Description

Some video content includes chapters, this allows the user to jump directly to another offset in the video. In Kodi the Up and Down arrows are used to jump from one chapter to the next or previous chapter.

It would be nice if we could implement chapters in Kodi.

Research direction

Start in the Python Kodi add-on and locate the video playback entry point and the handling of chapter metadata. Verify how Kodi exposes Up and Down navigation, then confirm that available chapters can be selected and that playback jumps to the corresponding offsets.
