I've been noticing a few strange inconsistencies with how 10.9+ shows chapter information.
Firstly - the chapter scratch marks on the time line is a great addition to the web player.
The strangeness I've noticed is there seems to be some sort of strange text parsing behaviour going on.
Using Back to the Future as an example. There is a chapter named '1955' which on the movies main page only shows as 'Chapter 7' This seems to be the case for other chapters that only contain numbers.
In the playback timeline of the film there are icons present on the time bar, that seem to be directly recognising some text. "Late For School" has a mortarboard hat for example. In 2001 A space odyssey 'Dawn of Man' has an icon of a Man. Others I've seen; a picture of a House if the title has 'home' in it, a picture of a briefcase if there word 'work' is in the title etc.
However, continuing this, the title cards for the titles sometimes show the full title, but not always, even for the same movie.
I'm wondering where this behaviour would be coming from and if there were a way to turn off/configure the word recognition. I re-imported BTTF after 10.9.2 update so perhaps that's why I can see the word on timeline, but the icons are across multiple films when certain words are in title.
