Description
Most videos chapter parameters are extracted correctly, but some are NULL. No idea why. Maybe, there are several ways timecodes/chapters can be tagged in code or something. Please see 2 sample links below:
Example1 with NULL chapters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSy62MExgQE
Example 2 with non-null chapters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9yn1DpZkHQ
Youtube also doesnot recognize that video's chapters. I guess the formatting is wrong?
