hi all,
as you know it's possible to add chapter markers into e.g. mkv containers. while playing back such a video xbmc shows the chapters in the overlay at the bottom right corner.
at this point two things came into my mind.
1. would it be possible to produce screenshots of each chapter beginning and place these into the bottom overlay? this would give the user the possibility to scroll (left/right direction) through a visual chapter list and to select the desired chapter.
2. in case that a video does not contain chapter markers, would it be possible to autoadd/autocreate chapters for such videos and store this information e.g. in the videodatabase? e.g. every ten minutes.
what do you think?
best regards,
