Hi,

Is it possible to list audiobook chapters and select a particular audiobook chapter using the Python binding?

Thank you!

Thank you!
I was able to get chapetrs this way after starting the playback:

Code: Select all

            self.player.play()
	    chapters = []
            try:
                descriptions = self.player.get_full_chapter_descriptions(0)
                for d in descriptions:
                    chapters.append({
                        "name": d.name, 
                        "time_offset": d.time_offset, 
                        "duration": d.duration})
            except Exception as e:
                print(e)

Switching chapters works as well:

Code: Select all

            self.player.set_chapter(11)
