Chapter frame.
The purpose of this frame is to describe a single chapter within an
audio file. There may be more than one frame of this type in a tag
but each must have an Element ID that is unique with respect to any
other "CHAP" frame or "CTOC" frame in the tag.
<ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 frame header, ID: "CHAP"> | | (10 bytes) |
Element ID | <text string> $00 |
Start time | $xx xx xx xx |
End time | $xx xx xx xx |
Start offset | $xx xx xx xx |
End offset | $xx xx xx xx |
<Optional embedded sub-frames> |
The Element ID uniquely identifies the frame. It is not intended to
be human readable and should not be presented to the end user.
The Start and End times are a count in milliseconds from the
beginning of the file to the start and end of the chapter
respectively.
The Start offset is a zero-based count of bytes from the beginning
of the file to the first byte of the first audio frame in the
chapter. If these bytes are all set to 0xFF then the value should be
ignored and the start time value should be utilized.
The End offset is a zero-based count of bytes from the beginning of
the file to the first byte of the audio frame following the end of
the chapter. If these bytes are all set to 0xFF then the value should
be ignored and the end time value should be utilized.
There then follows a sequence of optional frames that are embedded
within the "CHAP" frame and which describe the content of the chapter
(e.g. a "TIT2" frame representing the chapter name) or provide
related material such as URLs and images. These sub-frames are
contained within the bounds of the "CHAP" frame as signalled by the
size field in the "CHAP" frame header. If a parser does not recognise
"CHAP" frames it can skip them using the size field in the frame
header. When it does this it will skip any embedded sub-frames
carried within the frame.
