Closed robertknight closed 1 month ago

Add a YOUTUBE_PROXY environment variable which specifies a proxy service to use when fetching caption tracks/transcripts from YouTube.

The format of this variable should be an argument that can be used with the proxies argument to requests.post, eg. "http://proxy_user:proxy_pass@proxy_host:port".

Testing: Set the YOUTUBE_PROXY environment variable before starting the service. See Slack thread for details.
