Bug ID: 499812
Summary: Feature request: Edit chapters via the CLI
Classification: Applications
Product: kid3
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: uflei...@users.sourceforge.net
Reporter: obs...@obskyr.io
Target Milestone: ---
Currently, itʼs not possible to edit chapters using the CLI. In fact, the
`Chapters` pseudo-tag does not even appear using the `get` command (though it
can be selected/deselected/copied/pasted/deleted). I would love to be able to
edit chapter markers in the CLI! (Currently, the only tool that can edit
chapters using the command line across several formats is FFmpeg, and that has
the unfortunate side effect of mangling all other metadata in various ways.
I suggest a new command or set of commands for this – building this more
complex functionality into the existing `set` and `get` commands strikes me as
shoving a square peg into a round hole.
(I presume the plan is to eventually implement the `Chapters` pseudo-tag for
all the relevant formats – manipulating that may be a good way to solve
this.)
One consideration that may need to be made is Kid3ʼs eventual Matroska support:
Matroska chapters appear to potentially be far more complex than in other
formats, so whatever solution is chosen would need to be extensible to Matroska
(without unintentionally mangling metadata) as well.
