mediainfo format not available

[noraj]

➜ chap -f mediainfo -o chapters.xml chapters.mediainfo
usage: chap [-h] [-f {simple,pot,ogm,tab,xml}] [--mp4-charset MP4_CHARSET] [--charset CHARSET] [-o OUTPUT] [-c] [filename]
chap: error: argument -f/--format: invalid choice: 'mediainfo' (choose from 'simple', 'pot', 'ogm', 'tab', 'xml')

mediainfo is available in the README but not in the tool.

-f is for output format. "mediainfo" format is only supported for input which is automatically guessed.

Can you provide the "chapters.mediainfo" file and what it looks like? Is it just a text file copied from media info?

Currently it must be only the part about the chapter, i.e. starts from "Menu" line.

I crafted it by hand.

However if I export to OGM instead of XML it works.

➜ chap -f ogm -o chapters.ogm chapters.mediainfo
Write to file: chapters.ogm

It's not recognized by MKVToolNix GUI

While it should be supported

This is caused by the typo in 00:00:41:200 (it should be 00:00:41.200).

Thanks, my bad.
