Add quick easy feature "add external audio' to video only file

[trimechee]

Hi, when I use the extension:

https://github.com/chandler-stimson/live-stream-downloader

to donwload anime streaming videos,

sometimes there is streaming platform, maybe to make more difficult to donwload their streams, they seperate the stream in 2 independent streams: audio only file and video only file, actually the extension Live stream donwnloader can only dnwload the seperate streams audio only and videos only files but can't merge them internally and the developer advises me to use ffmpeg to merge audio only and video only streams or use vlc player that has feature ti add external audio to video only stream.....

i don't like to wait for ffmpeg merge and i don't even know how to merge audio and video with ffmpeg commad lines..... also i have old weak cpu eee pc , i try the option add external audio of Vlc player, it works but it is too long process difficult to add external audio to video only file, so we hope please our beloved QMPlay2 will add quick easy feature to add external audio to video only file, maybe with keyboard or mouse shortcut, thanks!

Mr @zaps166 , I remember asking you to add a feature "subtitle voiceover dubbing subtitle " to avoid reading the subtitles when we have a migraine, sore eyes or visual impairment, or too little screen like my eee pc or big tv screen and I recently found this rare amazing software:

https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit/help#text_to_speech

which has the sensational feature of converting subtitles into an audio file using commercial tts in natural tones !!!

so the idea is that our beloved QMPLay2 adds external audio feature so we can play the downloaded anime video in Japanese language and we activate the "add external audio" feature which erases the original Japanese voice from the video and will use the audio file produced by subtitleedit! Thanks !

also let's note that I also found these rare software that can produce an audio file from the subtitles :

Skimmed only, but QMPlay2 is not downloader (it can download, but it's limited).

In QMPlay2 you can merge two streams (separate audio and video) and play them together already - it's how YouTube is playing btw.

Maybe best idea for anime is to integrate torrent library to play directly from nyaa.si and use AI to translate subtitles on the fly and use AI to speech the text. But it's not for now to implement :sweat_smile:

Ahh we can already add external audio to video only file in QMPlay2 player !!! this is amazing ! 💯

i will try to find this kind of streams that have seperate audio and video files and try to lay the file with QMPlay2 !

Thanks fr the advise ! torrent is a good idea but the size of the files is very huge, plus I have a weak internet connection and I don't want to share my weak bandwidth with strangers, I posted in a previous post the best anime streaming sites and I found others that have good video quality and good standard 360p quality ideal for my weak cpu and weak internet!

and yes of course, we don't ask QMPlay2 to download the videos!

because i found a lot of free downloaders that allow to download the streaming videos, for example file centipede, and stream recorder from edge store (more powerful version than the chrome store) that can merge andio and video:

but i also like to use the open source extension "Live stream downloader" which currently,

https://github.com/chandler-stimson/live-stream-downloader

can't merge audio and video, and the trick found i let Live stream downloader extension download the 2 audio only and video only streams, and i play these 2 files with potplayer with the "add external audio" function, and that's why i asked the same thing for QMPLay2, ie an easy option to add external audio to video only file, and there you inform me that this feature already exists! that's cool! I'm going to dig into the settings....well I find the add subtitle option but I can't find the add external audio option....

It is better to provide a command line parameter to load external audio, just like --input-slave in VLC, so that all problems are solved. The loaded content can be in the form of a local file or a remote audio stream, such as: http://xxxx.mp3, etc.

Like the following:

QMPlay2.exe --audio=C:\Users\Name\Audio\test.mp3
QMPlay2.exe --audio=https://github.com/zaps166/QMPlay2/test.mp3

This way users can use it in different environments.

In addition, this player has very strong performance in playing 4K videos. Please keep it up.

Ouahh we can load external audio quickly in Vlc player wit this command line --input-slave !! it's magnificent ! I will try to do that even if I don't master how to use the command line .... because it's really a nightmare a very tiring pain to follow the classic standard procedure of adding external audio in vlc player !

Thank you Mr @xinghongzhou for these important tips ! 💯 🥇 and of course , in addition to the command line, we hope also our beloved QMPlay2 will add a more easy graphical way out of the box to add quickly external audio for non-expert users like me, thanks !
