Can I set proxy for install emby server plugin?

[fcymk2 2]

Because of network problems(china gfw), I can't install emby server plugin.

Can I set proxy for install emby server plugin?

Or provide the address of the plugin repository, may be I can add some proxy into my router..

Can you do it at the operating system level?

I had try to set   http_proxy and https_proxy, but it can not effect.

export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:4411                                                                                                                                                                                         

export https_proxy=$http_proxy

At some point we should start hosting the plugins somewhere else.

noop, still cannot access plugin catalogs within china(GFW), besides, the metadata scrabber is recently blocked too, so the no more movie/tv meta data can be automatically scrabbed any more

Use latest docker version. set proxy in docker,  the metadata scrabber can use proxy.

docker-compose file

```

    environment:

      - http_proxy=http://192.168.1.9:4412

      - https_proxy=http://192.168.1.9:4412

```

 

```

Found another way to solve this problem.

Because the server is maintained and managed by Systemd. Thus configue the process itself might be helpful.

For CentOS7, installed emby-server by yum. Edit  /etc/emby-server.conf and add the code below:

HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:10809
HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:10809

then, 
 

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart emby-server

to apply changes.

Maybe this is already in the documentation and I missed it, but I would think this is something we could promote the hell out of. 

 

It's hugely helpful to know that the application needs the proxy information in it's config file.

 

P.S. - Emby is baller as hell and appreciated!
