Expected Behavior

the program will start working stably, but with a proxy, not physical and not my real ip

Actual Behavior

the program does not load in any way, even without a username and password, even if i change socks5 to html

Enabled plugins

nope, i didnt enable anything

yes, I'm sorry, wrote it by mistake

[ArjixWasTaken]

We rely on electron's proxy-server command line option.

But electron does not do anything different from chromium, so their documentation looks wrong. Chromium's command line options for proxies shows --proxy-server="http=foopy:80;ftp=foopy2" as an example.

That'd mean you have to input http=foopy:80 as the proxy (to only proxy http requests), or just foopy:80 (to proxy all requests). Have you been inputting the value in any of the above formats? If not please try it like that

[vleky]

I'm trying to enter a proxy like this: at the top of the program "settings" - "advanced settings" - "set proxy", but the pop-up window requires input in the format "http://ip:port " or "socks5://ip:port"

[ArjixWasTaken]

I see that neither works. Even when I manually edit the config to force a different format, it doesn't work.

I'll investigate it for a bit

[vleky]

Well, I'm certainly waiting for your answer!

[ArjixWasTaken]

ok so, manually edit the config

and set your proxy like this

with the http= in front

Save the file, and restart youtube music. Does it work then?

That is an anonymous free proxy I found online, so I won't censor it.

[ArjixWasTaken]

I hid my comment since it didn't actually solve the issue. the http= applied the proxy only on http:// and not https:// requests.

changing it to https= has the same issue

[vleky]

the proxy function is working, but if I choose even the closest and most accessible proxy (10-20 ms), the program loads for a very long time. there is a playback bar at the bottom, a search at the top, it is there, but no albums, no tracks, no profile, nothing is loaded

[vleky]

i will try to reinstall YTM app, maybe it give some results

[vleky]

no, nothing changed

I disagree, solve this problem, and does not say that it is a duplicate. this is a duplicate of a problem that was sent to websites to solve, where there is still no solution.

"Duplicate" does not mean the problem is solved.

Also, Chromium does not support authenticated proxies, which is why that issue remains open.
