Support for chapters in videos

Open ClementNerma opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi there!

I've been using SmartTubeNext for a few years as my main YouTube player and so far I've really been enjoying, thank you for the amazing work!

I wondered if it would be possible to add support for chapters in videos (example here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvkTC2xIbeY). Many of the videos I watch are chaptered and this helps a lot when looking for a specific part.

I don't know how it could be implemented exactly, maybe it could be a simple mark on the progress bar to indicate where the chapters at first?

Chapters navigation (aka jumping to another chapter) could be done by adding two buttons on the toolbar, one to go the previous chapter, another to go to the next chapter.

And when jumping to a new chapter, maybe the chapter's title could be temporarily shown above the progress bar, just below the title - or permanently shown if the user chooses so in the settings.

What do you think of this?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

This would be fantastic, I'm really missing chapter skipping after coming from the normal YT app.

@Learner00100 yes, I have such plans

@yuliskov nice to hear that. I also have another suggestion, Is it possible to add (in channel search feature) which available on YouTube web. Can be implemented in app while opening the channel and browsing through it. It will useful to search a particular video from that channel alone(like searching music song from official channel only)

I think you would be better off creating a new issue instead of adding a new request in this one ;)

@ClementNerma got it. Search inside a channel. I'll remember this request.
