You can write chapters into the metadata of video and audio files with ffmpeg:

copy metadata:

ffmpeg -i FRIDAY_JAMS_WITH_ariathome_\[v1830087678\].mp4 -f ffmetadata meta.txt

add the following:

[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/1
START=1929
#chapter ends at 0:32:09
END=2910
title=\#1: First Song
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/1
START=2910
END=4660
title=\#2: Second Song

Write metadata to file:

ffmpeg -i FRIDAY_JAMS_WITH_ariathome_\[v1830087678\].mp4 -i meta.txt -map_metadata 1 -map_chapters 1 -codec copy FRIDAY_JAMS_WITH_ariathome_\[v1830087678\]_chaps.mp4

Result:

Those markings are the chapters and you can jump between them, list them with title and all.

I chose a timebase (resolution) of 1s. (TIMEBASE=1/1)

It is also possible to use milliseconds: TIMEBASE=1/1000 and START=1929000...

Nice way! Because I prefer to have smaller files, one can create an option to save chapters as tags. I want to keep chapterfiles as default.

Feel free to create a pull request!
