mentioned. (It seems like libvlc are not using python environ value)

Try setting the proxy from the command line, like

env http_proxy='http://whatever...' python vlc.py ...

Or perhaps use capitals like env HTTP_PROXY=....

Thank you for your reply. It does not work. I thought it would be very hard to put a proxy setting to a third party library :c

Yes. If you are using pyqt, QtWebEngineWidgets is an option, which is just a browser, you can use web technology directly. I think it will fit your need very well.

maybe python-mpv was a nice opiton! I have test it with proxy.

The only way is to use the config file. --http-proxy command line option doesn't work, maybe because it is grabbed directly from config. Works for windows only though, in other systems VLC relies on OS proxy settings.
