Manage VOD media chapters

This guide covers the creation of chapters on a video from the VOD service and the customization of the menu display (thumbnail, title, description, etc.).

 

Preamble

  • The video file must be encoded in MP4 to access the editing (creation + modification) of chapters.
  • Chapter editing will not be possible on a FLV video, but the latter will still display the chapters on the video Player if it has also been encoded in MP4 in parallel.
  • If the MP4 video is deleted, the chapters will remain on the FLV but without the possibility of editing.
  • It is not possible to use this tool in the case of an audio-only media.
