xiosensei 22 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have seen this chapter.xml request more than once in the general discussion and would like to see if someone skilled can make this happen! some topics related to this: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/47079-disregard-chapter-xml/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/35958-chapters-support-for-chapterxml-files/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/30968-auto-generated-chapters-at-end-of-the-video/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/34135-external-chapter-files/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/8681-chapters/?hl=chapters What is it? chapter.xml is a file stored in the video folder that provides direction on how emby divides, names and provides images for each chapter How does it look like? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <chapters> <chapter mark="0:00:00" title="A first chapter" thumb="movie-chapter1.jpg"> <plot>Plot of first chapter</plot> </chapter> <chapter mark="0:011:13" title="The Second chapter" thumb="movie-chapter2.jpg"> <plot>Plot of second chapter</plot> </chapter> </chapters> thanks for flight for the code. Why is this important? 1) preserving the original file by not converting it to mkv for custom chapters 2) easy to edit (all you need is a text editor.. it is like the nfo file!) 3) currently the interval is set to 5 mins, what if your video is 25.5 mins? is it really worth it to have that last chapter 4) providing this feature will advance emby over other media servers 5) the feature does not sound to be too complicated to implement comparing it to whatever else emby has to offer. But I maybe bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37065 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 We go in the direction the community takes us. If we think there's sufficient demand for a feature, then that's when we usually act on it. The reason I suggested adding your weight to those other topics is because it will help increase their collective visibility. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
