Package: devede Version: 4.8.0-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
When setting up custom chapters in a video file (in the Files list, after having selected a file, click on Properties, then in the General tab you have "Manual chapter list (split by comma in mm:ss format)"), the precise format to specify is very confusing: - When providing a custom list of chapters, if a chapter is longer than the value of the previous item "Size (in minutes) for each chapter", then apparently the gaps are cut. E.g., if you provide "10:00,20:00" as custom chapters and the size is "5" then a chapter gets inserted at "15:00". This is not especially intuitive and not explained anywhere. So when manual chapter breaks are provided they should not be automatically split like this, or at least it should be clearly explained. - For positions after the one-hour mark, you need to describe them, e.g., as "64:42", not "1:04:42". If you provide them as "1:04:42" then it is silently parsed as "1:04" ignoring the ":42". This is not clearly explained. Also, it seems like chapters beyond the 1:20:00 mark are ignored. IMO the best fix would be to accept values such as "1:04:42", and in any case the contents of the field should be parsed and validated to avoid mysterious failures. (By the way, there is a possible workaround to these problems but it's really ugly: start producing the DVD, then pkill -STOP devede, edit xml_data/dvdauthor.xml to change the chapter list, then pkill -CONT devede.)
