I'm attempting to use the ffmpegchapters-explicit.sh script to extract the chapters, but they alternate between Video and Advertisement, and it fails when it gets to the subsequent chapters that are also named Video and Advertisement. How can I modify it so the chapter names also have the chapter number in them? Thanks!

Hello! Thanks you for your work

Adapted it so I can extract chapters data & use it as YouTube marks!
