[Feature Request] Proxy

[WeAreLiving1984]

Can't use invidious without a proxy all public instances are blocked for me. Unless I host my own invidious instances I can use this app.

Can proxy be added via flag or config option? I specifically need socks5 proxy if that matters.

I'll see what I can do, thanks

[WeAreLiving1984]

Thanks for adding this. Now it takes a couple a seconds to search with my proxy but it DOES work! Unfortunately after selecting video on fzf mpv never opens, not sure if it's related to this. I also used debug level logging but ytui didn't print anything.

Oh wait scratch that. It took several minutes but now has mpv started!

I need to try different proxy and invidious instance.

[Banh-Canh]

ahh i'll take a look, opening it back for now, should have tested more sorry

[Banh-Canh]

actually it does work through a proxy, mpv start

but fyi any query to youtube official API doesn't go through the proxy, only query that go to invidious

Yeah it starts after several minutes #40 (comment)

Could be part of this mpv-player/mpv#3373 😔

Without a proxy YouTube is throttled to the oblivion for me.

i'm unsure i can make mpv run youtube video through invidious easily, i'll take a look

can you actually stream youtube video through a invidious instance on your browser ? unfortunately i don't think i can do much here

[WeAreLiving1984]

I can't open any public instance (haven't tried private because I'm unaware of any) without proxy or vpn.
Some instances give me this error: "Please sign in" when I try to play video I searched for and when I try to create an account it gives me another error.

One instance works fine but then again I always have proxy running for that instance and youtube domains.
