Problem Description

I am trying to replicate the following use:

/home/kreyren/.guix-profile/bin/torsocks /home/kreyren/.guix-profile/bin/mpv --ytdl-format="bestvideo[height=?720][fps<=?30][vcodec!=?vp9]+bestaudio/best" youtube-video-here

With the intention to watch youtube videos on a reasonable bitrate through mpv that uses tor due to ffmpeg

Take note that SOCKS proxies aren't supported and https URLs also bypass the proxy. This is a limitation in FFmpeg. -- mpv irc channel

.. torsocks has to be used, but:

Does not launch the video and i dunno how to diagnose it -> help?

Proposed Solution

Manage the FFMPEG issue through implementing a way to use torsocks?

Alternatives Considered

none

Issue Labels
