If I want use socks5 , what I must put in config file?

from ytdownloader.

Example
—proxy socks5://user:[email protected]:1080/

from ytdownloader.

Example —proxy socks5://user:[email protected]:1080/

config file does not work m because I get connection time out error

from ytdownloader.

You're likely doing something wrong, for example I used a public socks5 proxy from here,
so my config file looked like this

--proxy socks5://142.54.228.193:4145

And it worked without any problem

Well that means likely something is wrong with your proxy. If you are using a public proxy, I may try it, otherwise I cant help
