VLC ignores addresses excluded from proxy

[Tim Ritberg]

I am using Xubuntu 14.04 bit with VLC 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1 and use a proxy (squid) to connect to internet.
I had excluded local addresses and hostname with enviroment variable:
no_proxy=localhost,10.0.0.0/24,mynet.local

and dconf:
org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'auto' (before 'none')
org.gnome.system.proxy autoconfig-url 'http://wpad.mynet.local/wpad.dat'
org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost', '127.0.0.0/8', 'mynet.local', '10.0.0.0/24', 'rasp.mynet.local', 'rasp']

VLC is still using this proxy, its shown in proxy log.
There are no proxy settings set in VLC.

You need libproxy-tools installed here. What does the command line 'proxy http://10.0.0.1/' return?

[Tim Ritberg (xpert-reactos)]

It returns: direct://

For http://25.0.0.1/ it is retuning the proxy url.

This is working. libproxy-tools is installed.

Make sure you did not force a proxy in the VLC preferences (http-proxy in ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc). If it still fails, please paste the verbose VLC logs.

VLC uses the proxy it gets from libproxy. Moving.
