I myself i thins in a stupid idea when you gain a few mb maybe 1gb,BUT i do have a anime series (legend of the galactic heroes) bd remux and the intro/outro is about 500mb/ep and the serios is about 120eps so i will gain 50gb, now this is some gain.
Another fact is that these day storage is quite cheap an 50gb is a joke but what if my prefered shows are allready manipulated in the desired format and have ordered chapters? I don't have the time and mood to rerip all my dvd's/bluray to get rid of order chapters. I have to admit that back in the days i made this rips using order chapters was a good ideea since storage was a lot expensive and probabably i have made a bad long term decision but that's another story :)
Another great function these days is block dedup built in some storages or zfs that will make your space economy if the intro/outro of a series is the same (i've seen some series where they are)
So for me and i believe for others to it's a good ideea to implement this function. I'm still waiting :)

Just to be clear: I am absolutely not saying that it will never happen. Just wanted to offer my opinion :)

No on accused you of anything :) as I said my opinion in using order chapters is the same as your, basicly a bad long term ideea but some like it and you acn't change some things in life ;)

And without support for it.. legacy files won't work correctly ect..
Ok ... Let me say Chapters! Either support it embedded in the MKV or as an external file. I know it's been on the radar for 7 years ... but please can we get chapters. My vote is in ... LOL.

Chapters are supported, ordered chapters (custom orders, and also segment linking to external files) is not. I don’t think ffmpeg has made any progress on this yet, so we may still be waiting a while.
MPV supports it very well, so adding it to PMP should be possible. There would have to be server-side support, primarily for platforms that couldn’t support this feature, and also for transcoding situations. Perhaps it would even be possible to support direct streaming to mobile clients from segmented files.
Is this something that will be worked on/implemented or even taken into consideration in the future? It’s been over 6 years since this thread was created. I have a large number of series in my collection that utilize ordered chapters (op/ed seperate files), and it seems to be a fairly common issue that people come across. I hope someone can give an update, because it’s kind of a game breaker, and I may have to look into a different solution…
I am a little surprised that no one else has mentioned any other use scenario other than anime. To me, the most obvious use are movies that are 2in1 or 3in1 or what have you. For example, it will have the theatrical cut, unrated, and director’s cut all in one file, instead of needing 3 separate files. HUGE space savings.
Plex won’t budge on this huh? This is the one thing that’s holding me from fully adopting plex. People has been kind of asking for this for about 7 years. Boxee supported ordered chapters from launch. Too bad that’s dead now.

Indeed, for me it’s for both cases: anime and the all/various versions of a movie (theatrical cut, unrated, director’s cut, …).
About 7 years already… take this in consideration please…
is there any way a programmer could contribute to this feature. I have the problem with movies, anime, but I create segment-links/ordered chapters myself a lot for tv series who where successful enough for me to watch and be 1.000.000 episodes long.
It seems you’re having a hard time with it so if I could make this feature myself and make a push request when it works, that would be great.
