Bookmarks and chapters

Chapters
Kodi supports most embedded chapter markers when included in videos. Chapters can be skipped using up/down on most remotes and keyboards, which use the action ID "ChapterOrBigStepForward/Back".

As of v15, Kodi will also display chapters in the bookmarks window, accessible from the on-screen-display controls during playback. Kodi will automatically generate thumbnails for chapters upon playback of the video, which will then get cached/saved for future use.

Bookmarks
Video bookmarks allow you to create saved points within your videos in order to be able to return to them. This could be compared to chapters in DVD videos. In order to create them, go to the point in your video that you wish to bookmark, select the button with the folded paper (from the Videos OSD), and select Create Bookmark. To jump to a previously stored bookmark, simply highlight and select it through the Videos OSD.

You can clear all the saved bookmarks by selecting "Clear bookmarks".

Episode bookmarks
Starting in v13, you can set "episode bookmarks" for video files or ISOs that contain multiple episodes. This will allow you to jump directly to the point when a given episode begins, from the library, even if it is in the middle of the video file.

 In addition to using the bookmark window to set episode bookmarks, you can also use the action ID  with a remote control or keyboard button. This will simply pop up the episode selection box shown in steps 3 and 4 below.
