## Description

**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.

#### Key Features

 * 🎬 **Gutenberg Block** — drag and drop into any post or page
 * 🔖 **Shortcode** — `[chapterplay url="..."]` for classic editor or any text widget
 * 📑 **Auto Chapter Extraction** — reads timestamps directly from YouTube descriptions
 * 📺 **Multiple Players** — add unlimited players on the same page with no conflicts
 * 🌙 **Premium Dark Design** — polished UI that adapts to any container size (300px
   to full-width)
 * ⚡ **Smart Caching** — chapter data is cached server-side to reduce API calls
 * 🔑 **No API Key Required** — uses YouTube’s internal data endpoint; zero configuration
   needed

#### How to Use

**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:**

    ```
    [chapterplay url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"]

    [chapterplay url="VIDEO_ID"]
    ```

You can use the shortcode inside any page, post, or text widget.

#### External Services

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.

 * **Service:** YouTube (google.com)
 * **Data sent:** YouTube video ID only
 * **Data received:** Video title, author, duration, description
 * **Privacy policy:** https://policies.google.com/privacy
 * **Terms of service:** https://www.youtube.com/t/terms

## FAQ

### Do I need a YouTube API key?

No. ChapterPlay uses YouTube’s built-in data endpoint. No Google Cloud account or
API key is required.

### Why are no chapters showing?

Chapters are extracted from the video’s description. If the video description does
not contain timestamps (e.g. `00:00 Introduction`, `01:30 Next Section`), the player
will show a « Full Video » entry instead.

### Can I add multiple players on the same page?

Yes! Each shortcode or block instance is fully independent. Add as many as you need—
they will not interfere with each other.

### Does the player work on mobile?

Yes. The layout is fully responsive and adapts from 300px to full-width containers.

### Which YouTube URL formats are supported?

 * `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID`
 * `https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID`
 * `https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID`
 * Plain 11-character Video ID
