MP4 movies, adding chapters?

Is there a way to add chapters for movies without re-encoding them… All my movie files are mp4??

There’s apps that will do that. On a Mac you can use Subler.
If you have some chapter descriptor you might also be able to remux the files.

so basicly…remuxing…

Not necessarily… that’s one option.
Although if you have chapter files it’s probably easier than manually typing 16-30 chapters per movie.

Apps like Subler will directly read/write from/to existing chapters (or create new ones).

I thought Enable video preview thumbnails would make the chapters with thumbnails??..plus I dont use a MAC and windows-based options?

No. Preview thumbnails aren’t used for chapter icons/thumbs but previews of the entire video. They’re e.g. used in the now playing items of the server dashboard or when viewing the video timeline during ffwd/ rwd.

You need to enable this option under Settings → Settings → Library:
