Solved Chapter Selector Window
#1
I'd like to request the implementation of a chapter list/selector window.

XBMC already recognizes chapter information for all major media formats.

Use cases:
  • Browse and select songs in music videos & concert recordings. The window would probably work best if designed with a top-to-bottom list of songs, potentially with 2 columns. Without thumbs.
  • Browse and select chapters within a movie
  • Browse and select episodes of multi-episode disc/iso

For music listening DVD menus are not optimal because they stop the music.
Blu-Ray menus are not available on Linux.
MKV has no menus on its own.

There's already an implementation of such a chapter selector which doesn't seem to use the embedded chapter content in mediafiles:
https://code.google.com/p/xbmc-chapters/

I haven't been able to figure out how to test it but from the description I'm thinking that this might be a good start for implementation in XBMC trunk with some tweaks.
Things to sort out:
  • If no dedicated chapter file exists in the video folder, use embedded chapters of the video file
  • Make it possible to choose between thumbnail style and simple text list style. Default to text list style unless thumbnails are specified in chapter file
