Hi everybody,

I did a first thread that has been closed because of Rule Violation. Very sorry for that, I had a preinstalled / configured version of Kodi on a Box and I reinstalled the same setup on my Windows for testing purpose. The following description is then true for Windows and Android (I cleaned the Android one and did the same tests).

I am then back to stock versions of Kodi.

Here is my problems:

Problem 1
- I tried to setup a Sock5 Proxy but that does not work. Steps:
1/ System Settings > Internet Access
2/ Setup my proxy in Sock5
3/ Restart Kodi
4/ Go to web viewer (I have installed that programm addon)
5/ Open api.ipify.org => My ISP IP

Logs with proxy url masked: https://pastebin.com/9iUWEgHq


- I Did the same with the same Proxy but in HTTP
1/ System Settings > Internet Access
2/ Setup my proxy in HTTP
3/ Restart Kodi
4/ Go to web viewer (I have installed that programm addon)
5/ Open api.ipify.org => Proxy IP, Great !

Logs with proxy url masked: https://pastebin.com/uGThbh7z


Summary: I noticed that you can put anything in sock5 proxy, that'll never block your connection. But in HTTP if your proxy is wrong that does not work. So for me only http is taken into account.

Logs, proxy not masked (Using proxy anonexistingproxy.foo, type 5) : https://pastebin.com/mgYXmSK4


Problem 2
- I wanted to get the logs so I did "Enable debug logging" and the path given does ... not exist (c:\Users\man3uuu\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\Kodi.log) as I am using the Windows Store version, I did a search and found the logs there : C:\Users\man3uuu\AppData\Local\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi



Thanks !

Problem 2 isn't a problem. It's where is supposed to be - log locations (wiki)

Hi & Thanks for your quick reply

I am talking about what the debug says inside Kodi, not about where I was looking for ...

There is a window that opens, a kind of overlay, when you enable the debbuging log. This is where the path is not correct.

Have a nice end of day

Hi

Somebody ?

Thanks !

Hi I am back on this thread,

After multiple tests, I believe the problem comes from application that don't use the proxy .... such as the web viewer ... So actually we'll never know what uses the proxy and what doesn't (from my point of view).

Am I wrong ?

Thanks

I'm curious how to get this working also. I'm on PIA myself. I'll be watching to see if there are any replies to your posts.
