Playvids Proxy

Go to "Settings" of the torrent, and then in the settings menu, select the subsection "Connection", which contains network connection settings. Under "Proxy" choose the type of your proxy (Socks5 proxy is recommended), then enter the IP address and proxy port in the appropriate fields, then click "Change". Now everything is ready - the torrent works through a proxy server.

The error "Unable to locate element" in Selenium usually occurs when the web element you are trying to interact with is not present in the DOM (Document Object Model) at the time your script tries to locate it. This could be due to several reasons, such as

The element is not present on the page when the script tries to locate it.

The element is present but not visible (e.g., hidden by CSS or not yet rendered).

The element has a different ID, name, or other attributes than expected.

The element is dynamically loaded after the initial page load (e.g., via JavaScript).

To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

Wait for the element to be present: Use explicit or implicit waits to wait for the element to be present and visible before interacting with it. Explicit wait example:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Explicit wait example
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "element_id")))

Implicit wait example:

driver.implicitly_wait(10)  # Set an implicit wait of 10 seconds
element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "element_id")

Wait for the element to be clickable: If you want to click the element, you can wait for it to be clickable instead of just present. Clickable wait example:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions import element_to_be_clickable

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "element_id")))

Check the element's locator: Ensure that the locator (e.g., ID, name, XPath, CSS selector) you are using is correct and unique to the element you want to interact with. If multiple elements have the same locator, you may inadvertently interact with the wrong one.

Handle dynamic elements: If the element is dynamically loaded after the initial page load, you may need to use JavaScript to interact with it directly or to scroll to the element before interacting with it.

JavaScript example:

script = "arguments[0].click();"
button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "button_id")
driver.execute_script(script, button)

Refresh the page: If the element is still not present or not visible, you may need to refresh the page or navigate to a different page where the element is present.

Remember to replace "element_id", "button_id", and other placeholders with the actual element identifiers in your code.

To view proxy settings on your computer, follow these steps based on your operating system:

Windows:

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on "Internet Options."
3. Go to the "Connections" tab and click "LAN settings."
4. Check the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option to view the current proxy settings.

macOS:

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click on "Network."
3. Select your active network connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab to view the current proxy settings.

In the Windows Settings menu, go to "Network and Internet". At the very bottom, on the left side, find the item "Proxy server" and uncheck it so that it is no longer used. It is also desirable to uncheck the item "Automatic detection of parameters" in the section "Automatic configuration". If this is not done, there is a chance that the proxy will continue to be used. Reboot your laptop.

In Windows 10 you need to go to "Settings", go to "Network and Internet", open the tab "Proxy" and make the necessary settings for the connection (under "Manual", the item should also be made active).
