Support writing youtube video chapters as a CUE file
See original GitHub issueChecklist
- I’m reporting a feature request
- I’ve verified that I’m running youtube-dl version 2021.04.17

Description
I saw that youtube-dl supports --write-json-info
, which includes the chapters of a video. It would be nice if we could get this as a CUE file format as another option. ~Winamp supports this file type as an automatic playlist generator, in a way. Poweramp does too.~ I was mistaken. Poweramp does this by default. Winamp requires a plugin.
I don’t expect youtube-dl to split the resulting file for me. I just expect a CUE file to be a possible output format for metadata, like --write-json-info
. Perhaps with a flag like --write-chapters-as-CUE-file
or something.
The workaround is that I can take the JSON file and process it into what I want, but I would prefer it if youtube-dl could do this for me.
I wrote an application that does this that could serve as inspiration (or workaround if this issue is closed): https://bitbucket.org/jevring/youtube-dl-chapters-to-cue/src/master/
