youtube timestamps (export to text)

[mrfragger]

00:00:00 Intro 00:00:04 1 some chapter 00:00:50 2 another chapter 00:00:56 Chapter_1 00:01:00 Chapter_2 00:01:03 Chapter_3 00:01:27 3 last chapter

modified script instead of xml to do youtube timestamps cuz the other ones I tried didn't work so this ended up being the most doable way to go. Also added to output just chapters without timestamps in case one wants to post that chapter list for whatever reason.

local utils = require("mp.utils")

    local all_chapters = mp.get_property_native("chapter-list")
    mp.osd_message(time_pos_osd, 1)

    if chapter_count == 0 then
        all_chapters[1] = {
            title = "chapter_1",
            time = time_pos
        }
        -- We just set it to zero here so when we add 1 later it ends up as 1
        -- otherwise it's probably "nil"
        curr_chapter = 0
        -- note that mpv will treat the beginning of the file as all_chapters[0] when using pageup/pagedown
        -- so we don't actually have to worry if the file doesn't start with a chapter
    else
        -- to insert a chapter we have to increase the index on all subsequent chapters
        -- otherwise we'll end up with duplicate chapter IDs which will confuse mpv
        -- +2 looks weird, but remember mpv indexes at 0 and lua indexes at 1
        -- adding two will turn "current chapter" from mpv notation into "next chapter" from lua's notation
        -- count down because these areas of memory overlap
        for i = chapter_count, curr_chapter + 2, -1 do
            all_chapters[i + 1] = all_chapters[i]
