Is there any plans to add socks proxy support directly into plugin? I don't want to proxy whole xbmc or whole system
edit:
It seems that settings "Use an HTTP proxy server to access the internet" with SOCK5 proxy doesn't affect plugin calls.
I believe adding socket support is super-easy - I get it working using only 3 LOC added right after "import socket"
As I'm not a Pyhton programmer, so I don't want to add shit-code into main branch - could someone who know XBMC & Python add support for SOCKS proxy in this plugin (with proper exception handling and option in settings)? It looks like 10-minutes job.
edit2:
Is it normal that navigation is painfully slow? Sometimes I need to wait for about 40-60 seconds to get movies list.
Why can't we use eg. Apple TV or Roku API keys? It's agains EULA ofc but who cares in this case

Code:
import socks
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, 'socks proxy ip or host', socks proxy port)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
