How to Get TimeStamps/Chapters so they show in players? #606

I've been trying to figure out how to get the chapters/timestamps built into YouTube videos, so that the file is still just one video, but the player shows the sections or divisions, like you would use to jump between sections in the web player. I believe I had it working once, (maybe I had everything set to re-encode to DASH format?), but I can't figure out what I did.

Thanks!

I think it's --embed-chapters.

Click Edit > General download options..., then in the Additional download options box, add --embed-chapters.

--embed-metadata will also work. That one can be set directly, Edit > General download options... > Post-processing > General, and select Write metadata to the video file.
