Browsing chapters - He-who-is-tired - 2023-07-07

First -- thank you for all of the work that is obviously going into the client!  It has been noticeably evolving and getting better!

Is there currently a way to browse through the chapters in a movie or show?  I would've sworn I've done it before, and yet, I cannot figure it out, I have a suspicion that I am conflating some of the functions of the roku plex client with that for Jellyfin, but wanted to ask.

Thanks for any insight.

At one point there was a thumbnail plugin that was added. Unfortunately, it was not officially supported correctly and was removed. There is hope that it will be added to the Jellyfin server in a more official capacity someday. So that might be what you're thinking of.

The Roku client does not currently support chapter navigation; however, there I recently created this functionality and it's pending merging into the code now.

You can track its progress and see more details (including a screenshot and a demo) here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/pull/1461

I've been meaning to reply for a few days now, but life, etc.

This is great! I've used it a few times now in the Roku app, and it is very helpful! Thank you!

Thanks @1hitsong!  Just started using Jellyfin.  I am primarily an Apple TV user but this feature was reason enough to use Roku for jellyfin.  I have found that it works great.  I do have two suggestions.  First, swap places between the Chapter icon and the CC icon.  That way, its only a pause, up, select instead of pause, up, left, select.  Second, can you make the chapter list a little wider, or allow the width to be configured?  The right side of most of my chapter names get cut off.  I know that if I navigate to a chapter it will slide across showing me the whole name but I think it would be a little easier if it was wider.

Now we just need to get this feature in all of the other clients :-). Thanks!
