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.

This version of the script requires mpv 0.38 or newer.

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
  • save chapters as an xml or txt file
  • 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
  • embed chapters in place in mkv container using mkvpropedit
  • 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:

    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+b  script-binding chapters/write_xml
    B       script-binding chapters/write_txt
    ctrl+,  script-binding chapters/bake_chapters
    K       script-binding chapters/mkvpropedit

Thanks
