poi_highlight

Video with the new category: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF2KF-SVIXc

How can I use it on MPV?

I tried to add "poi_highlight" to "skip categories", it does fetch that, but it doesn't skip TO IT, since the script only skips FROM IT. This one is tricky to use since the start and end times are equal, so somehow the script will need to skip to that point (highlight) from the start of the video.

Did notice the new feature while using the browser extension and not sure how to implement this. I think just a chapter marker is fine, letting you use your mpv seeking bindings to jump to that chapter. Just need to check if it already works with the current code.

I don't think that "chapter marker" is enough for this one. The whole point of "highlight" is that the VIDEO WILL START FROM that chapter. Meaning the script will need to identify the "highlight" and SKIP TO IT accordingly.

There will always only be atmost one poi_highlight per video, so the script could mark 0 to highlight as a chapter and skip it. The feature should be opt-in though and should not be enabled by default imo

It doesn't seem like a "workaround", it looks like a solution, will you be able to send a PR for this?
