Which commands do you use for the server and the client? I'm too lazy to study how to use KCPTun :)

Well, so there is EOFError even if you don't use KCPTun but only Shadowsocks?

No, QQ videos are not supported yet. See #6831.

Right，if only use shadowsocks, it also doesn't work ,and it take a long time to get the feedback information from the website。Maybe the website ban those vps ip from shadowsocks ，but without it cant visit those website 。You can use the youtube-dl try to download those videos with shadowsocks，you can find out those error。

I've set up shadowsocks server & client, both on my own PC. Seems everything works fine:

$ youtube-dl --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:1080/ https://www.dramafever.com/zh-cn/drama/4972/15/Doctor_Romantic/   
[dramafever] Downloading main.js
[dramafever] Downloading Akamai AMP feed
ERROR: Currently unavailable in your country.

Did you use the latest Shadowsocks (2.9.1)?
By the way, from your log the error comes from the initialization stage of SOCKS5. Maybe people at https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks/issues can help you more.

This issue is for discussions about Shadowsocks and KCPTun. Please open new issues for other websites. But first, are you sure there are 1080P videos in those websites?
