Describe the Feature/Enhancement
Please add a setting to allow for inclusion/exclusion of branding durations when using the chapter lookup.
When I lookup the chapter markers for books I procured from non-Audible sources, I see that the durations are always incorrect, and it gives me pause. I looked at the message being received, and it does appear that the intro/outro durations are included (brandIntroDurationMs and brandOutroDurationMs).
Please allow for us to select whether or not those branding markers should be included in the chapter timings.
Thanks!
Why would this be helpful?
To ensure accuracy of chapters for audiobooks regardless of where they were sourced, the "Audible" branding should be removed from the calculations.

Alternatively, since the majority of effort is due to the intro branding... Prep-populate the Shift Times with the negative value of brandIntroDurationMs. This way, you do the lookups, apply everything, then do shit times, and Add. The chapters would then be in a "no branding" state.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 25, 2025):
What's the duration and is it always the same?
@chriscam85 commented on GitHub (Mar 26, 2025):
The duration is not always the same.
As an example, the following three images are from the same series, and the last is another book (different series) which does not do the "This is Audible" at the start.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Apr 5, 2025):
Have you tested using the shift tool with the brand intro duration amount and it correctly lines up with the book you have?
I don't have any examples in my library to test with and the audible ones I do have with an intro the brandIntroDurationMs doesn't seem to make sense.
@chriscam85 commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2025):
Yes, in all my examples, using the shift tool with the intro duration (as negative) does correct the chapters.
I have a lot of books to process and looking at the Network tab will be time-consuming, so I suggest pre-populating the shift value.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Apr 8, 2025):
Interesting, I found some to test and the timestamps didn't line up
@chriscam85 commented on GitHub (Apr 8, 2025):
That's odd. I would think that the chapter marks coming from audible should always line up, including the marker for the brand intro.
Did you get those test audios from audible?
Should I gather more examples to verify what I'm seeing beyond these couple series I tested?

Fixed in v2.22.0.

Sorry to reopen, but I think this feature would be so much better if it was an option on the chapter matching page instead of the search page—if you could toggle it on and off and be able to visually compare if your book matches the proposed chapter structure that makes it much more useful. Otherwise you’re having to blindly guess if the book length matches the proposed chapter structure and it’s not easy to go back and reselect the toggle. In this image I indicated where might be a good place to include the toggle (and have it update the mappings in realtime) as opposed to the ASIN search.
