No option to disable silence detection

[konfigurate]

I am using m4b-tool to convert loads of folders with mp3 files to m4b files.

While using the -v flag, I can see it is searching for silence in the converted file, which I would like to disable.

I tried using --max-chapter-length=360000, to make it stop, but it will search for silence nontheless:

m4b-tool merge \
        --ffmpeg-threads=8 \
        --jobs=8 \
        --audio-bitrate=128k \
        --no-chapter-reindexing \
        --max-chapter-length=360000 \
        "$1" \
        --output-file="$1.m4b" \
        -v

Is there something I missed reading the documentation?

Unfortunately, there seems to be no option to skip this. This is indeed wasting a lot of time if you don't want to adjust the chapters. Thank you for pointing this out.

My suggestion would be the following:

• --no-chapter-reindexing will skip silence detection automatically (it makes no sense)
• --no-silence-detection as a new parameter will skip silence detection but perform all other chapter operations as usual
