1. right click the "VLC media player" icon on your desktop
2. Properties
3. add the following to the Target (outside of the quotes)
--http-proxy=my.proxy.com:80804. Apply
5. Ok.
NOTE: there should be a space between the Target and the "--http-proxy=my.proxy.com:8080" Mine looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --http-proxy=my.companys.proxy.com:8080Or if you like the command line, try:
vlc.exe http://my.video.com/some/random/stream.avi --http-proxy=my.proxy.com:8080Hope that helps.

Cool :) It works. Thanks!
Thanks for this - great tip. Spent hours wading through tonnes of rubbish before this worked perfectly.
Works fine, thanks!!
Thank you very much for this helpful tip.
i need to login to my proxy, whats the syntax to add those details?
--http-proxy=<string>
HTTP proxy to be used It must be of the form http://[user@]myproxy.com:myport/
--http-proxy-pwd=<string>
Thanks for this tip.
Worked well for me, I used the following to work with my proxy:
--http-proxy=username:password@my.proxy.com:8080
Cheers =)
Thanx - this really was helpful!
But how to set a username with space like
--http-proxy=http://foo bar@myproxy.mydomain.com
?
Thx in advance.
vsingleton.blogspot.com; You saved my day again.
hi, can anyone tell me what does this command do??
thanks a lot
Google put me there and... thank you for solving my problem! :)
Hi also via google big thank's...
...or open VLC->Preferences->Input&Codecs and in the field proxy type this:
http://user:pass@your.proxy.com:
thank you
if i'm using a proxy software like freegate and such, how should i do it? bcause in my web browser, the http proxy part is only replaced with "localhost" and the port is configured with the port given by the software. hope u can help. thank you very much ^^
Thanks a lot for the handy tip!
I think setting the http_proxy environment variable in windows should also work. That way one can double click a playlist file (containing a HTTP link) directly instead of opening it from VLC started using the modified shortcut.
Excelent advice Vernon! Thank you! The only thing that bugs me is that you have to get the link and introduce it into the VLC!
Thanks a lot! But why the heck they did not add an option in the settings somewhere? O.o
And on Mac OS X, from a Terminal window, something like this works:
$ open /Applications/VLC.app --args --http-proxy=my.proxy.net:8080
Thanks a lot!!!
great!!! So many thanks!!!!
