 * **captions**: Add captions or subtitles to the video in multiple languages. Provide
   the captions in the format:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       "path/to/captions1.vtt|lang1|label1|default,path/to/captions2.vtt|lang2|label2"
       ```
   
 * path/to/captions: The URL or path to the VTT file containing the subtitles.
   lang:
   The two-character language code, followed by a hyphen and an optional country
   code (e.g., en, de, en-US, de-DE).label: A user-friendly label for the caption(
   e.g., “English”, “German”).default: (Optional) Use this keyword to specify which
   caption should be enabled by default when the video is loaded.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [hls_player url="https://example.com/path/to/video_playlist.m3u8" captions="https://example.com/path/to/captions-en.vtt|en-EN|English|default,https://example.com/path/topath/to/captions-de.vtt|de-de|German"]
       ```

 * Thank you for your information. I think there is a misunderstanding
 * **Captions** work like you described. My question is for **chapters** (Kapitel).
 * When I set the captions path to xx.vtt with chapters, the content is only shown
   at the special time as subtitle, but not as a chapter to jump to the special 
   chapter.

 * Hello Klaus11,
 * Thank you for the clarification. I understand now that you’re inquiring about
   chapter support rather than captions. Currently, the plugin doesn’t natively 
   support chapters for jumping to specific sections within the media. However, 
   this feature can be integrated.
 * If you’re interested in having this feature sooner, please feel free to email
   us for a quote on implementing this functionality.
 * Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or need additional
   assistance.
