Sometimes when opening a YouTube video with chapters, the chapter-list ended up having all the chapters twice, despite the json from yt-dlp only containing them once. That must mean that sometimes add_single_video() runs twice before the chapter_list table gets cleared in the on_preloaded hook.
This can be avoided by replacing chapter_list with a new table before adding entries to it.
I don't understand why add_single_video() sometimes runs twice before the table gets cleared in on_preloaded, and it happens so rarely that I can't really debug it, but this change should at least prevent the problem with the chapters.
