2 years ago Creating chapters and writing the file works, but when I close and restart mpv, the chapters file isn't imported. I assume it's because I don't have 'mp.msg', 'mp.utils', and "mp.options" which are listed as "required" in your script (unless they're mpv builtins).
Yes,these are mpv builtins(defaults.lua; options.lua). Please upload the mpv log file to help determine the cause of the issue.

2 years ago mpv was started with these arguments:
mpv --keep-open=yes --pause=yes --log-file=Testvideo.log Testvideo.mp4The log is at the end. It says chapter_make_read.conf not found.. Well ... yes, this file is missing. It's because the README mentioned it and pointed to more detailed info in the script itself, but there I could not find that information (or I did not understand it correctly). To my understanding, it looks like I don't need it as long as the options in
local o = {
...
}Are OK for me. I only added two key bindings to input.conf: I omitted the write_xml binding because I dont't need it for now.
And now the log:

2 years ago I found that this was due to the script of chapter-make-read.lua is failure to properly handle the relative path, and fixed it in the latest commit of https://github.com/dyphire/mpv-scripts/commit/2fb99a6b81d4a2a641db98a6f56b2b22bcb14b26. Please test whether it works for you.

2 years ago Yes, it works. Thank you very much.
Would you mind if I edit the title of this issue to:
Adding and writing chapters works, but loading at mpv start fails
?
I think it would be more appropriate now that I learned that the required modules are mpv builtins.
Hi,
I just found your script collection and tried to use chapter-make-read.lua.
Creating chapters and writing the file works, but when I close and restart mpv, the chapters file isn't imported. I assume it's because I don't have 'mp.msg', 'mp.utils', and "mp.options" which are listed as "required" in your script (unless they're mpv builtins).
However, I could not found any info if they are mpv builtins and if not where to get them.
I think that for users who are not very experienced with lua scripts, it would be helpful to add a little bit of explanation in the README.
Thanks, Markus
