# chapters for mpv



It's a script that lets you add, remove and edit chapters of the currently

played media, be it video or audio, local file or a stream. Chapters you create

can be saved into a separate text file and automatically loaded when you open

the same media file again.



## Features



* add a new chapter, optionally with a title

* edit existing chapter's title

* remove current chapter

* save chapters as a text file, either in the same directory as the media file

  or in a global directory

* optionally can hash file paths in an attempt to uniquely identify media files

  if chapter files are stored in a central directory

* option to automatically save/load chapter files

* option to use ffmpeg to put the chapters into the media file container as a

  metadata, so that other media players, like vlc, can make use of them

* should work on Unix and Windows (tested on Archlinux and Windows 10)



## Installation



* place **chapters.lua** in your **~/.config/mpv/scripts** directory

* optionally create a config file named **chapters.conf** in **~/.config/mpv/script-opts**, check out example config file

* add keybindings to your **~/.config/mpv/input.conf**, example:



  ```ini

  n       script-binding chapters/add_chapter

  ctrl+m  script-binding chapters/remove_chapter

  ctrl+.  script-binding chapters/edit_chapter

  N       script-binding chapters/write_chapters

  ctrl+,  script-binding chapters/bake_chapters

  ```



* if you want to have the ability to name/rename chapters, you'll need to install

  



  * optionally create a config file for it **~/.config/mpv/user_input.conf** where

  you can configure text size and such



## Thanks



*  - very useful script to get

  user input, hopefully one day mpv's scripting API will have that ootb.

*  - inspiration for writing this

  script. At first I just wanted to add to it the ability to load the saved

  chapters file, but then I wrote entirely new script with a lot more features.

  Also check out  - as I was finishing

  my script and thinking how to name it, I found out that someone already wrote

  something similar. Duh... at least I got to lear some Lua in the process.

* mpv, ffmpeg and other awesome open source projects
