[FFmpeg-user] How to play mp4 chapters

[zetah]

Hi,

I have mp4 with chapters and I would like to play arbitrary chapter.
First I thought to use mplayer, for example to play just chapter 3 I would have used: "mplayer -chapter 3-3 file_with_chapters.m4a", but the problem is I can't get mplayer to output to stdout, and that's my main problem.

Can I instruct ffplay to play certain chapter?
There seem to be option for chapters, but only for bluray, and ffplay doesn't seem to accept -chapter as argument.


Here is my file:
