Thanks again,
I guess I was inspired by the "intro skipper" plugin, which I got working intermittently but didn't really use (skipping commercials is far more useful to me than skipping intros) and was hoping to create something similar, intro skipper seems to work with .ts files which I understand doesn't support chapters, so that's why I'm wondering if the information is also stored outside the file somehow... but maybe the plugin is remuxing the media to something else as part of the process and I've missed that; I will keep digging and share here if I make any progress - I have to admit to being rather an amateur coder, I have looked at some of the source code, but it's a bit complicated for my rather limited analysis skills :-)
I'll have another play around with my setup over the weekend to take a look at my niggles, it's possible that I've missed a setting somewhere which is preventing Jellyfin from recognising the new MKV file immediately - I should probably start again with a clean install as I've been playing around with a few different plugins, etc. and messed about with a few settings that I probably shouldn't have touched!
I guess the delete permissions issue might be related the account I am running Jellyfin under on my server - I have it running as a Windows service, so that might need a bit of tweaking (I am not at home right now, so can't answer your question, but will do so over the weekend).
Once again, many thanks for your kind help and support, really appreciate it.
Austin
