Can you add a command line parameter for audio to load a separate audio file
Hello friends! Can you add a command line parameter for audio to load a separate audio file, like this:
```
MC33.exe --audio=C:\Users\Name\Audio\test.mp3 "C:\Users\Name\Video\test.mp4"
MC33.exe --audio=https://cdn-003.com/audio\test.mp3 'https://cdn-003.com/video\test.mp4'
```
If  Media Center 33  includes a command line parameter to add audio, it can be used in a wider range of fields.
Just like: the `--input-slave` parameter in vlc; the `--audio-file` parameter in mpv.

This way users can use  Media Center 33  in more environments.

I plan to develop a web extension for it so that it can be used in a wider range of fields.

Unfortunately, Media Center 33 currently does not support loading individual audio resources from the command line.

Thank you very much for providing a very good media player for global users! 🙏

This should already be possible. Check out the wiki:

Can you give some examples to show that this function has been implemented?
Like this:
```
MC33.exe --audio=C:\Users\Name\Audio\test.mp3 "C:\Users\Name\Video\test.mp4"
MC33.exe --audio=https://cdn-003.com/audio\test.mp3 'https://cdn-003.com/video\test.mp4'
```

I have read the command line documentation, but I did not find any relevant audio command line.

Matt is referring to playing a single file from command line, but you want to play audio from one and video from another.

AFAIK this is not supported. You can easily merge the files using many tools, like MKVtoolnix, but MC currently doesn't do realtime source muxing.

If you are willing to provide a command line parameter that can load separate audio, I can develop a web extension to play most network live streaming. Unfortunately, it is not possible at present. . .

The following command line also cannot play live streaming, which can be played in VLC or other popular players and performs very well.

```

```

MC can play online streams directly:
mc33 /play https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8

mc33 /play https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8

Because many well-known and popular live streaming network service providers store audio and video separately, if it is always impossible to play audio and video at the same time in the command line, then there is actually no way to solve this problem. Users and extension developers have never been able to expand the playback function of JRiver Media Center 33.

So I hope that JRiver Media Center 33 can keep up with the times and support simultaneous playback of audio and video in the command line like popular media players such as VLC, MPV, PotPlayer, etc.

For example: In popular media players such as VLC, MPV, PotPlayer, they support the following two command line syntax formats to play separate audio and video:

```
vlc.exe --input-slave=C:\Users\Name\Audio\test.mp3 "C:\Users\Name\Video\test.mp4"
vlc.exe --input-slave=https://cdn-003.com/audio\test.mp3 'https://cdn-003.com/video\test.mp4'
```

```
mpv.exe --audio-file=C:\Users\Name\Audio\test.mp3 "C:\Users\Name\Video\test.mp4"
mpv.exe --audio-file=https://cdn-003.com/audio\test.mp3 'https://cdn-003.com/video\test.mp4'
```

```

```

```

Which ones?  Legal services?

Which ones?  Legal services?

For example: like netflix, Youtube, bilibili, etc....

I was referring to your yt-dlp examples, which are just playing an m3u8. That should work with current MC directly, no need to pipe from yt-dlp.

Problem is a lot of them use DRM so it's a no-go to begin with.

The purpose of using yt-dlp to take over is to greatly improve the loading speed, playback stability and smoothness of the real-time stream.

Youtube can also be taken over using yt-dlp, as shown below:

```
yt-dlp.exe 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ' -o - | vlc.exe -
```

```
yt-dlp.exe 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ' -o - | mpv.exe -
```
