I’ve tried many different things, including moving the chapters vtt file to my WordPress – and various changes to the timing of the chapters etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Andy.

Hello Andy,
thank you for providing all the details!
The duration of your video is 1219 seconds, which is 20:19, as shown in your screenshot. So any chapters which are past that time are not going to show as they would lead nowhere.
Thanks,
MartinHello Martin,
Thank you for your reply. Please accept my apology. I meant to point out that when chapters are applied, the duration of the video shown on the splash screen is much shorter than the actual duration of the video.
Once you play the video, the correct duration displays (24:31).
Can you see anything in my chapters VTT which would make that so??
Best wishes, AndyHello Andy,
in that case the issue is that FV Player has not properly detected the duration of your video.
Please try to post your video again into a new player with the chapters, will it get proper video duration this time?
Thanks,
MartinThat fixed it Martin!
Thank you so much for your help. I should have thought of creating a new player (kicking myself)!
Now I just have another 72 videos to add chapters to!
Thanks again!
AndyHello Andy,
we are currently working on the new FV Player editor which will present the video duration in a better way. With that you would notice that the video duration somehow does not match.
Thanks,
MartinThanks. That sounds useful.
Andy
