Outbound Proxy

[Blob 7]

Hi,

 

Does anybody know how to force emby FFmpeg to include the parameter http_proxy when starting ffmpeg.exe process?

I would like to proxy outbound connections from uncommented reasons   

Windows IE settings do not apply - only for the Emby process it seems.

 

I am starting to test with other solutions on the OS level.

The FFmpeg process runs under the user that starts the Emby Server Service.

I have allready tried this on Server 2016:

netsh winhttp (does not work)

SET http_proxy (does not exist in 2016)

The application called Proxifier: Trial version testet ok, but not as a service and have a price tag after 31 days.

 

 

 

Thanks

Ffmpeg level is not the right place to handle it because what happens when ffmpeg is not used? I think os level outside of emby is best.

Seems to be the right conclusion.

As bonus info: Even though “Proxifier” does not run as a service, it can make rules of which proxy server to use or not, based on destination/location of for example a host hosting a m3u file.
