MPC-HC Add Audio File via API

[MysteryX]

Let's say I want to open a video in MPC-HC with a separate audio file.

I can use
- "File"->"Open File/URL". Put the audio file in the second field.
- "/dub" command-line parameter
- Place the audio file next to the file being played so it auto-loads

Is there a way to do it via API, either via the C API or via the Web API?

Put audio and videofile with the same filename in one path, double click videofile, audiofile is automatically loaded in MPC-BE, should be the same for MPC-HC.

That's the 3rd option I wrote but doesn't answer the question

I was just reading MpcApi.h and what you are looking for is not available it seems.

Sorry, didn‘t ead it carefully, only looked at the question. What is it for?

Sometimes some people need to automate a player for instance by launching it with command line arguments or remote control a running player, there are many reasons for that, in my case StaxRip passes command line arguments to the player setting track id/index or track file name so people can preview what they are about to encode.

MysteryX has similar reasons.
