Add chapter support for .MKA files

[bryanknowles249]

I use .MKA files to store multiple common files together - unique song playlists and audiobooks. These files show up under a music library, but I’m unable to select chapters from them. Was hoping that chapter support could be implemented, especially since it’s the same programming as MKV chapters.

I recommend you to rather support these existing suggestions:

Support for audiobooks

remember the play position for audiobooks also. especially now as it is possible to sync them and take them with you. [Edit Mod] This post is also asking for an audio book specific library type separate from music library. While remembering position is part of a Music library, Audiobook could help with other features like chapter selection, books covers, publishers, etc, which is not possible in a Music library.

Support MPEG-TS or MKV metadata

My video library is in MPEG-2 Transport stream (M2TS) files and MKV files (most of these are DVB-files with DVB subtitles). When importing these files - Plex ignores the metadata. If I remux to MP4, all the metadata shows up but I lose the metadata. Could you please add proper support for metadata from different fileformats other than MP4? Thank you!

Without general audio book support, chapters in audio-only files are rather exotic and don’t have a realistic chance to ever get implemented.

In addition to Otto‘s point and the wider dependency… there’s already an existing suggestion asking for the exact same feature (also with no votes so far). So in case you want to keep the suggestion purely about the aspect of having chapter support for those particular audio file formats (instead of the use case), please comment/vote in that thread to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

Albums in MKA with chapters

I'd like to see support for full albums contained in MKA files with chapters to separate tracks.
