For full clarity, this isn't a feature that stopped working. Chapters are a new feature as of v0.18.0 Beta (see FreeTubeApp#2224 for the exact changes). It is worth noting that they are visually different than they appear in YT currently, but AFAIK, the chapter title hasn't ever been displayed when scrubbing the progress bar in FreeTube.
It might be a good idea to also display sponsorblock category when implementing this.
Ex: Video thumbnail Chapter Title (bold) Sponsorblock Category Timestamp
It is an extremely useful feature that is available on android tv box from the official youtube API
It shows the chapter but ALSO allows to quickly skip to that segment of the video. It even (since recently) displays a tiny thumbnail of the segment if I recall right.
I completely agree with this. I have no idea why they decided to place it at the bottom of the video, it just adds more clicks and effort for something that should be easy and quick.
I don't know if there's that clean of a way to do this currently. Creating a custom FtSeekBar component that extends the Shaka seek bar one and tossing in our extra fields? Injecting it with the content CSS property? @absidue
@kommunarr I feel like I've explained this before but shaka-player uses the google closure compiler which is the only javascript bundler that actually handles classes properly, which means that the class you see in the source code will not match the one in the bundle that FreeTube uses, you will only have access to the classes, properties and methods are explicitly exported (@protected, @export), anything tagged with private will definitely not be available from the FreeTube side.
You'll have to create a new seek bar from scratch or copy over the one from upstream as well as all of it's utilities that aren't exposed in the bundle.
Recently I'm watching a lot of coding tutorials and it's really a need feature. Every time I have to press "S" then scroll down to find the chapter name.
@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc Bro keeps calling everyone a duplicator, but he’s not adding any actual features. A lot of people really want this feature to be added😑
