The app incorrectly interprets a SOCKS proxy as an HTTP proxy. The host machine has both kinds of proxies configured for Tor as follows: * SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050 * HTTP proxy listening on port 8118 This is the result of an attempt to use the socks5h:// scheme: ===8<---------------------------------------- $ yt-dlp --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 --max-filesize 1M http://ng27owmagn5amdm7l5s3rsqxwscl5ynppnis5dqcasogkyxcfqn7psid.onion/watch?v=-Zj50DmBFp0 [youtube] Extracting URL: http://ng27owmagn5amdm7l5s3rsqxwscl5ynppnis5dqcasogkyxcfqn7psid.onion/watch?v=-Zj50DmBFp0 [youtube] -Zj50DmBFp0: Downloading webpage WARNING: [youtube] Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error Tunnel connection failed: 501 Tor is not an HTTP Proxy> [youtube] -Zj50DmBFp0: Downloading android player API JSON WARNING: [youtube] <urlopen error Tunnel connection failed: 501 Tor is not an HTTP Proxy>.

The user never claimed Tor to *be* an HTTP proxy. Proxies are wholly independent of Tor and should be treated genericly. yt-dlp is trying to be smart in working out that an onion URL implies Tor, but really all it needs to know is that the “h” in SOCKS5h means to make the proxy handle the DNS resolution. Workaround: Supplying --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8118 works for me because I happen to have an HTTP proxy configured as well. But the man page explicitly states that both socks and http proxies are supported. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-28-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages yt-dlp depends on: ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 ii python3-brotli 1.0.9-2+b6 ii python3-certifi 2022.9.24-1 ii python3-mutagen 1.46.0-1 ii python3-pkg-resources 66.1.1-1 ii python3-pycryptodome 3.11.0+dfsg1-4 ii python3-websockets 10.4-1 Versions of packages yt-dlp recommends: ii aria2 1.36.0-1 ii ca-certificates 20230311 ii curl 7.88.1-10+deb12u5 ii ffmpeg 7:5.1.4-0+deb12u1 ii python3-pyxattr 0.8.1-1 ii rtmpdump 2.4+20151223.gitfa8646d.1-2+b2 ii wget 1.21.3-1+b2 Versions of packages yt-dlp suggests: pn libfribidi-bin | bidiv <none> ii mpv 0.35.1-4 pn phantomjs <none> -- no debconf information
