chapter-make-read.lua - manually importing _chapter.chp file

[Max-Enrik]

Thanks for the script.

It is easily and automatically imported.

I am just wondering how to manually import the chapter.chp file. Can you guide me on this?

I have to repeat this twice for the most recently created chapter. s script-message-to createchapter create_chapter; script-message-to chapter_make_read write_chapter

How to add a file title into the chapter file name, instead create_chapter.chp?

No, it can't. I haven't implemented this function, why do you need it?

You don't need to use createchapter.lua anymore, I have implemented relevant functions in chapter-make-read.lua. just use s script-message-to chapter_make_read create_chapter; script-message-to chapter_make_read write_chapter

How to add a file title into the chapter file name, instead create_chapter.chp?

This script uses the filename by default when creating an external chapter file: https://github.com/dyphire/mpv-scripts/blob/3fe5f3ce1c51d04faec7d47b81b816aae244796e/chapter-make-read.lua#L196-L213

It works normally for me. I don't know why it doesn't work for you. It will be helpful if you can provide mpv log files.

No, it can't. I haven't implemented this function, why do you need it?

Because I watch videos from internet sources. How can the script match/be adapted?

This script uses the filename by default when creating an external chapter file:

Yes, when I play video from the local/hard disk. But no, when I play videos from internet sources.

The latest commit of https://github.com/dyphire/mpv-scripts/commit/a9a027e97bdbc3a2ccf791a7612cbfce06fd6391 should work for network playback file. Can you test it?

[Max-Enrik]

OMG! You are the best! Thank you so much!

How can I delete specific chapters while playing a file?

You can't, because mpv doesn't support this operation.

[Max-Enrik]

It looks like it just doesn't support the chapter, right? Because it can delete history/bookmark scripts from their list menu.

When a file has ? in the title chapter script doesn't work.

[dyphire]

When a file has ? in the title chapter script doesn't work.

Cannot replicate on local file because cannot use these special characters of \/?: in filename. I guess it is still a issue with network files. Please test whether the following patches work.

The initial test was perfect! Thank you!

[Max-Enrik]

I had to delete the createchapter.lua file. When I deleted that script, the script failed to create chapters.

a script-message-to chapter_make_read create_chapter; script-message-to chapter_make_read write_chapter

It looks like I have to keep createchapter.lua.

I don't want simple history would append in a .chp file. Would it not add in a .chp file?
