ChapterPlay automatically extracts chapters from YouTube video descriptions and displays them in a beautiful, interactive sidebar. Visitors can click any chapter to jump directly to that timestamp.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>🎬 Gutenberg Block — drag and drop into any post or page</li>
<li>🔖 Shortcode — <code>[chapterplay url="..."]</code> for classic editor or any text widget</li>
<li>📑 Auto Chapter Extraction — reads timestamps directly from YouTube descriptions</li>
<li>📺 Multiple Players — add unlimited players on the same page with no conflicts</li>
<li>🌙 Premium Dark Design — polished UI that adapts to any container size (300px to full-width)</li>
<li>⚡ Smart Caching — chapter data is cached server-side to reduce API calls</li>
<li>🔑 No API Key Required — uses YouTube’s internal data endpoint; zero configuration needed</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to Use</h4>
Gutenberg Block: 
1. In the block editor, click + to add a new block 
2. Search for ChapterPlay 
3. Add the block, then paste the YouTube URL in the right-hand Settings panel 
4. Save and preview — the player renders on the frontend with chapters
Shortcode:
<pre><code>[chapterplay url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"]

[chapterplay url="VIDEO_ID"]
</code></pre>
You can use the shortcode inside any page, post, or text widget.
<h4>External Services</h4>
This plugin connects to youtube.com to fetch video metadata (title, description, duration). No personal user data is transmitted. The connection is made server-side only when a video is first loaded or the cache expires.
<ul>
<li>Service: YouTube (google.com)</li>
<li>Data sent: YouTube video ID only</li>
<li>Data received: Video title, author, duration, description</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
