Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Some podcasts are episodic within a single date/file (i.e. This American Life) so chapter markers would be very helpful. There are a few similar requests for audiobooks. Very much appreciate ABS - TY!

Why would this be helpful?

When sharing a podcast telling someone to skip to... if the tag exists, it would be great to have use of them

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Similar tick marks to 1604#issue, this and this

Would be awesome if these chapters were 'findable' for use in any future availability of .m3u playlists

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I'm not sure what you are requesting exactly. Is it the same thing as #1604 but for podcast episodes?

Hi @advplyr , YES - also, is there a specicifc version of tags ABS uses? These from ID3v2.3 (Chapter TOC & Chapter Start Time) or these from Vorbis?
