Plex and chapter generation

https://chapterdb.plex.tv/

  • All info is user submitted, so quality varies (much like online subtitle sites).
  • Given the amount of different DVD/Blu-ray releases based region, various cuts, etc, even if the info is accurate, it may not match your media.
  • As @OttoKerner mentions, the database has been read-only for for some time, so info for new releases will not be available (The original chapterdb.org went offline in 2019. There have been no updates since.).

However, I can usually find a decent match.

  • The text format download can be imported into the Chapter Editor in MKVToolNix (Load movie into Chapter Editor, choose Append Chapters from Chapter Editor menu).
  • If the timing is off by a consistent amount, it is easy to adjust using Chapter Editor (load movie into Chapter Editor, right click on Edition Entry, choose Additional Modifications then Shift Start/End timestamps).
  • If all else fails, you can sometimes find the chapter names and just edit them in manually (if your movie has existing chapter markers but not names). I have not found a way to import just chapter names and keep existing timings.
