Socks proxy not always used.
I'm running VLC 3.0.3 on MacOS 10.12.6 on a Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).
When I set the Socks 5 proxy under !Input/Codecs, the behaviour is weird and inconsistent.
If I "Open Network" and put in the URL for the Slay Radio stream:
https://www.slayradio.org/tune_in.php/128kbps/slayradio.128.m3u
The m3u is retrieved without using the proxy, but then the proxy is used for the individual streams within the m3u.
If I open a private video stream over http, the proxy is not used at all.
I've had to roll back to VLC 2.2.8 which always uses the proxy as I'd expect.
Any suggestions?
