Use custom command like --download-sections or --split-chapters

will you add this feature directly to the app in the future please ? these commands are kind of confusing

These commands are complicated and hard to integrate into the GUI options too. If you can't figure out which option to use, turn to the yt-dlp community and they'll be happy to help

thanks for answering. may I know, what features are on your To do?

[venkat2305]

@JunkFood02 hey, this is implemented in this project. Both YouTube chapters and sponsoblock chapters were implemented. Can you please take a look and add it to seal. Thank you

[JunkFood02]

I didn't get which feature about "chapters" you're requesting is, please describe it more clearly

[venkat2305]

This video has chapters uploaded by the creator. We can see chapters in VLC media player. It looks like this for YouTube chapters

The chapters from sponsorblock look like this. Video link

For some videos , which have sponsor segments like in this video chapters look like this although seal has an option to remove these sponsor segments

It would be really helpful if you could add this

[JunkFood02]

I see, this is "marking chapters" not "chapter downloading" and easy to implement

[venkat2305]

Thought those two are the same.

[venkat2305]

In 1.8.0-beta.2 , only chapters from YouTube are being marked. It would be great to have the option to mark sponsorblock chapters as well @JunkFood02

[venkat2305]

Maybe there should be an option to mark sponsorblock chapters. Like a toggle. And by default YouTube chapters will be marked.

[AbhiTheModder]

@venkat2305 There's already an option for sponsorblock inside settings :)

[venkat2305]

For chapters there isn't. There should be a separate toggle for chapters. Also, right now we can't see sponsorblock chapters in the video even though yt chapters are working

[bibsp]

@venkat2305 --embed-chapters is the command for that.

[venkat2305]

It doesn't mark sponsorblock chapters.

[bibsp]

Always use --embed-chapters --sponsorblock-mark all for your purpose.

Do experiments with commands. You will find everything.

I was asking for its GUI implementation. So, it would be easy to use
